2 positive clear blue tests 1 negative clear blue digital??

[Slm123-]

hey everyone, I got my BFP on Weds evening and tested again on Thursday using clear blue tests. I have tested again today using the clear blue digital test which is showing “not pregnant”. I’m completely thinking the worst now but can’t understand how yesterdays were positive and todays is negative? Could it be that the test is wrong? I don’t want to be one of these people who keep testing but this has now massively thrown a spanner in the works ☹️. Has anyone had anything similar with the digital tests??

Hi. Are you at your test day. If not carry on till then test first urine of the day keep up with prescribed medication and retest a day later . Good luck. Diane

[Slm123- in reply to DianeArnold]

Yes iv passed my test day which was yesterday. Had two positives but today the clear blue digital test is negative?? Very confused and worried 😟

[DianeArnold Partner Nurse Fertility Network UK in reply to Slm123-]

Hi. See if you can get a eta hCG blood test done. Diane xx

[Slm123- in reply to DianeArnold]

I have and they’ve advised me to test tomorrow first thing as they wouldnt do a blood test unless I was bleeding? Seems so unfair. I can’t believe it’s been less than 24 hours since celebrating a BFP and it’s already looking so bleak for me

I had worries over a fading line on pregnancy test so I went to my GP as my clinic wouldn’t help me.

The GP referred me to GUE for HCG test 48 hours apart at my local hospital which gave me clarity. I think there are also options to pay for a finger tip prick blood test for HCG at home? It’s horrible when the POAS tests aren’t clear, I was very grateful for the GP: help x

[Slm123- in reply to Kitkat10]

Thank you. I rang my gp Friday but in the afternoon and they turned me away as they said all bloods are done in the morning and as they are closed over the weekend they couldn’t do anything for me 😞. The clinic have said I can have bloods done on Monday just to confirm but I feel like the test this morning has confirmed anyway. I will probably stil go ahead with bloods just so I can be 100% sure. It really horrible and I’m sorry you went through this too 😟

[Slm123-]

feel like it’s already over for me. This is so cruel I tested positive yesterday morning and now today it’s negative!? I’m really not coping with this very well. How can it change in less than 24 hours 🥺

[Habibi87 in reply to Slm123-]

Hi love, is it possibile that the tests you are using have different levels of detection? Maybe the ones you used yesterday were very sensitive ones (the kind that say you can test from a few days before missed period)? Were the lines yesterday clearly visibile ? X

[Slm123- in reply to Habibi87]

I did wonder this and thinking of all possibilities of why it has changed in the last 24 hours but I went and bought the exact same tests that I used and tested positive with yesterday and it’s now negative 🥺. I’m so upset as Iv lost all hope in this heartbreaking journey 💔. Pic attached shows 2 positives from yesterday and then 1 negative (today) 😢

It’s really heartbreaking and I’m sorry that this is happening to you. Sending you lots of strength

[Glaedy in reply to Slm123-]

I'm so sorry Slm123... it happened to me 2 transfers ago, I got lovely 2nd line and it just completely vanished 2 days later. My thoughts are with you

[Slm123- in reply to Glaedy]

Thank you 🥺. It’s so cruel isn’t it xx

[Glaedy in reply to Slm123-]

It is, and I'm so sorry that you have to go through it. I think that in my situation chemical hurt me less than when i had fully BFN, because in my head chemical ended as it did because maybe there was something wrong with the embryo and as it hurt maybe that was never meant to be. I am already preparing for the worst with my current transfer but I don't know if in the end it will get me anyway

[Fruitandflowers]

I did have this on one of my early losses where it went to not pregnant overnight. It turned out the HCG had never got very high even though I'd been testing positive for a while and beyond OTD. But equally it could be the tests you're using have different strengths? Maybe test again tomorrow to see what's going on then speak to your clinic.

[Slm123- in reply to Fruitandflowers]

I’m so sorry, it’s so cruel isn’t it. As if this process isn’t hard enough as it is but to get a positive one day and then the day after negative is just so brutal. Iv had less than 24 hours to celebrate our positive 😢. Clinic have booked me in for bloods Monday and have asked me to re-test but I’m just trying to process the fact that it’s over already. I’m absolutely broken 💔😢. I know it’s extremely naive of me but I just didn’t prepare myself for this. It seems much crueler than just getting a negative straight away

[Fruitandflowers in reply to Slm123-]

I know, I have two early losses under my belt and another that my body refused to let go. It floored me the first time which was my first transfer and when it happened again the next transfer I lost all hope. But my consultant said it was a good thing (so hard to see it like that at the time) as it ruled out so many conditions and complications, and you've come so far to even get implantation and a bit of development. He said it was just numbers and best case 1 in 3 will implant at all. My third transfer/first FET stuck so he was right for me, and then I had the later loss trying for a sibling, then a BFN then success. Don't get me wrong, the pain and heartache and sheer disappointment, especially that first time, was really really rough. And I was ready to throw something at my consultant when he said the first two losses were a good sign. But if it hasn't worked don't lose hope as your body did everything right and maybe just needs a few more tries. For now just see what the retest says and then take what time you need. X

[Slm123- in reply to Fruitandflowers]

Im glad it worked for you in the end. I have a 4 year old boy from a fresh embryo and it worked first time so I’m extremely blessed for him but I just never imagined things to take so long when trying for a 2nd. To be honest I was absolutely broken when it didn’t work following our failed FET in December as our experience previously led me to believe it would happen 1st time again and then came another failed in March and now this. I honestly thought this was our 3rd time lucky and was over joyed when we got our positive yesterday. I’m praying it’s all a bad dream and by some miracle it’ll be positive again in the morning but I know deep down it’s over. Thank you for taking the time to message. Throughout this really difficult time it is comforting to know I’m not alone and to have a place to feel connected with people who have been through similar experiences is really helping me xx

[Slm123-]

After an extremely painful night I have a heavy heart this morning. Test results negative again so it’s confirmed it’s all over for me 💔

[Wishinandahopin]

I’m so sorry. I have seen people have false positives like that on clearblue (a skinny blue line) - this was probably a bad batch- clearblue sadly notorious for this. A true positive the line would be thicker. It’s absolutely heartbreaking though! Sending lots of love and strength xxx

[Slm123- in reply to Wishinandahopin]

That’s interesting. Thank you. I will bare this in mind and perhaps avoid clear blue. Seems very unfair. I need to take some time now and process everything. I have bloods on Monday at my clinic but I’m pretty sure it’s just going to confirm the inevitable 😢

[Wishinandahopin in reply to Slm123-]

I’m sorry it’s so awful. I had 3 years of IVF before getting my son so it was all worth the heartbreak in the end but it is unbearable.

The clearblue digitals are fine but otherwise yeah the pink dye tests may be better. Xx

[Slm123- in reply to Wishinandahopin]

So sorry you went through 3 years of this. It’s really cruel but so glad you got your son as it definitely makes it feel worth all the heartache and tears. Well done for finding the strength to keep going. You must be extremely strong and resilient xxx

[Blahblahblahxxx]

I'm so sorry to read this thread but I know exactly how you feel. This happend to me at the beginning of the year, tested positive then slowly the tests got lighter until not pregnant. I was using these tests, clear blue digitals and pink dye tests and all we're doing the same thing.

It's absolutely heartbreaking, a loss is a loss no matter what stage you are at.

My story is similar to yours, I have a 3yo from our first fresh transfer so you just get your hopes up that it will work again with ease.

Sending lots of love 💕

[Slm123- in reply to Blahblahblahxxx]

Thank you for your message. It’s such a heartbreaking feeling. Each time it gets harder but I’m really struggling with this as it’s a complete set back getting a positive for 24 hours and then a negative. I went from feeling so high to so low 💔. I now have to find time to heal until we go again. I have one frozen left and I just really hope that it’ll be the one for us or another cycle which I’m really not sure if mentally or financially we’d be able to do ☹️. I hope you’re doing ok. Have you decided to keep going? Xx

[Blahblahblahxxx in reply to Slm123-]

We have one embryo left too so will be trying again with that one over the next few months 🤞, but like you I'm not sure if we will go for a full cycle again. For financial reasons mainly but I also don't know if I can put myself through it all again. We are beyond grateful for our little girl and so so lucky it worked for us first time so it may be a matter of accepting our little family of three and that's ok 💕Please do take time to heal, it's alot and you forget who you are through this process. I reached out to the counsellors at the clinic and that helped me alot! You will just know when your ready to try again.

Hope you are ok and have some strong support around you.

[Slm123- in reply to Blahblahblahxxx]

Ah good luck with your next try. I really hope it goes in the right direction 🤞🏻. We too are so blessed and grateful for our little boy but Im just longing for a sibling for him. I feel guilty for not being able to give that to him. Thank you for your kind words. I am definitely going to request counselling but the last time I did, I was told the waiting list is really long ☹️ . I too have completely lost myself in the process, I just want to feel happy again but the reality is sadly, I know without a positive ending I’m always going to feel a void which will always impact on my happiness. Much like anyone else who is in this position I suppose. For now, I have to heal and grieve our loss and find the strength to go again. X

[Blahblahblahxxx in reply to Slm123-]

100% with you there. The guilt is horrible isn't it, not only because I haven't been able to give her a sibling (yet) but also because I have spent so long feeling sad, I have struggled to be present for her. That's the main reason I reached out for support. But remember your little boy has you and that's all he needs! Your feelings are valid, and I promise you it does get easier.

Reach out if you need someone to talk to 💞

[Onedayilflyaway86]

the digital tests need a higher HCG level to show positive - from memory I thinks it’s 25+

The first response and clear blue early detection tests are an HCG of 7+ from memory

Maybe try again in a couple of days as you HCG should be doubling every 48 hours

[Doodlebug23]

On my 4th transfer I had a positive albeit faint that disappeared completely 2 days later. Had HCG and came back low so it was a chemical 😢.

It’s so cruel to get your hopes up with the positive then be brought right back down. Take care of yourself x

[Slm123- in reply to Doodlebug23]

Oh I’m so sorry. It’s such a cruel thing 😞. I kind of prepared myself for a negative but not this. I hope in time I will find the strength to move on from this and try again but right now I’m struggling so much 😟. Thanks for your message. Xx

[Kate-92]

Unfortunately this happened to me, I had several positive non digital tests the lines were faint so I had googled and expected what was to come and when I took a digital it came back negative & I sadly had a chemical pregnancy (Natural) x I am however currently 36 wks pregnant (IVF) 🙏🏼 - It’s such a difficult thing to navigate & a rollercoaster of emotions. Sending lots of love x

[Slm123- in reply to Kate-92]

Ah I’m so sorry, it’s a really tough time isn’t it. I don’t think I ever prepared myself for it. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Xx
