help, now i'm utterly confused...UPDATED

So I was due for AF on Friday. Sunday I POAS, but it wasn't FMU. I used EPT digitals. The 1st test came out with an errorChat Icon the second one came up Not Pregnant, but TMI I barely peedChat Icon

Monday AM, wake up...still no AF. POAS with FMU on digital EPT comes up PregnantChat Icon

DH insists that I have to do another one today "to make sure"Chat Icon So he runs out and grabs FRER (not digital). I POAS with FMU and it takes FOREVER for a barely there, so faint you almost can't see it, I think my eyes are playing tricks on me line.

So now....do I test again? I was sure yesterday with the digital BFP that I was good, but this morning's test has me doubting. WWYD?

****UPDATE 9/24
So my initial instinct was that a BFP on a digital is a BFP and all you girls pretty much confirmed that for me too. So DH and I made a tee shirt to put on DS to tell my parents and sent pictures to our immediate family. Stupid. I woke up today to AF!!! I should've waited to tell anyone until after we confirmed at the OB. Lesson learned. I don't know if it was a false positive or if it just didn't stick, but I'm bummedChat Icon

If the digital said "pregnant," then you're pregnant. I wouldn't worry if the second line on the other test is light as long as it came up within the 3 or 5 minute allotted time. A line is a line. The first 2 or 3 tests I took had extremely faint lines and then I confirmed the BFP with a digital. You can always test again, but it sounds like you're pregnant. Congratulations!

ITA.

There's no way a digital would say pregnant if you weren't. They are much LESS sensitive than FRERs, so if they say it - it's true!

Go for a blood test with your doctor!

Congrats! Chat Icon

Oh I am so sorry Chat Icon That is terrible.

It seems it was a chemical. I doubt the digital would have said PG if implantation hadn't happened....

I think its one of these things..while technology is great and we can tell things early now, it can also be devestating when it turns out to be an early MC.

I'm so sorry and I hope you get that BFP very soon!!! Chat Icon

Was it full flow or just spotting? Some people do bleed during early pregnancy.

If full flow, ITA that it sounds like it could have been a chemical Chat Icon
