I know the rule is to never look at the test strip of the digital because there will be 2 lines sometimes even when you are not pregnant. I also know that most true POAS-AHOLICS still look! LOL! I thought I'd share the "progression" of the strips inside my digital from a negative through positives.

This was at 7 and 8 dpo, both read "Not Pregnant". The 8dpo test took the FULL 3 minutes to decide though so I wonder if it wasn't close to being pregnant.

Then at 9dpo I got PREGNANT on the display! The line as you can see is still faint and not much brighter then the "Not Pregnant" line at 8dpo. The 10dpo line is much darker.

Here is inside the test at 12dpo (AM), display read "Pregnant" after about 25-30 seconds! Line is much brighter, thicker and more blue.

Here is 12dpo (PM). The line is pretty similar to earlier in the day. Result took 35 seconds to show up.

And last but not least, today at 13dpo (2nd morning urine) the result came up in about 25-30 seconds and read "Pregnant" and the line is veeeeeeeeeeery blue. This is my last digital and I don't think I'll buy anymore (but who knows!)

I just found it interesting and thought i'd share!

thats pretty neat! thanks for sharing

wow that's cool! thnx 4 sharing that. i didnt even know u could look inside a digital hpt! thnx again!

Todays test line was the darkest of them all, its very very blue.

wow! beautiful lines.....my lines are still very light....

girl, i think you might be having twins!!!!

Well those were inside the digital and the lines were much darker then my FRER because I think they also detect other things. Here is my 13dpo FRER

I think the lines are pretty normal (based on frer) so im not counting on twins! LOL

Wow, thanks for sharing. Very interesting!

I always knew that them lines meant something. Even tho clearblue tell you to disregard them. I also opened mine up in my last pregnancy. And the one that said 'not pregnant' had barely a line.. and then a few days later when it said 'pregnant', there were two very clear blue lines.

I didnt know you could open digitals and they'd be lines lol. But what if it is twins, you dont have a spare seat at the table xxx

very intereresting you sure know your tests dont you lol
