The digital was blank
This is just crazy! Has this ever happened to anyone?
I am 11dpo today and decided against my better judgement to test. I used a FRER NON digital and NOTHING. Not even the control line showed up.
So I had 3 digitals and decided to try one of those. I saw the hour glass blinking and then NOTHING! It just disappeared to a blank screen.
I decided to try another and NOTHING! The same thing happened and AGAIN with the third one I have.
So that was 4 tests (1 FRER and 3 CBE Digitals) and NOTHING.
Am I doing something wrong here? I dipped the sticks in a cup of FMU. I just dont know what to make of this.

Re: The digital was blank
Are they expired? That has never happened to me, maybe call the company and ask them....maybe they will send you some replacements....

Re: The digital was blank
Did you lay them flat after you dipped them? They can't be at an angle and still have the pee move across the stick properly on the digital at least I believe.

Re: The digital was blank
They were not expired and I did lay them flat. I *think* I dipped them long enough but I guess I cant be too sure. I counted to like 7ish. Im sitting here at work so frustrated. I wish I could leave and go buy more.

That's very strange! I wonder if dipping them for TOO long could effect the result. I hope you get your BFP!

I know it's not funny but I can't help laughing...
It just seems so appropriate that one of us girls would have an experience like that lol
Im so sorry!! hopefully you can skip out on your lunch break and pick up some more. Maybe it's a sign that you should wait until tomorrow!!
GL!!!

Re: The digital was blank
This happened to me with the digital opk. I think I may have shoved the test stick in a little too far. When I tried again it worked.

Re: The digital was blank
the first cycle i got a BFP i tested first with an FRER and there was a faint line. i then dipped a digi and waited and it also went blank. i did another one and it worked and said pregnant. that ended up being an early m/c, but it was so weird that the digi did that!! i cant believe FOUR tests did that for you though

I think when you dip them in the cup, it has to be 20 seconds. Maybe it wasnt long enough?

as long as the hourglass starts to flash that means it has enough to work the test. so if you saw the hourglass before it went blank you def kept it in long enough.

Re: The digital was blank
I've had that happen but only when I tried to pee on it, now i use a cup and always follow the seconds exactly, since then it doesn't happen
Some say 15 seconds some 20 seconds

Looks like they all just wanted me on the edge of my seat all morning.
I bought 3 more after I left work and finally got my BFP
