Lines inside clearblue conception indicator?

[Chihiro]

Are the clearblue conception indicator tests the same as the normal digital tests, and have a second line regardless of whether you are pregnant or not?

I tested with two non digital clearblue tests with fmu, and got very faint positives. I don't trust them as I've heard bad things abou blue dye tests, so I went and got digitals.

I tested this evening and got 'not pregnant', I opened it up and there are two test strips, one with two lines and the other with one line.

Do they mean anything? I found this online which seems to suggest that only hcg causes lines on the strips

Urine travels up the Absorbent Sampler and flows through the pad. If hCG is present in the urine it
will bind to anti-αhCG antibodies attached to blue dye in the pad. The urine moves along both test
strips. As the hCG and anti-αhCG antibodies pass through the result line zone, they bind to anti-
βhCG antibodies to form blue result lines.
Both strips contain a ‘result’ line; the low sensitivity strip also contains a ‘control’ line. The Test
monitors the control line on the low sensitivity strip and only when a valid control line has been
detected will the result lines on both the strips be determined.
At low concentrations, hCG binds on the high sensitivity strip. At higher concentrations, hCG will also
bind to the low sensitivity strip. The concentration of hCG detected in the results lines of the two
strips determines the result of the Conception Indicator: 1-2 weeks since conception; 2-3 weeks since
conception; 3+ weeks since conception. If no hCG is present, the anti-αhCG antibodies attached to
blue dye flow past the result zones on both strips, and no lines will be formed giving a ‘Not
Pregnant’ result. If insufficient hCG is present, result lines may form but will be below the lowest
thresholds set, and a ‘Not Pregnant’ result will be displayed.

I recently used a CB digital with conception indicator. BFN and af 5 days late.

I also opened it up and found the lines and found the exact same quote on the net about how the new CB Digi works.....
Cant offer anything other than I am in the same position as you - not sure what they exactly mean?!!!!

Hopefully someone else will have the answers.

(The other guidance on the net re: lines refers to the standard digitals and not the new fancy one with conception)

Wishing you luck

Im pretty sure you cant rely on the lines inside a digi .Id reccomend testing with a First response test if you can.
Hope you get your Bfp soon x

digi is waste of money and a pure con!
id done a test when i was away on mothers day, was faint line, got home had clearblue digi, not pregnant, gutted! i knew there was a faint line so went bought asda brand tests, bit of a darker line, done 1 test as days went on got stronger.

Digitals always have two lines reganrdless of positive or negative.....

When i also got this with the digi tests i looked into it, this is what i found out but still not 100% sure how true this is.
Apparently you are always ment to get 2 lines, these digis dont test the same way normal tests do ie line or no line.
These tests basicly determin pregnancy by the intesity and darkness of the 2nd line.
Also to save on manufacturing costs they use the same type of tests for pregnancy and ovulation hence why there are 2 strips in there, one picks up pregnancy hormones and one picks up ovulation hormones.
This was ment to be taken from the patent for the digis, like i said its just what i read and it does make a bit of sense

hmm. seeing that quote i am not sure. i know that you are not supposed to interpret the lines, but it clearly says that a line will only form if HcG is present. and that if there are lines and the tests still says negative then the lines are just too light to be read as positive. i would go immediately and buy a frer and test in the morning. (or now, if you're anything like me!)

It is a really good site - but all of the informatin on the internet and that website refers to the standard digiatal tests and not the ones with conception indicator.

There doesn't seem to be anything other than the quote already posted about the conception digi tests....

I'm still undecidied about digitals.

Yes, but if you add the text in the original post and the info from here on digid's together, you get a full explanation.

You always get two lines on any digi, and the conception indicator in addition measures the amount of HCG caught by one of the lines.

i did another clearblue predictor test yesterday just for a nose, and opened it up, and it was one dark strip and one with nothing...... not sure how it works..

 

[lou1979]

just use a FRER much better at early detection, sod all that taking things apart.

 

[koselka]

sorry if this is an old post.........

quoting this If no hCG is present, the anti-αhCG antibodies attached to
blue dye flow past the result zones on both strips, and no lines will be formed giving a ‘Not
Pregnant’ result. If insufficient hCG is present, result lines may form but will be below the lowest
thresholds set, and a ‘Not Pregnant’ result will be displayed.


so....if you aren`t pregnant then you should see ONLY ONE line??? is this correct? xxx

 

[MrsJD]

I've done this test in the past, taking it apart that is.

It always has 3 lines so there is no way of knowing!

 

[koselka]

ah okay, thanks x

 

[susanneb1984]

I had this problem so called the helpline on the box....

No matter what lines it shows, it's whats on the screen.....the lines are just because the test works differently. I got really excited seeing 2 lines, but it doesn't matter how many lines are inside.

Sorry

I had the same thing happen to me with the digital pregnancy tests. I got a "not pregnant" but when I opened it up, there were two lines, clear as day! As I was reading articles online, there was a site that said these digitals pick up both HcG and LM (ovulation) hormones. Why would they use these on a pregnancy test? SO confusing!!

I just lost a baby 2 weeks ago, so not sure if the HcG hormones are still there, or what, but I hate seeing those two lines.

Good luck and hope everything turned out great for you!

I did one this morning one with one faint line and the other with a dark line and a faint line it said not pregnant before I opened it. which one its the pregnancy test and which one is the ovulation test?

 

[Charliemarina]

what i dont get is if they pick up LH then surely if u took this test whilst OVULATIING it would turn pos right?? why the hell would they do this it doesn't make sense, i took this test last night (the indicator one) and got a faint blue line next to control line and another faint blue line on its own on the indicator strip, now why would i get a line on the indicator strip that only picks up hcg right?
god i wish the site would explain exactly what they pick up i really do as i have no money to get another test b4 af due iv got a neg digi ripped open and dwelling on these lines now till af is missed or turns up....anyone got anymore ideas or knowledge as to weather i should have a line on indicator part?

 

[kimberleywats]

has any1 had a false neg wiv 3 lines inside with these tests, (the one with conception indicator) and actually been preg? i really feel preg- af due in 2 days, jus prayin i am this time!!! (i got a faint + wiv clear blue early test, but it was after the 10 mins, so could have been evap???) been VERY actively tryin for the past 5months, makes my heart sink every time i get a negative!

Ok so for the past week and a half , i have been feeling 100% pregnant!.. i have a 28 day cycle and i tested this morning (day 28) with a Digital Clear Blue Test and got a 'Not Pregnant'... I opened it up and got one dark blue control line and a faint blue line next to it and another strip which had a faint blue line. Whilst researching it on here and perhaps thought that i still could, maybe, possibly be pregnant... ,,,, I got my period whilst reading... So no.. these lines defianetly mean.... 'NOT PREGNANT'.... poop.
