Just found this:

most IC = 25mlU
sensitive IC (it will SAY sensitive on it) =10mIU
FRER = Ive heard as low as 6mIU


I know that wondfo does make tests that are specified as "sensitive" tests. So I guess this is the difference. Obviously hard to get a positive test even on a 25mlU when you're only 9 or 10dpo.
 
FRERs in the uk are 25miu. I don't think we have any other FRERs that are any more sensitive. Apparently asda's own tests are 20miu. We don't seem to have as much choice when it comes hpt's as the US ladies.

I think asda's own are 15... i thought they were 20 but was told 15 and then read the same thing in the leaflet. And frer 6 days early is 12.5 or 15 aswell isn't it? Not sure though
 
Oh are asda's 15? I always thought they were 20. Lol. I don't know about the FRER 6days early because no where around here sells them :( and I've never bothered to order them off amazon. I think FF said they were 15miu though.
 
OSOMs are supposed to be 100% accurate at 20miu and 60% accurate at 10miu. I guess they're so sensitive some women don't like them because some women have a small amount of hCG always in their system and it can pick that tiny amount up too. :shrug: Not sure, they're supposed to arrive today and i'll be taking a test to test out their 'no/rare evap' claim!
 
LoveSanrio, I'm liking the look of your chart right now (yes I'm stalking haha) :)
 
Girly, you can also order the frers off their website... it's only about 8 pounds for a pack of 5! Much cheaper than in store!
 
I'm here for my pitty party. I'm 11-12 DPO and nothing but :bfn: I'm just so disapointed. I've used FRER 6 day'ers, CB Digi and even the $Tree ones. Nothing, not a hint, not an evap. Just a huge, glaring :bfn:

I just want to stay in bed indefinitately. And it's not because I'm not pregnant yet, it's that I get the overall feeling that is just plain isn't going to happen for me. I just don't know how to deal with it. Part of me wants to just throw in the towel and accept my fate, the other part wants to get acupunture and take more crazy pills.

I just don't know what to do. I know you guys can't tell me but I just don't want to unload this on my DH right now.

Awww thanks hun :) I'm hoping tomorrow's temp is high as well. I keep teeter tottering back and forth with the "I think I'm pregnant." And the "Nah, I'm not pregnant." It is driving me crazy. I keep poking my boobs to make sure they still hurt haha! And if they don't hurt enough I get worried thinking they don't hurt as bad as yesterday so maybe AF is close. Grr... so frustrating.

I'm just ready to know!!
 
Blackrain90- how are you feeling hun??? :)

Not horrible lol! Haven't really had any morning sickness (some dizziness) but have had pretty much every other symptom in the book haha! Constantly starving, cant sleep more than 6 hours without peeing, minor stomach cramps, and moooooody lol. My first ultrasound is next week, so excited!! Thanks for asking! :) How are you doing?

Sorry to hear that Hun, things will get easier, but it's not helpful when you see the BFN :( Just remember, you aren't out until AF shows. If she does, then you are that much closer to a possible BFP next month. :hugs:

I know it's terrible! Hopefully in a couple of days you will get your BFP! Sore boobs are a good sign though! But even if you are preg, they may not always hurt, some days are definitely more sensitive than others. How long until AF is due?
 
I'm doing great! :witch: should be gone tomorrow, then back to my wait until I O! DF is more and more on board with TTC more every month... he thought it would happen automatically the first time, now after two cycles I think he's starting to worry! Lol. So he makes sure to ask when my fertile time is so we can BD, promised me 4 consecutive days in a row of BD'ing so hopefully we catch our lil egg this time!! OSOMs will be here tmw (thought they were coming today but of course not!). Can't wait for my next TWW so I can try out their sensitivity! Lol.

Blackrain90- can't wait to see your scan!!!!!!!!! Eeeek so happy/excited for you!

baby4me2013- Awe hun, don't get discouraged!!!! :hugs: You will get your precious little one in time!! <3 <3 I know how hard it is waiting, and how EASILY it is to get discouraged- but know that we are all here for you to vent to and get it all out! Remember, healthy couples have a one in four chance getting pregnant each cycle. And that's if all of the timing is right! Health officials say not to worry unless you've been TTC for a year, and then you should seek fertility specialists and still, there may not be anything wrong- 80% of healthy couples conceive within year one! Just keep your hope alive, keep trying, and you will get your baby!!! We can't give up! <3 <3 :hugs:

LoveSanrio- your chart looks awesome! Really hope this is the cycle for you!!!
 
Blackrain- The evil witch is due to fly in on the 14th! So getting very close! I plan on testing in the morning with FMU, but I don't really have any good tests, only the IC's that I read aren't as sensitive. What tests did you use to get your BFP at 10dpo?? I told DH that I am going out tomorrow and stocking up on FRER and digis. He didn't protest LOL

Clynn- Thanks hun! We will find out very soon! I have everything crossed!
 
Girly, you can also order the frers off their website... it's only about 8 pounds for a pack of 5! Much cheaper than in store!

That's where I get mine from but theyre just the normal FRERs not the six days early ones. I got 10 this cycle and I think I have 3 left. :blush:

I did an IC this morning and my line is getting lovely and dark. I think it may reach control line dark in the next couple of days the way it's going!! Lol. :happydance:

I just checked mine and it says at the top of the box: test 6 days before your period (or something like that) and it says it in the leaflet aswell! :shrug: And I got them from the website last cycle. Got 2 left.... So atm can only test twice, hopefully I can manage to keep them till later than normally :p haha If not I might try out the superdrug ones, heard good things about them! (I've still got 1 superdrug digital aswell but won't use that until I have a faint bfp)
