[dachsundmom]

J, I am so very proud of you for getting the ball rolling!

Now, stick to it and make it happen!

Morning ladies! I have a poas question. Is a digital pg test (using blue dye) more sensitive than you looking to see if there's a second line? Thanks.

I don't know I usually don't POAS and I've never used a digital...

Not sure Empty, but i do know that it is less emotional, biased, hormonal and more impartial

Absolutely! It's why I got them, I need brutal honesty for me to let things go. It's just when I ejected the test strip there was a faint but definite second line. It was there from the beginning and didn't change. But I didn't know if that happens with all digital test strips. (See, can't let things go!)

I don't actually do the POAS hpt thing have never seen the point unless I'm properly late and can get a definitive answer of the test

BUT from what I've seen it's what BF said, ie the digital is LESS sensitive so will give you a definitive answer either pregnant or not.

Because the digis are expensive people tend to start testing with ICs and if there is something there, then they graduate to the digi.

I was actually just reading something yesterday that said there is often a 2nd line when you eject it but you MUST ignore it and only take note of the pg/not pg - sorry hon

No, that's okay, I appreciate the info!

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

I just found some info that stated most women will get a second line b/c the strip also detects LH. The author thinks they do this so they can use the same strips for ovulation kits as well.

 

[dachsundmom]

Never, ever open the digi! Stare directly at the sun, but do NOT open the digi! You will always see 2 lines, 3 if you are using the UK/Canadian tests with the conception indicator.

The tests pick up LH as well; the reader isn't looking for the number of lines, but for the depth of them.
