Accuracy of Pregnancy test

Hi Ladies, I need your eyes and advice! Been TTC after a heartbreaking miscarriage in June and I am cautiously hoping this is our month. I had mild cramping most of Tuesday at 12dpo and noticed that evening I had what I think was implantation spotting. I am now 2 days late for my period but other than the spotting and some backache I have no signs of pregnancy or period. I’ve done multiple tests this week and what is getting to me is the first response early detection tests keep saying negative but on my pregmate test strips (pic below) I can see there has been a faint line progression. If I am pregnant again, should I be worried that at 16dpo, my hcg has not risen enough to be detected on an early response test? Has anyone experienced something similar? I’m freaking out 🙁

I would see if you can get a blood draw for them to check your hgc and progesterone. As long as it’s doubling you’re good. It’s hard to tell that from a home test

My home birth midwife did blood draws for me, bur if you have an OB give them a call

Usually you can get blood tests done once you have faint positives. So I would ask to get that done as the others have said. I also for whatever reason have always gotten early positives on strip tests way before getting a positive on a first response early detection.

The thing with blood tests is I will only get the results in 3 days (plus have to pay) and I hope the at-home tests would show by the time I get the blood results 🙁

@Ali it’s reassuring to know you have always gotten early positives from a strip test before the first response early detection 🥰

Darn. I always got mine same day (as long as I went in the morning) and my insurance covers it. I’m sorry that’s not the case for you. Hopefully they continue to progress and you get one on the first response 🤞🏻💕

I've never used pregmate but I use the easy@home. However, I got positives on the easy@home I think like 4 or 5 days sooner. I'm assuming all of your strips are multiple times a day? I think i was able to take a clear blue digital at like 12 dpo and got a positive. But I think it depends on how much hcg you produce and what not. I would definitely request a blood test and your progesterone as well due to your miscarriage.

Looks like a chemical pregnancy to me 😭
