FRER

Hello!

First time trying to conceive so this is all brand new! I think I am around 8/9 DPO based on my charts and opk results (I'll post my chart too) and I had a negative on a FRER this morning. Had a few symptoms so now feeling a bit deflated about it. It is our second month trying and charting and we have been a lot more commited to it this month than last, so really thought we might have got it right this time. I know it is still early, but just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or if anyone has any positive reassuring stories of early negative FRERs that went on to become BFPs? Last month I had a FRER that looked almost positive for one day and then negatives after that, so wondering what tests other people are using or if they really are the best about? Thank you!

@mummytoolive Thank you! I did look at an untested test just now and there is a line! (I guess this what they called an indent line!) The only way is waiting... which is so hard during the 2WW

@Millymillymillymillymilly
Hey, so if it came up in 3 mins it's unlikely an evap as they usually come up after the time frame, the only real way to know is to do another test in 48 hours and see if the line is there and darker x

Millymillymillymillymilly · 05/10/2021 12:33

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting... I am driving myself crazy as I'm trying to figure out whether the line I'm seeing is a pink one or a gray one...

It's soooooo faint but I saw it after 3 mins of testing (using FRER) and I'm currently 10dpo... just wondering what's the likelihood of it being an evap line or an indent (can someone actually explain what that means? Having an indent line?)

Thanks!

I haven't checked this thread in ages, but I just thought I'd post an update in case anyone stumbles across it whilst looking for answers...I myself have googled things obsessively and know how frustrating it is when you can't see what happened in the end!

I didn't get a positive last cycle when I started the thread but I got one this morning! I had completely stark white negatives on FRER until the evening of 9DPO when I had a mega squinter that I didn't believe (I even took it out of the casing to see better). Tested the next morning at 10DPO and the line was there again but although I could see it and that it was pink, it was still quite faint and so I still didn't trust it. Anyway this morning at 11DPO I got a darker line that was much more noticeable finally 🙂! I will keep testing the rest of this week to make sure the line gets darker but I'm feeling very positive about it as the difference between yesterday and today is quite significant.

FYI I have had almost no symptoms really, no sore boobs, very very light cramping but nothing different to usual PMS, no nausea or anything. The only thing that was different this month is that I had a temp dip at 7 DPO, and then my temperature spiked again but I wouldn't say it has settled at much higher than it normally is anyway!

Hopefully this will help someone who reads it that is looking for answers about the infamous FRER tests, as I have been for the last few months 🙂.

@mummytoolive youre so sweet thank you! It looks like a positive for you - so best of luck

mummytoolive · 28/06/2021 10:10

Thankyou @user090909
Good luck to you this cycle! I always like to think of AF arriving as the possible first day of my pregnancy it use to help me get over my previous cycle 😊

user090909 · 28/06/2021 10:09

just got my AF . good luck @mummytoolive

mummytoolive · 28/06/2021 09:50

Not sure what is going on in my body but I've woken up with period like cramps, AF feels imminent 🤷🏾‍♀️ maybe a chemical or a false positive 😬 (TMI but CM is white and very wet) don't know what to think

user090909 · 27/06/2021 09:30

Ok thank you you're right as well I should wait! I just thought by 10 days post o it would.be clear ...

mummytoolive · 27/06/2021 09:03

@user090909 there may be a vvvvvvv faint shadowy line there but I do think you're testing too early, try wait as long as you can to test again, I'm thinking Wednesday if my AF hasn't come by then xx

user090909 · 27/06/2021 08:13

Hi there
I wondered if anyone can see a faint line here?
We dtd 11 days ago and this is frer with first urine. Because I had a miscarriage in January I have had issues with bleeding between periods since then although my cycle for last two months has started always on 27th. So I'm a bit confused - is this a v faint line / not at all? Does that mean I'm definitely not pregnant or am I testing too early ?

@rathernotshare thanks!! DH has said he thinks it's a indent line I'm not sure if FRER are well known for indent lines but will test in a few days and hope for a more visible line 🤞🏽

rathernotshare · 26/06/2021 21:21

@mummytoolive I can definitely see it!

mummytoolive · 26/06/2021 21:03

@HereIfYouNeedMe Thanks for replying🤞🏽 I'm 9/10 dpo, getting some more tests delivered Tuesday so going to try not buy any and test again until then xx

HereIfYouNeedMe · 26/06/2021 20:57

@mummytoolive I can see it 😀

mummytoolive · 26/06/2021 20:54

How did this turn out? I've had this on an FRER today. Convinced I can see a like but DH can't.

@Thisriveriswild as @Hdujsjdjdbru, ideally you'd wait until AF is overdue. But it depends if you can handle BFNs or not. Some love to test every day starting 9dpo, others get even more anxious with every BFN that you'd most certainly see at that point. That's up to you :) The later you test, the more accurate your result will be.
The reason why many will get a BFN at 10dpo is because most will have implantation at 9dpo. But others won't have implantation before 12dpo, and they won't get a BFP before 14dpo. Everyone is different.

Hdujsjdjdbru · 06/06/2021 21:43

@Thisriveriswild if you can hold out until 10dpo and use the frer that would be good! I had also had a vvv faint line on a cheapie one step one too but nothing on either at 9dpo. But equally, lots of people might not get a positive then either still until a few days later. I mean ideally you'd wait until after your period is due to test but we all know that's hard 🤣
