Two Positives with Clear blue advanced digital

LAF0926

Hello First Tri- I have mainly been a lurker over in TCC. I got my first positive with my Clear Blue advanced digital test last night. I took a second this morning and it is still saying pregnant 1-2 weeks. Has anyone had any false positives with this brand?

I know a positive is a positive so I plan on speaking with my doctor on Monday. I just wanted to see if anyone had any issues with this brand?

It is very uncommon to get a false positive. Unless you are having some other issues your doctor might not even see you on Mon as many doctors wait until you are 8-10 weeks for your initial appointment

I don't want to see her, I just want to see if she will order blood work. Thanks for responding.

A pregnancy test can't tell you how far along you are so ignore the 1-2 weeks. It's a gimmick. You're pregnant.

This. You're pregnant OP. Is there any reason why you think this test might be giving you a false positive?

taahira

No, not specifically. I just wanted to see others thoughts on this brand. I did a little google search and saw some people have had false positives with it. I don't always believe what the internet tells me. That being said, after two tests I do have more faith. Thanks for your response.

Edit: I don't always believe the internet...

If you are really worried about it you could try a HPT that is a different brand. I did a pink line test and clear blue, and I really don't think both brands would be false positives

This. If you're really concerned, I would try another test to ease your mind. Tests from the dollar store have a good reputation so you don't even have to spend that much.

And I agree with PP, unless there's some kind of medical reason your PCP is probably only going to give you a urine test, not a blood test. Is there a reason you want a blood test?

Thank you all very much. I went out and got a first response and got a BFP on that as well. I'm convinced now! No, I don't want blood work. I'll do whatever my PCP recommends.

Like PP have said the week indicators are total BS and a gimmick.  If its pos congrats your are pregnant! The digitals are usually less sensitive so go on out and get another brand like FRER if you're that concerned. When I got my BFP I used both FRER and wondfro.  Called the doc told them I got a BFP on a HPT and they had me come in that day.  They tested my urine and sure enough a BFP on their test too.  From there they sent me for a Beta blood draw to see my numbers and then came back 2 days later to see if I was doubling. Many offices won't do a blood draw unless you turn a urine test in their office. They use basically the same ones as the HPT's anyway.

I called my PCP yesterday and she requested I get blood work. I went yesterday so I am waiting for the results.

Thank you everyone for the responses.

Your doctor didn't trust the pee stick?

I did not question. I just did what I was told.

Way be checking what beta HCG is and to see if doubling? Did they tell you you needed to come back in 2 days?

They did not have be schedule another appointment. My PCP ordered the blood work but I did call my OB office to inform them as well.  My OB wanted to make sure that they ordered a quantitative blood test.  Hopefully I get results by later today or tomorrow. I really don't know why they ordered it. I will ask when they call with the results because I am curious now...

This is exactly what my OB did.  When I called to tell them I had a HPT BFP they had me come in for a Beta quantitative and progesterone.  Once they confirmed they were doubling and good then we scheduled a dating U/S.  Seems to be how a lot of docs do it in this area.
