1st Trimester

I *think* I'm pregnant...question

This didn't happen last time...I took an hpt yesterday afternoon and bfn. I took a digital at 6:30 this morning and bfp! An hour later, I took a dollar store test and no line. Huh? Am going to get another test today and take it tomorrow morning. What do you think? Trust the digital and just figure my levels an hour later were just not readable on the $ store test?

Re: I *think* I'm pregnant...question

  • False negatives are pretty common. I'd just get another test and wait a few days.
  • Different brands of HPT have different sensitivies to the hormones our bodies produce in pregnancy. I would assume that you're very newly pregnant (probably less than 4 weeks) and the digital you took was more sensitive than the dollar store test. Plus, your first morning urine would contain the most pregnancy hormones since it's been in your body for a while, so if you took the digital with that and then took another test afterwards with urine that hasn't been in your system that long, it's less likely to detect.

    You're pregnant. Congrats! Smile

    Trust the digital, or go out and buy a FRER if you would feel better by confirming. The lines on my ICs were soooo faint they were barely there, but it was really, really clear on the FRER.

    Oh, and YAY!!!! Big Smile I'm so excited about all these BFPs... when is your due date? Congrats!!

  • you have to hold ur urine for 4 hours to have enough HCG this early in your pregnancy.  I am sure the digital is correct.  Congrats.  Also, different brands have different sensitivities.

  • I got 7 BFN before I got 2 BFP.
  • I would trust the digital, your urine was probably too diluted an hour later. You can always pee in a cup tomorrow morning then dip several different tests into if you feel the need to take more than one test.
  • It sounds like your pregnant to me! Congrats!
  • Sounds like you're pregnant to me. Congrats!
  • You're pregnant! I did the exact same thing. Took a test- got a BFP, took another one, BFN. Then I held it for two hours and took two more. BFP, BFP!

    Congratulations!!!

  • Your urine could have been dilluted in the afternoon and 1 hour after taking a previous test...GL and I hope you find your positive answer!

    I got 3 bfps, including a digital, and am still testing negative on $$ tree. I think they are just not as sensitive as people think. You are pregnant!!

  • It's because you should be using your first morning urine especially if you are very early on because of the sensitivity of the tests. That's why you got your BFP with your first morning urine and BFNs when it wasn't.?
  • Erbear how are you!!!!!!!!!!!

    Some tests are more sensitive..get an EPT

    Go get a FRER and test again tomorrow to be sure if you want! Congrats!

  • You're pg as other posters have said. Start treating yourself like you're pg and re-test in a few days. I got BFN's for three days with HPT, before getting a BFP and I was prety damn sure I was pg with #2.

  • Congrats!  Different tests have different sensitivities... also FMU is most accurate for pregnancy tests.  Test again tomorrow morning.

  • Morning urine is the most accurate!

    Sounds pregnant to me!

  • I didn't get a visible line (meaning a line you could see without taking the test apart and holding it in the light) until days after my postive. 

    I doubt the digital could be inaccurate, but I understand you want to check again.  I say forget the $ store and pee on another digital or a FRER. 

    Congrats!!
