Helping a friend - doing my head in.

[jenna]

I was asked some advice and i cant find the answer.

Iv read somewhere that some women (very rare) never get a positive urine test. is that true?
also...

Another that says CB digitals ALWAYS have 2 lines? mine had 2 lines and my friends had the same but hers came up not pregnant...whats all that about?

Are CB are reliable as people say they are?

and if they always have 2 lines why doesnt it say that on the advice sheet? should she take it as pregnant or not?

hi jenna..
have a look on www.peeonastick.com
it has all the info about false positives and the clearblue tests x

 

[jenna]

thats where i read about digitals. I opened mine and was the same as hers but mine said pregnant and hers didnt. Im guessing the tests work by reading the lines as a 'barcode'. I dont know how you can get 2 different results if the lines are the same?

hi i tried CB with all my pregs. I got a neg this time round, didnt believe it so bought 2 Tesco ones for £3 odd and both said positive which is true. I think CB is just a money grabbing name. I never usually go for another make but i just didnt trust CB this time. I now wish i bough all the tests from tescos would of saved me a bomb

i first used £1 shop tests and all came up positive, and so did asda brand, so i think there all as reliable as each other

 

[jenna]

i told her to use another brand and she said they came up negative, i got in a flap because maybe my clear blue was negative aswell? The lines were the same, im 3 weeks late and got a + on another test though (well 15 test ) I got 1 negative but i think it didnt have a strip on it as i had one with 3 line on another in the same pack.

cb digi have a high hormone anount (they detect from lvl 50)
so i wouldnt trust these, as for the other tests maybe she producin less hgc during certain times of the day. it be best if she went to the docs to sort it out. it may sound nasty but she shouldnt allow u to get worked up on it, you have enuff to worry about and u dont need that pressure.

 

[jenna]

I know, i feel bad as im the only person she can talk too. Iv told her to see her doctor. I dont want to give out the wrong advice really. Got me in a panic but i know she didnt mean too.

you're right tho Jenna - some never get a positive urine test - their body somehow processes Hcg without putting it out into their urine
