What does this mean?

Why is FRER not giving me any lines?

 

[bumpyboo]

Thats strange!! Are the FRER ones the early results ones?? Ive always thought tescos were best!

 

[princesskiki]

isnt it something to do with how sensitive the tests are? x

 

[jenny25]

im not sure hun i think tesco is 10mlu and frer being 25 mlu so maybe you hcg isnt high enough for frer to detect it yet or your urine is too diluted x

 

[dt1234565]

Guess it could be that, nice sensive Tesco ones then hey.

I have found old posts where FRER hasnt worked for people https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-...e-pregnancy-tests-ones-do-you-rate-slate.html

Off to buy some Superdrug ones later, if i can get a BFP on two different makes of test then i will believe it, the FRER is throwing me off.

i have got bfns on frer then later in the day or the next day got strong bfp on a test less sensitive, and i have got a strong bfp on superdrug and the same day got a bfp..hmm, i might go get one this week, see what it does, cause had a bfp on most other tests out there, but never a frer!..wierd..congrats on your bfp! xx

Thank you xxx

FNER messed me about too, did one in the evening that was faint positive and then checked again the next morning with FMU, just to be sure, and it was negative! I am pregnant tho, and got positives on internet cheapies, and CB digital when I tested the same day and not with FMU.....

[dt1234565]

thank you xxx

 

[princesspie]

I tested with tesco tests 1 day before af was due and they looked exactly the same as yours do the line took a good couple of mins to come up too... is that the same as you? xx mine were like that for over a week xx

I never tested with FRER sorry so i can't compare but the tescos look completely normal to me xxx

I did do a digi test the day af was due and got 1-2 .... perhaps try that? xxx

 

[Charliemarina]

TRUST them tesco there huns just like mine were, frer are known for not being the best but for some there great, i never use them if honest i just LOVE SD and tesco cant beat them, oh and by way by time my tesco lines were that dark i had 2-3 on digi go get more tests hunny ur defo defo preg 3 tests wont lie forget the frer there lying for sure!!!!!

 

[mummyto3]

id ay ut preggo hun congrats x

 

[mummy4kids]

i thought frer were the best ones deffo lines on the tesco tests hun congratulations.xxx.

Well, I can tell you that I just got my BFP and here was my testing experience:
I used FRER and I got a faint positive. Two hours later I did a blood test and the HCG came back as 12!!! That means that the FRER caught it at 12!!!!

 

[Sweet_Alida]

Go get a digi. With lines like that maybe your FRER were just a bad batch? Were they all from the same pack? I'd call FRER and tell them about it too after you confirm it with a digi or bloods.

 

[dt1234565]

Done a digi, not pregnant. However was expecting that as they are less sensitive.

Frers are from different batches as far as i know (ordered from Amazon).

May call Drs later.

I can understand EVAPs but if these Tesco ones are evaps, OMG!

Think my first action is to try not to test for a few days and see if FRER comes up with anything.

Otherwise I am not pregnant and so embaressed DH is over the moon

 

[Sweet_Alida]

I am so sorry I really thought a digi would've worked. I would defo try to get into to your doctor. If those are Evaps....WOW! I've seen some pretty convincing Evaps on this site and those would make the top 5 I've seen! Good Luck and please keep us posted.

I got negatives on my FRER for a week after I got my super bold positive on a dollar store test. I see the lines on the Tesco.

 

[natasja32]
