Digital HPT's*!!! (???)

**BC-QueenValerie** · 05-17-2007, 11:34 AM

Hello*!!!! I was wondering for those that have used digital HPT's in the past how your results went??? I took one today 13dpo....cd=26....and the digital part said Not Pregnant.....so then I eject the test strip and of course examine it....well I didn't have to examine hard to see that there is a very faint 2nd line.....I mean very faint. holding it up to the light shows a little better...and to make things better Ken even saw it... I ejected it right away....so it wasn't like it sat fr 15 minutes....nit even 7 minutes really...

Has anyone else had this and if so what was the outcome???

I plan to test agan....I am slightly excited, but also guarding my feelings...

Thank you*!!!!!

I have never used the digital test, so no advice really. If it was a very faint second line, maybe it has to be a higher count to register the digital "pregnant". I hope so!!!! Good luck!!!

I don't think the digital tests are supposed to be read like a normal pregnancy test, I think they measure different hormones or something..... I read and article on it somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. I'll cross my fingers for you though!! Good luck.

Hello*!!! thank you*!!! yeah someone gave me a site that says that digitals can be confsing, but basically not to read the lines....and something about they measure at 50 units.... Soooo I will wait and see what the 1line/2lines read...

I've still got my fingers crossed though.

No advice or experience w/digitals - I've taken them & gotten a BFN, but never taken them apart! Just wanted to wish you ++ luck!

**BC-QueenValerie** · 05-17-2007, 01:52 PM

Hello*!!! I didn't actually take it apart, just EJECTED the test strip....I got them at Meijer's (their brand) buy 2 get 2 free kind of deal....so thought hey why not play the digital game.....I really don't like them....hahaha

Thanks again*!!!!!

13 dpo could still be a little early, so I would definitely test again in a couple of days. But I don't think I would get too excited over seeing a second line on the digitial. Granted its been awhile, but my recollection is that they do get a second line regardless of whether they have detected enough preg. hormone. It's something to do with the way they are made, and the lines don't mean the same thing as on a regular hpt. But I'll keep my fingers (and toes

) crossed that it was just a false negative
