Do not use clearblue tests!!!

WhisperGirl · Apr 4th, 2018, 12:53 PM

I'm so so upset. Today I spent £9 on a clearblue early results test and it came back positive. I used two First Response Early Results tests and BOTH are negative. Confused I looked up online to find that Clearblue are NOTORIOUS for false positives. I'm so upset. Not only is it unfit for purpose but they've known this for years apparently and carry on selling them regardless. FRER are even more sensitive so if I was pregnant it would definitely have shown on those tests.

If I were you ladies I'd avoid Clearblue tests. What a thing to do on a family having just lost a baby in the last few months thinking we had finally conceived our rainbow 😭😭😭

I just got a faint positive on a blue dye test this morning but after reading around I am concerned it isn't true. So I'm going to the store for a FRER after work to test again in the morning. Makes me really happy I didn't tell BF about it yet.

Also, I'm very sorry to hear that you've been let down like that. After losing a baby and trying over and over, it is a shame to get a false positive. I cant believe the company can continue on making products with known deficiencies like that.
