Can you get a false positive clear blue pregnancy test

Q: Can Clearblue tests give a false positive?

All Clearblue® pregnancy tests are over 99% accurate from the day you expect your period. False positives can occur if youre taking fertility medications that contain hCG, if you have a rare medical condition (such as an ovarian cyst) or if youve recently had a birth, miscarriage or termination.

Q: How often does Clearblue give false positive?

Because hCG is usually only present in your body when youre pregnant, false positive results are incredibly rare. If you use a reliable pregnancy test, like Clearblue, you can be over 99% certain youre pregnant if you see a positive result.

Blue dyes are always notoriously prone to having evap lines or indent lines. I got a vvfl and am now 2 days late but still haven’t gotten a BFP. It’s hard to judge the accuracy of these tests when it’s a faint line or a vvfl. I always say to verify with a pink dye test or a digital a couple days after getting a faint positive on these blue dye tests. They are very easy to use but don’t be certain they’re a positive unless you confirm with a pink dye tests or digital or you have a very obviously BFP. AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THROW THEM OUT AND DONT LOOK AT THEM AFTER THE 10 MINUTE MARK!!! It will break your heart if your TTC and read these tests after the 10 minute mark as the evap lines are god awful after that time frame. It’ll makes a super obvious “BFP” with a thin line (thinner than the usual true BFP line) and you’ll think your pregnant but you are not. Don’t ever trust these tests after the 10 minute mark

Got another brand before this one and 2 of the 3 tests were broken so I was relieved to know these worked

It’s not clear, it’s not really blue, I guess it’s “easy” to pee on a stick so at least that part is accurate. This picture was taken 20 min after my fiancé followed the instructions. She took two other tests, a name brand and a store generic brand. Both were far more clear than this one. I do not recommend this product unless you are a couple with a pregnancy scare fetish.

Before you order please consider this review. The product itself was easy to use and read. Product arrived in a bag packaging and as you can see from the photos it was handled with little to no care. Regardless the product still worked and I would purchase again since it was cheap.

Definitely don’t cheap out when it comes to buying pregnancy tests! I tried two different brands and this was my preferred choice (also uses the Clearblue ovulation tests and liked those too!).

I got these when my husband and I decided we were going to officially start trying. It was just as easy to order them on Amazon... and we love in a small town. With my luck I would have ran into someone and then we’d get hounded with “are you pregnant yet?” Typically I probably wouldn’t mind that, but with this being our first we had no idea how long it might take or if any issues would arise.

Luckily we were pregnant after a couple months of trying. The three pack is perfect because I had used one earlier on (not pregnant) and then had the two left so I could double check the first positive I got.

The handles are easy, the reading was super clear and I definitely recommend these. If you are actively trying, I’d say to get a box to have on hand for when you suspect it’s happened!

I took the first test in the evening 6 days after my missed period (I received them in the evening and couldn't wait until the morning). I had a very light blue vertical line, but my boyfriend was convinced it was negative so I decided to take another in the morning.

I took the second in the morning during my first urination, and surprise, the vertical line was slightly darker but more obvious (in your face boyfriend, when a woman knows, she knows).

Anyways :) I took the third several days after that and the vertical line was even darker and showed up within 5 seconds.

This is my first pregnancy so I haven't had any experience with other brands of pregnancy tests, but these were inexpensive and worked fine. At the end of the day, the tests all work the same way.

I am now almost 9 weeks pregnant (confirmed with my internal physician) and still going strong.

I bought this after using First Response pregnancy tests for a long time. In comparison, my favorite thing about the Clear Blue pregnancy tests is the size of the test strip and that the test strips turns pink when soaked with urine. First Response doesn't have that. The turning pink really helps because then you can be sure that you soaked the test strip enough to have the test work properly. This is particularly useful for those who like to hold the test in the stream versus those who prefer collecting their urine sample in a cup. (Sorry if TMI!)

The windows to read your results are large and clear. No judgement or creative interpretation needed to decipher the results. It's right there, clear as day, and easy to read.

So far, the test has been 100% (negative-not pregnant) for me.
