OK, I just tested using a clear blue easy digital hpt. It said "not pregnant" My question to those of you who have use it: When you take the test strip out, is there always 2 blue lines?? I have one dark blue line and one light blue line. I know with other hpts this would mean something BIG, but I'm not sure about this one????? It doesn't say anything about the lines in the directions, because the digital reading says "pregnant" or "not pregnant" If anyone knows, please let me know! Im about to go crazy thinking about it! Im expecting AF tomorrow! Thanks for listening, KIM

Yes, there will almost always be two lines on the stick. The digital reader actually reads the color band, which can not be read by the human eye. But, I know those are not very sensitive at all, so I would try a different test, it may still be too early. Good Luck!!!

Funny you say that as i used one of these today as well. I had the same thing. It had 2 lines so like any other test, you would assume this was good, even though it comes up not pregnant. I guess I'll try a different one!

This was a question I had to know the answer to. My doctor recommends that you dont look at the lines when using the digital test. The first is a control line that indicates that the test worked properly. The second line test for both the hcg and the luteinizing hormone that almost all women have some of at any given time. So thats why you can get 2 lines but a "not pregnant" response. Hope this helps!
