Q: I did a clear-blue easy digital one in the morning on monday that was positive and one on tuesday night that was negative. I am not supposed to get my period until the 30th or 31st. Just curious, I’m a little anxious to know.

A: There have been issues with false positives on the Clearblue digital. Here is the text from an article on it:”False positives on Clearblue, e.p.t., and generic digital tests: some confirmed incidents ongoing issue; current as of October 2006 In October 2005, after receiving e-mail from several women complaining of false positives on digital tests (e.p.t. Certainty, Clearblue Easy Digital, and various generic digital brands inclusive) I reported the claim here and asked for more information and anecdotes.In the months that followed, I did receive more e-mail on this subject– about 20 more women reported “Pregnant” readings followed by subsequent negative tests and bleeding. It is difficult to confirm a false positive vs. early miscarriage (many women test positive and proceed to have a period-like bleed; this is also known as a “chemical pregnancy.) Even blood tests can’t always confirm this, since hCG dissipates from the blood before it leaves the urine, meaning that a blood beta can be negative while a urine pregnancy test is still positive (for a short time.) However, these reports are credible for a few reasons; for instance, many of these women continued to test negative on all other brands of test; again, it is less likely that a digital test would confirm pregnancy “in isolation” with no other tests ever becoming positive. Some women managed to confirm, without a doubt, that they were never pregnant– some of them tested (obsessively? 😉 prior to ovulation, when pregnancy was not yet even possible. The difficulty in gauging the size of the problem with the digital tests is that I have no data on how many women have used the test with accurate results as opposed to those who have received false positives; I have only anecdotal reports. I’m sure tens of thousands of women have used the test with accurate results, myself included. It is still much more likely that the word “Pregnant” on your digital test indicates pregnancy than a false positive.”Here is the website if you want to read more:http://www.peeonastick.com/issues.htmlThe other possibility is that you used first morning urine on Monday and more diluted urine on Tuesday evening, and that might have made a difference since it is still early to detect a pregnancy. The best thing to know for sure is to take a reputable test (First Response) with first morning urine tomorrow. That should let you know for sure, one way or the other.I hope it works out however you want it to!
