Hi Everyone,
Long time no talk I know!
Heres the thing - My girlfriend did a clearblue test today (it comes with two)
And it came positive- But at the back of my mind it's not sinking in and I'm waiting for the docs - Is the doctor definately more accurate?
Thanks
Phil

sorry dont mean to barge in on your thread
congratulations are in order i guess though?
The doctor told me that the tests you buy now are as acurate as the ones they do.
Is this good news?
that's what i've heard too.
when my brother's girlfriend got a positive on one, the doctor said they were so reliable he wasn't even going to bother testing her himself.
you sometimes get false negatives if you test too early, but i've never heard anyone who had a false positive.
When I told my dr that id done a positive home test, she said that was just as accurate as their tests, as they only look for the same hormone.
Firstly it is true that there has been a mix-up with the results of some pregnacy tests (see this article) BUT these tests are not available to the public for home testing.
It also seems to be true that doctors aren't necessarily testing people if they've already done a home test as they are so accurate (see this article). HOWEVER this is only if the test is used correctly in the first place.
It does sound like your girlfriend is planning on going to see her GP, which is exactly what she should be doing. But if you're in need of support or information then you can also go to your local family planning clinic and talk through and issues/feelings that are concerning you.
Hope this helps,

OK she did 4 test, two clear blue came up positive, one tesco blue came up positive but the tesco pink came negative! I think she drank too much water beforehand though
Not really good knows, but I'm not going to abandon my responsibity.
Off to the docs now to find out whats what
let us know what happens.
Tbh I think if she's done 3 tests you can believe the result :crazyeyes
then she tried again and it was negative- She ended up going the Docs and getting the all clear!
I was so relieved, things weren't going good at that stage as it was!
That's what the doctor said this morning :crazyeyes
I'm a little confused/shocked to say the least
I'll chat to you guys sometime when I know what's happening ..
Went to the hospital for a scan.. nothing was visible but the walls are thickened which usually happens in the early stages of pregnancy.
So they did a test.. and it came up negative (Even though we've had 3 clearblue's show positive, and two others..)
So she might be pregnant, we don't know. Other possibilities include the baby starting, like the sack or whatever so the hormone was released but it didn't take..
It's all so confusing, I lost it yesterday and put a 1 foot x 1 foot hole in my bedroom door with my fist, hand is a bit of a mess and I had to fork out for a new door today
I dunno.. life I guess..
I hope I don't sound too nasty, but meh.
A lot of pregnancies end in miscarriage early in the cycle, at least that is what I have heard. I might be wrong, but don't panic for another week or two, until the hospital are more sure.
And, it goes without saying, don't panic, and be there for your girl.
*hug*
thanks mate *hug*
That would depend on whether your gf has had any bleeding or not, really. I'm no expert, and probably wrong, so meh.
Just be there for her, regardless of what happens :yes:
And I will be there for her.
Well as the doctor explained it to me, the sperm could've taken to an egg, but literally for days/a week, and the pregnancy could've failed before even starting to create it, because in the beginning it's thickens the walls and releases the hormones (The hormones which are also used to test) - hGC
What a head fuck..
