confused?

Hey everyone

So today is the first day AF is supposed to be here. I havent gotten my period...yesterday i took a Clear Blue easy digital and it clearly said PREGNANT but...this morning took an EPT and didnt see any line at all?? I'm bummed now...Has that happened to anyone?

even 2 days ago I took a CB easy digital and First response early response and they both were positive...

Are EPT not as sensitive or should I be worried?

I wouldn't be worried. The EPT one sounds like it is not working, the control lines should have come up, if nothing comes up at all, no control lines, no negative, I would say the test stick test is faulty, expired, not working. Once you get a BFP, even if it were a chemical pregnancy you would still have the hormones in your urine and would still test positive for a few weeks. I would get another test, or just go with the two positives you already got and know you are pregnant. COngrats.

It could just be an error, or not enough pee. I would just try another test. GL! Geeked

The ept control lines were there, just not a positive line.

Thanks for the info though trying not to be stressed!!

I believe that the EPT is less sensitive. For me when I first found out, all I had was one clear blue easy digital test so I took it and it said pregnant. So I went to the store and I actually also bought the EPT and the line was sooo faint I would have thought it was negative if I had not know better. So then I went back and bought a first response test too lol because I just had to know if I was or not and that one did have a pretty clear line. I believe the EPT is not that sensitive. Have you tried any other brands? You might also want to go get your blood drawn to be 100% sure. I really hope it turns out well for you!

You can google the sensitivities of the different pregnancy tests. They all detect at different levels. With my first pregnancy 5yrs ago (I am on #4 now) I did this and found First Responce was the most sensitive.

If I'm remembering this correctly from 3 months ago when I did testing... First Response measures HGC levels at 25+, EPT measures at 50+. If I'm remembering correctly, it's entirely possible that it's just too early for the EPT to work. Trust the First Response. CONGRATS!!!

Could be the sensitivity level of the EPT...if your hormone levels aren't high enough, you might not pass a less sensitive test. It should state on the box the sensitivity level of the test. Test again, if you don't pass, wait another week and test again--your hormone levels should be high enough by then.

Chances are, you're fine, and so is your new baby...congrats!

You're pregnant. You have two technical repeats for one experiment (2 days ago) and another experiment today. You're fine. Call your doctor for the blood test order and make an appointment for 8-10 weeks, unless they will see you earlier. Congrats.
