how much better is frer???

Ok, I am 10 dpo today and I tested this morning with FMU and again after holding it 6 hrs lol.  I have taken 3 tests today already.  Two of them are the earlypregnancytests.com brand and the other was some freebie sent to me by some marketing company.  Anyway I got 3 very faint postitives.  With the 2 ept.coms they are visible in normal light without sqinting lol but very very faint and they appeared within the time limit, the freebie is only visible in bright light like holding it up to a window but it was also within the time line.  My question is do you think i should go get an frer?  Would it be more sensitive or just a waste of money.  After 8 months of TTC I'm really hoping these are true BFP's I haven't gotten evaps on the ept.com's before and these were within the 3-5 min range (the test says don't read after 10).  Please help!! Any experience would be great!!  Thanks :Ladies (p.s I have a coupon for $2 off frer lol)

I used EPT and a clearblue digital when I wanted to see actual words and they all worked perfectly for me. :) So I have no experience with FRER.

I had better luck with Answer brand and ICs - my FRER wouldn't show up until 14 dpo whereas the answer showed up at 11-12dpo!! My ICs showed up at 10 dpo!! Good luck though!

they were both pink dye tests I have rarely gotten an evap with ept.com's and these were pink lines, I was just wanting opinions on them versus the ept.com's

Blue dye tests will have evaporation lines. FRER is the most sensitive test (lab tested to measure 12 MIU of HCG; most other tests pick up 50-100+ MIU).

I would use FRER with first urine of the day tomorrow morning!

I used a frer 13dpo and 2-3 days before my period was suppose to show, and I got my BFP, after trying for 6 1/2 months I would wait 1-2 days and then re-test in the morning with your first morning urine since it's always the best to detect your HCG. Also if you go to www.peeonastick.com they will give you a list of all the pregnancy tests out there and how sensitive they are.

First Response Early Result (newer, oval-window version)  ~ sensitivity = 25

FRER is one of THE most sensitive HPT's on the market.

I'm thinking that you might be preggo! But just in case I would get an FRER since they are a pink dye test. I don't know what type you have but I don't trust blue dye tests since I have gotten false positives on them before.
