What to think?

I had a + EPT last night and a - CBE digital today. I had a - Quant HCG last week and I am supposed to have another one done this friday. I remember with my last pregnancy I had a - blood test and then a wk later I had a + blood test. Could it be that the CBE has a higher HCG rate than the EPT?

Thanks,
Darcy

Hi. Actually, you're right. Digital HPT's are not as sensitive as the old fashioned pink/blue dye tests. I can't remember the exact sensitivities, but yep, digitals are not as sensitive. Now, whether or not you're pregnant is beyond me, and I would just wait for the results of the blood. When was AF due?

Thats a good question. My last LMP was 2/5/07. I am thinking I ovulated a week later this cycle. I figure if I was on a normal cycle I would of been due for AF last week.

Hmmm, I'm about nine days behind you. My lmp was 2/14, but I'm certain I o'd early this cycle, so my AF is technically 2 days late. Unless I o'd on time, in which case, AF would be due tomorrow. But in any event, I just say wait for the blood test, because by now it should be accurate.
