I'm not actively trying but not really preventing either just normally try and avoid the week midcycle but this month dtd cycle day 9 and 16 so don't no if my chances were quite high on them days. However due on my period next week and used internet cheapies they say 10miu yest n today got ever so faint lines I mean I nearly missed it till I looked again it come up within the 10 mins. But I don't quite believe them n think its just an evap or something cause they was that faint, so are FR more readable then the cheapies? And does anyone no how sensative they are?

Yes, I found that although the FR and cheapies gave a result around the same time, the lines on the FR were clearer. Same is true for superdrug non digital early test.
If you aren't due until next week, I'd give it till Monday and then do an FR. No point doing one in the meantime really as it will be too early for you to be able to trust a negative result.

I did an Internet cheapie two days before AF was due and got a very fuzzy line after a few minutes. I didn't believe it after TTC for so long! so I did another - fuzzy line. Went out and bought an FRER and got an instant, clear BFP.

Kat is right though. Early testing is unreliable and can be heart breaking. Wait a few more days.
