Hi all,

I think FRER have 6.3 sensitivity so could very well be a genuine positive! I'd say fairly likely it is if you've had a negative test after previous loss as well!

Tentative congrats!

PS Should probably add that my cycles are a bit irregular but average length 26 days, this is CD 29 and no sign of AF. However given that I haven't had a period since the MC I guess I wouldn't expect it to turn up at the usual time anyway.

WHOOPS! Not sure how i managed that!

Anyway here it goes.

I sadly suffered a miscarriage last cycle (4 weeks ago) at 6wk+4. I got a negative pregnancy test about a week later and started trying again. I only used a cheapie strip test though, which I'm kicking myself about now.

At CD15 I got a positive OPK which was confirmed with BBT.

On Friday, which was 12 DPO, I got a BFP on a FRER and a faint squinter on a cheapie strip. Obviously delighted thinking I was being a second chance, but naturally very anxious given the previous MC. Today I am 14 DPO and took a CB digital with FMU - BFN Sad I followed that up with another FRER and cheapie but got pretty much exactly the same result as 12 DPO - don't think the lines have progressed at all.

Do you think I'm having a chemical? Or is it possible that the FRER is detecting HCG from my MC?

The CB leaflet states sensitivity of 25 so should really be positive by 14 DPO shouldn't it Sad

Will try to attach pic of both FRERs - top one is today.
