Maybe it could be a bad test. Try taking first response again and see what you get. Best of luck!

Digitals generally have higher thressholds. I'm not certain what the level is for clearblue easy, but it is probably 50. FRERs are about 8. HCG should double every 48-72 hours in the early stages of pregnancy, so assuming the longer variable for the time and the lower end for hcg levels, let's say your hcg was 10IU 3 days ago, which would make the level today (72 hours later) a 20 -- lower than the threshhold of the digital. So, probably you're totally pregnant, just it's still too early for a digital. I would test again with a pink line test or wait a few more days for the digital.

CONGRATS!!!!!

When I was pregnant with my son, first response was positive and let was negative. Cramping without bleeding is normal, your uterus is stretching. Congratulations!

I wasn't bleeding then but have had a pinkish mucus come away a couple of times today. My head a mess now! Took a couple of cheap tests since one didn't work at all & the other was negative. So confused right now!

Digital tests need a higher HCG level to register as positive, thats why they arent considered accurate until welll after your missed period. I would stick with the normal tests, they are much more accurate and dont need as much HCG to detect and read positive. You are deffff pregnant tho! Just disregard the digi test. CONGRATS!
