Anyone used the Early Response test and got a result early?

Hiya

Have popped over here from the Conception board.

Am in the 2ww and wondering whether to shell out on an Early Response test, has anyone used them and got a good early positive on them?

I know I should just be patient but I am addicted to POAS!

Cheers
Ali

Get a Superdrug one, I got a positive 4 days early with one.

Ooh ok will go and have a look, thanks. Are they meant to be more sensitive than most then, almost as much as the Early responses?

I had early response ones and didn't get a positive until I was actually late, everyone's different though. If you can hold out and wait it might be better as I found it disheartening seeing negative results.

Thanks for the replies.

Must try and resist buying First Response, they are way too expensive!

Have just ordered some Superdrug ones.

I should really learn to be patient, much cheaper!

Ali - I got a negative on a first response but a + with Superdrug. They are meant to be more sensitive, yes. They're also one of the cheapest :)

When is AF due?

AF due either Sunday or Tuesday. The tests will not be here in time for this month but maybe next time. Or maybe I'll nip into town tomorrow for some, depends how obsessive I get!

I used Superdrug and got a positive almost a week early. That same day I tried Boots own brand and Internet cheapie - both of those came up negative.

I used a First Response and got a BFP at 12 DPO. A dark line appeared straight away so I'm guessing I could have got a BFP much earlier if I had tested. Smile

I used the First Response tests 12 DPO and got a positive. No other tests showed up positive until a few days later so I swear by them!!

I did a First Response at 14dpo (I know the timings exactly as it was a IVF embryo transfer) and the line was there but faint. I think if I'd have tested any earlier, it may not have shown up. I convinced myself this was a bad sign as I'd read so many stories about women who had got good lines at 10, 11, 12 dpo. I therefore thought it might be a chemical pregnancy. At 15dpo my blood test showed an HCG level of 142 which was very good so didn't seem to correlate with the faintness. I'm now 15 weeks pregnant. I've learned that every woman is different!

6 days early with FRER, but I'm having twins so that might be why - when I was pg with one and mc'ed I didn't get a BFP until the day AF was due.
