So about the digital........

So does anyone know the sensitivity of the digitals? Would it have just been too early to pick up on it and do you think it would show up on FRER??? I tried to lay down and take a nap and when I got up I am now feeling very very dizzy to the point I feel like I am going to pass out when I stand up and I am very nauseous so I am thinking about going to get a FRER. I have never felt like this. I am a little worried.

My bfp was with a Clear Blue Digital, my blood HCG level was 27 that day (I had the blood test about 3hrs after my positive urine test.)

I had used an CBD 2 mornings before and it was negative

With my first son I used EPT brand and it was closer to 50. this time I TRIED an EPT normal + -  and only got a very very faint BFP that day. It took a week to darken up and I'm now almost 35w!

I might be the exception....but I had a positive Clear Blue Easy digital last Saturday and then Monday morning I had a beta blood test and it was 30.  Since then my levels have been more than doubling so who knows what it was on Saturday - but it had to be less than 30.  I would assume around 15.  It was also a faint positive on First Response that same day.

GO to pee on a stick.com they have all types of hpt and the levels they pick up. I was told by Clear Blue Easy digital that they have to have 100 HCG to pick it up! Give me a break! I guess that is why no one gets those wrong when they show. Some of the FRER have 50-100 also. The digitals need more then just the normal POS. I say first morning urine!

Think I am going to hold off til morning. Trying not to get excited about anything.......only to be disappointed. I havent been peeing alot and that is usually a giveaway for me so I doubt I have anything to be excited about :(

Wow, being that dizzy is concerning.  I think you should test again after holding your pee for another couple of hours... lol   Good luck and SSBD.  Sounds very promising.

No not late yet just going carzy. lol I really dont feel well so I am wondering. I took a digital earlier (clear blue easy) that was neg but it wasnt FMU and I had been drinking coffee all morning so I was wondering how accurate it would actually be.

Most of the tests will pick up when the levels hit 25, but some brands are more sensitive and will pick up at 20 or even less.

right before i got my BFP i was sooooo dizzy i could hardly breathe i thought i would faint...just by walking a block back from the store. i uses a first response rapid results test the day after my period was due (same day as the dizzy spell) and got a very quick very clear BFP and am now almost 17 weeks preg. i dont have any experience with the digitals though.
are you late yet or just going crazy lol?
