And have any of you used a FRER and a FRRR (First Response rapid result)?
Just wondering because FRRR are much less sensitive, apparently being 50-100mIU, whereas FRER here (UK) are said to be 12.5mIU. I used a FRRR yesterday which had a super bold test line and barely a control line left, but today's FRER was darker than control line but wasn't like the FRRR. Is this because it's too sensitive to cope with the hCG level now?
I had a 2-3 on a CB digi, so in theory levels should be somewhere between 200-2000.
I was far more chilled out about testing with my other children, and didn't test loads with them, so I'm not hugely familiar with things like hook effect (if that's what's happening to the FRER) or if it just takes those longer to get as dark as the FRRR, which doesn't make any sense to me.
I should just put the tests down and just use the other CB digi in a few days instead
