Thanks Caryn - I will. I went in for a blood test today anyway, which (thanks to my miscarriage in January) is the part that makes me really nervous. The results will probably be in tomorrow so I'll know for sure pretty soon. I still have the faint but clear results from the other tests today so I'm optimistic. I'm so impatient though, wish I had ESP.
HPT Results - Digital or Not
June 16, 2008
Dear Dr. Q,
If I ovulated when I think I did, I am 21 DPO and just got faint positive results on both the Clearblue Easy + or - HPT and the Early Results HPT test strips. My BBT is still elevated and AF has not shown. Nevertheless, I am confused because I took a digital HPT as well (I know, I've been compulsively testing) and got a BFN using the same urine sample that yeilded the + Clearblue Easy test. Is there a sensitivity difference between digital and non-digital HPTs? Does it seem like I'm really pregnant?

Good luck Kelly. Hope it is a BFP for you. I'm in the same kin of situation.I took my first round of clomid on days 3-7. Had a postive opk on cd15 and got a cd21 progesterone test back from which my doc thinks I ovulate. Today is cycle day 16 and I still have a negative digital test(ept) On Saturday,Sunday, Monday, days 12dpo, 13dpo and 14dpo i had pinkish or brown CM with a tinge of blood but no AF. let me know how it goes for you please.. Lots of baby dust!!!!
They are - my blood test was a BFN. Although I'm more inclined to believe those results than my HPTs, I don't know if that's the final word though because I'm still late and I still have elevated BBTs, etc. Without medication (BC pills or Clomid) I'm irregular with shorter than average cycles (varied but less than 23 days on average). Once I get a + OPK reading though, I can usually predict within a day or so when AF is due (generally 13-15 days afterwards). That held true for last month's cycle on Clomid (got AF 15 DPO). This month I am on CD 37 and (according to my OPK and BBT readings)22 DPO. I had some light spotting from 8 to 12 DPO but considering my usual LP lenth, the fact that the bleeding was very different from my usual AF, and the fact that my BBTs remained elevated throughout I did not think this was AF. I called my Dr. back fo I can find out what's going on and am waiting for a returned phone call. Meanwhile does anyone care to venture a guess? Dr. Q any thoughts on this?
