How Reliable Are Digital Pregnancy Tests ?

Did a digital pregnancy test on 25th Mar which was positive, said 2-3 weeks. Havent had a period since end of November 10 . Have tested every week since then (all negative), just wondering if i could be more pregnant than what the digi test said. Use ovulation tests too and tested the other day just to see and the test line was much brighter than the test line. Am i (now 5-6 wks) or much furthur on?

Normally digital pregnancy tests are just like what they use in the doctor's offices. Get the 5 day first ?? pregnancy test that is always on tv. I used to work at a dr's office and they are just as good as in the office. Also maybe you should just go to the doctor and they can do a blood test and tell you exactly how far along that you are.
