Here’s my story. I bought a three pack of the Clearblue Easy Digital pregnancy tests. I tested first thing Wednesday morning, 12dp3dt. I read all the directions and followed them carefully. I got a very clear “Pregnant” result. I was thrilled as my husband and I have been TTC for 7 years. I was so excited I called my sister and told her the good news. My Beta was scheduled for Friday. Then as I was surfing the internet looking for happy HPT positive websites and I stumbled across http://www.peeonastick.com/issues.html . It said there were some confirmed incidents of false positives on digital tests. I wasn’t really worried about a false positive because I assumed it was rare or the people didn’t do the test right. But I thought just to be sure I’d buy another brand and retest. I purchased a three pack of First Response Early Result. I retested Thursday morning with a second Clearblue Easy Digital and also a First Response Early Result. Again I read all the directions and followed them very carefully. I was shocked at the results. I fully expected both to be positive but that was not the case. Again the Clearblue Easy Digital test had a very clear “Pregnant” but the First Response Early Result was negative. It had only one line. Believe me I looked. I felt like crying. I had two more First Response Early Result tests so I used another one. I thought maybe the first one was bad. I got a negative with that test too. So now I am assuming I am not pregnant. I tested again this morning before I went in for my beta. This time I got a negative with both the Clearblue Easy Digital and the First Response Early Result. So now I am assuming I am not pregnant. Needless to say I won’t be buying the Clearblue Easy Digital again. I’ve been reading the boards for a couple years but I’m kind of shy and this is my first post, but I just felt like I had to warn everyone so you wouldn’t go through the heartache I’ve been through these past few days. I get the results of my beta this afternoon. If it’s positive I will post the results, but I’m fully assuming it will be yet another negative so I’ll probably go back to my lurking. Thanks for listening.

Hugs - macon!! Who knows right...that beta will tell everthing. IF it is a false positive than I would be very upset with the company. False negatives are one thing but false positives are almost criminal!! :fuming: I'll be looking for news of your beta. It is possible that the other tests weren't as sensitive as the digital test. Best wishes!

Macon - I hope you get a wonderful suprise from your Beta today. Please post your results.

Here's some extra BABYDUST!!

I have read about the problems with Clearblue digitals. I am so sorry you were a victim of it! I have read of people who were able to get their money refunded by Clearblue - small comfort I know, but if enough people demand a refund maybe they will have to do something about the problem. GL on your beta - and lurk if you like but please know that there is so much support and friendship available here whenever you need it!

Hi ladies,

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. I know that you posted this a while ago. But I was wanting to know what you found out.

and also to let you know. I know how you feel. Dh and I have Been TTC for 4 years. I have a blocked tube. about 6 months ago. I was a week late so I bought those ClearBlue Easy Digital test ( I figured what the hell, I use the OPK test and love them) well I got a "POSITIVE". I took it in the early morning before work. I couldn't believe it. I had to splash water on my face. And look at it again. I started crying. and called Dh to tell him. We went out that night and bought a pair of baby shoes. put then in two different boxes. wrapped them with wrapping paper. (needless to say my father had a major accident right before this and was in ICU for 6mths. and now has brain damage) I was so excited My family really needed so great news. I went in the next day to get my Beta done. and it was negitive. Negitive. They said they couldn't tell me if it was a chemical pregnancy or a false positive.
I didn't believe it I took a test everyday after that until AF showed up.

I know how you feel and I know how hard of a blow it is after TTC as long as we both have. I cried for a month after that. 4 years of TTC and that was my first ever positive test. Just thinking about it now is making me want to cry again.

I am sorry that you had to go through this pain! but I am hoping your story has a good ending not like mine.

Debbie

I'll make sure never to buy them... I have never had a +, and would rather it be real...
