Ugh, I'm so annoyed - I've been using the clearblue digi OPKs and this is the fourth error msg I've received in this batch (I get the little book and test stick icon). I've been following the directions perfectly. Irritates bc I keep wasting tests and they're not cheap.

I got error messages on 2 different clearblue opk digital "units" after using them for many months with no problem. I thought the units had run out of batteries or something. I never thought that something could be wrong with the sticks. I was pretty annoyed, but I got pregnant that month regardless!

Are you clicking stick in properly? I put one in backwards once and didn't get the error message until after I took the test!

@mrs. 64: hmm, I've only used mine for two months so I don't think it's a battery issue. Maybe I put it in backwards like @Mrs. Jump Rope: suggested
Hate wasting these pricey tests

that happened to me. the "unit" got wet and then i got the error message. so i sent it back to amazon, they refunded me the money AND sent me a new box. it was still annoying because i missed the window to test that month.

@pinkcupcake: Hey! I don't know what is causing the error message, but you should absolutely call the Clear Blue hotline and tell them. This happened to me and Clear Blue federal expressed a new box of 20 to my house and sent a bonus box of HPTs. I think my problem was that I was "flooding" the the little stick machine. Sorry for TMI.

@MrsMcD: oh really?? I think I'll give them a call tomorrow then! Thanks for the tip 
this box of 20 sticks was around $35 so I was starting to get really annoyed!

@pinkcupcake: I absolutely felt the same way.
ETA: But I still only use clear blue digital OPKs.

@pinkcupcake: That's great! I really feel attached to Clear Blue since I had that experience. I feel the company really cares about its customers.
