Any stories about FRER digis yet?

I have two of them under the bathroom counter in my arsenal. I am still way too early to test :( Their claim is that they are as sensitive as the regular stick hpt. Has anyone got any stories about bfps with the digi and low hcg? I am dying to put them to the test. Only a few more days......

The most consistant brand with the lowest sensitiviy is frer. Yvette got a bfp at 6!!! Not all within the same brand are as sensitive though. You can have two sticks out of the same box with different sensitivities. There have been many tests on the hpts and frer always wins. Here is a link for one:

They redid it in 2007, but I can't find the link. Consumer Reports did one, too.  The last bfp I got, I got a pos on frer at 10dpo. The digi didn't show until 12 or 13dpo. I'm just wondering if the frer "gold" digis are as good. I sprung for a 2-pack a month ago. And yes Lori, they are expensive! I think it was $25 or $30. But, if it keeps me from going blind at 10dpo squinting and holding that d@mn pee stick to the light looking for the faint line, it'll be worth it, lol. I just hope it's the answer I've been waiting for *sighs*

I heard they were extremely expensive.  If they are no better than others, why pay more?  Is there some neat little something about them?
