My friend got a "not pregnant" on a clearblue digital hpt 8 weeks after sexual contact. I thought this closed the issue, as she also was having period-like bleeding, but then she took the same test a few days later and got a "pregnant". I hear people say all the time on here that there are no false positives, but if you read customer reviews for some tests, especially the new ones like clearblue digital, testimonials of false positives are frequent. What gives?

She got a blood test at the doctor yesterday and should find out the results tomorrow or Saturday.

My suggestion is not use a digital test if there are problems with testing. Typically the only way to get a positive result is if hcG hormone is present in the urine. False negatives are very common, due to the hormone not being in high enough concentration. Now there are some rare diseases that produce hcG. Emphasis on the rare part. An eptopic pregnancy would cause a positive result, while not false the pregnancy would not be allowed to continue. Since she went ahead and visited her doctor, I would just wait for those results. If she got a blood test done it would be sensitive anyway. In conclusion, don't use digital tests. Apparently there is some faulty manufacturing going on. They are not better. The hospital lab I work at uses a non-digital test device for urine pregnancy testing. Just my two cents.

i've done a hpt 3 times at home this week and its negative although a week ago i did a blood test at the doctors and it was positive. as your friend has had the blood test, the results will be the final ones. there are some hpt that are more sensitive than others. around 40 days after last period the results should be clear.

I don't know, but I would just wait to see what the blood test said. Even if she had period like bleeding, it could of been implantation. Or some women have "periods" while pregnant. I would buy a different brand of home pregnancy test, and tell her to take it with 1st morning urine.
