I am really starting to get angry and frustrated of HPT:s! I've had positive tests on cheapies for a week now (pic incl), DPO is maybe something between 13-16, not sure because did not test dor ovulation.
So here's the deal: several positive tests on cheapies, (taking two every Morning), and all came back positive with a line that is not as dark as the control line but pretty clear. I have been anxious and moody for every two days (also other symptoms indicating pregnancy).
Although cheapies are positive, clearblue digital (weeks) came up negative dpo11 and this morning FRER game back bfn! Compared to the cheapies, there is a clear difference and that is making me very frustrated and even angry. I also asked my husband to take the cheapie-test and it came back negative. So the cheapies would'nt show false positives either? Perhaps.
What to believe!?
Here in my area they don't test for hcg-level bloodworks, so the only thing to make sure that I'm pregnant right now is the tests. I truly want to believe I am pregnant with these cheapie results (pic taken within the time-frame and these two are from a week ago and yesterday).
I have upcoming ultrasound at 6+2-6+3, and it is gonna be looooong two week wait.
Any advice or experiences?
These tests were taken a week ago.
This is yesterdays test.

im not surprised at as they take a bit more hcg to work but frer should have shown!
But I can't really imagine that the negative tests are accurate - fake positives are quite rare (apart form vvvvvvfls) and accoring to my husband, bff, and my co-worker - they all said that these positives are not even faint lines, they are quite clear positive tests.
I'm so glad that I spoke today about my anxiety and panicing to my co-worker, because she just sent me to hcg-level testing! Going today, but the result is probably ready somewhere between saturday-monday. She told me that normally these testings are not done (as I already knew) because HPT:s are reliable.
When she heard my situation and my background (infertility and hormonetreatments in the past to get pregnant), she thought that I need that test to be done. She also made me promise that I wouldn't do any more tests after I get my results - because there is not going to be any doubt if my hcg-levels are in fact implying pregnancy...
Do you have a picture of the FRER?
I have read tons of discussions this week about getting positive and negative tests at the same time - I’m starting to think that maybe there is a reason why some tests show positives and some don’t because there were soooo many experiences...
If I had believed the first test - I wouldn’t even know that some tests could be negative at the same time when others are positive...
Even my hubby did one of the cheapies and it was BFN and mine still positive - what the ....?! And some days even the same urine sample gives two positives and they could even be little different colours, but positive both.
Soon as I start bleeding (if it starts), and it resembles normal AF, it will be chemical pregnancy/early misscarriage. So the tests did not lie - hpt:s nor bloodtests.
Something tried to happen and that is way more positive than having a looooong long cycle with negative tests and many symptoms. Something tried to happen so that means my body (and DHs) works and we may get pregnant some day, sooner or later (hopefully).
Dunno what to think, doctor should call me today...
