Default ClearBlue pregnancy test confusion
Hey girls,
I had IVF done 7 days ago (egg transfer 7 days ago). I have been feeling very pregnant. This will be my 4th baby so im in que with pregnancy symptoms. Im very quesy, sore BB's, feeling hot, tired etc.

I just did a ClearBlue digital pregnancy test which said 'not pregnant'. So I pulled apart the cartridge and I can definitely see a faint 2nd line which is still visiable within arms reach. Which one do I believe???

Sorry, but the instructions specifically say not to take the test apart. The lines don't count on the digtial HPT's.

I think I read that there is always a line in the digis if you take them apart. It's still early days yet, so I'd say test again in a couple of days.

Maybe try a different brand of HPT? I managed to get a false positive with a ClearBlue digital...

Yep, digital tests don't work the same as normal pregnancy tests. Digis always have a line, pregnant or not.

Same thing happened to me this month hun and i did alot of searching. Apparently with the digital tests they pick up on another hormone in your body and thats why it shows up with 2 lines sometimes. Apparently with the digital ones you are not meant to take the cartridges out and read them. Hope this helps
