What is your opinion on digital test?? I have taken several pregnancy test and I have been getting faint positives on them. I took a digital yesterday afternoon and it said not pregnant. I am so frustrated!!! I believe AF is due today. Any thoughts??
I came onto this board originally not ttc to but now we are going to start if it turns out that I am not pregnant. Thank you already for your support and advice!!

Hi! My name is Jenny and I was dealing with this last cycle. It could be that you may have ovulated a little bit later then you originally thought. Your HCG levels that are ready by the test too determine pregnancy double I believe every 48-72 hours depending on the person. I would wait a couple days which I know is hard but I would wait and then take another test. I received 3 positive pregnancy tests and then after that kept getting negatives. Found out when AF started 6-7 days later that it was a chemical pregnancy and the bean wasn't able too implant. I would wait a couple days because at that point you should be able too get something concrete. If after the 2-3 days you are still getting both positives and negatives I would make an appointment for a blood test with your doctor and they will be able too tell you within 24 hours what is going on. It sucks too have too wait it out but this early in the game that is the best thing too do. GL and let us know what you find out:)

*hugs*

Digital tests aren't as sensitive as line tests, so you just might not be showing up yet.

Then I would test again in the am, but you are probably pg and the digital just isn't registering it yet.

Thanks Katie! I will test again in a day or two. My only concern is why does it take a couple of mins for the faint positive to show up?? It shows up in the appropriate time but it does take at least 2-3 mins to even show up. With my 2 other pregnancies the positives showed up immediately. I am obsessing!!!!!

I wouldn't say that's all that uncommon.

I am all stocked up on digital tests and won't use the line tests anymore after a chemical pregnancy last week (early miscarraige). Jenny - my nurse practitioner suggested we wait two cycles before TTC again. I think this is to let my body recover. She was short on the details. Just curious if you were told to wait after your experience?

Is Af late for her show??? It seems like you have been getting faint lines for several days now?? If so and you want to know for sure, I would ask Dr. about a blood test. That would tell you, if not like one of the other ladies said, I would wait a day or two and check again with the digital! Good Luck! Hope the sticks and AF stop messing with you and you get your BFP!!!!

AF is due today, I think. I wasn't really keeping track of things so I am not 100%. No sign of her yet though!
