Standard vs. Digital HPT

[AreIn83]

Ok, I had 5 faint positive IC's between last night and this morning. I took a standard HPT this morning and got a positive and went and bought digitals at lunch and got a not pregnant?
Has this happened to anyone?

Aren't digitals not as sensitive, I don't know.
Gah.

[AreIn83]

I don't either. I have no idea. I'm thinking that it's wrong but I just don't know yet. My HPT was most def positive, not an evap.

Never had a positive, but that sounds very promising. Probably just different sensitivities

 

[Beccaface]

Yea, im saying the sensitvity love!
All your other are BFP!
Are you going to go to the docs for blood tests?

I'm going to wait until Monday to call. I had a chem in February so I'm a little scared of calling just yet. I just wasted a damn expensive test but I thought that it would give me the right answer!

i got a BFN on 2 digitals tests the day AF was due but i bloody knew i was pregnant haha so i went and bought some normal stick tests and got my BFP.

with the stick tests even if its a faint line you know its a positive but with the digitals theres no in between, theres either enough hormone for it to show a BFP or not good luck!

that's my standard, I was tyring to get the not preg digi with it but it wasn't a very good pic

Digis have a sensitivity of hcg50.. most standard tests are anywhere from hcg15! So it takes a bit longer to show on a digi

 

[a_missy]

no worries

i see 2 strong lines there.... if your tests are the same as ours in the UK then thats a BFP isnt it?

 

[AreIn83]

Yep, it would be a . That neg digi really got me down
