Anyone ever have problems with Clear Blue pregnancy tests?I've taken several First Response tests and they've all been positive. My period was due Thursday. Tested this morning with both and again first response was positive and CB was "not pregnant" I called the DR and I'm going in tomorrow to confirm. I'm worried my HCG levels aren't where they should be. Anyone ever have this happen?

Clear blue is not accurate!! I've always heard to stay away from them, even my OB said not to use that brand. In my first pregnancy I used Clear Blue and it said negative. Two weeks after my missed period I was cramping, nauseated, sooooo tired, etc. I bought a store brand pregnancy test from the pharmacy and it came back positive.
I would not trust or believe what Clear blue tells you. I'd stick with the First Response's results.

It took me FOREVER to get a clear blue positive. Seriously, like a week after the first response I started getting a very very thin line.

I took the digital Clear Blue 2 days prior to when i was supposed to start and it showed Pregnant. I did research and people say the Clear Blue non-digital isn't as reliable? Which did you take- digital or non?

it depends on what your HCG is! I've found them to be very accurate and love them- but they're not as sensitive! Some people implant later and it takes longer to get the digital "pregnant". As long as your other tests are positive I wouldn't worry.

@jcollins1018,
This is exactly what happened to me. I took a clear blue digital Friday and it read pregnant. I took 2 Sunday and it read not pregnant but I got a really faint positive on First Response. My period is suppose to start tomorrow and I am so nervous.

@johnsonnnn3,
could you have possibly had a chemical? that happened to me. they happen around when your period is due. FR are super sensitive so honestly they show a line most of the time, even if you have already started having a decrease in hcg. i hope that isnt the case for you but in my experience, thats what it was- a chemical loss.

@jcollins1018,
Be cautious of Amazon. I read that Amazon is selling knock off’s of First Response. I would suggest going to a store to get them bcuz ppl have complained of false positives from the Amazon ones

The clear blue digital isn’t as sensitive. I had 3 days of positives, very faint because I tested at 9dpo, before I had a positive clearblue digital. I think you just need to be further along!

I’m glad I seen this post, cause I took 3 of these & they all showed a negative line (you could already see it before being used) & the control bit on the test showed nothing. So I’m guessing they were faulty? I’ve been told the non digital ones aren’t accurate but I was so disheartened & doubting my body (symptoms) till I saw this post. Going to buy first response tests now.

Clearblue (all taken within 24hours)couldn’t decide if I was pregnant or not. First response was sure I was.

@afarnario,
Did you end up being pregnant? I’m having the same issue. Digital FR positive. Digital CB negative.
