Do frers give the definitive answer?

[VJONES1985]

Hi all, I'm 9/10 dpo today and considering getting a frer when we go shopping. However, I'm a bit anxious about it because if it's negative I will be heartbroken. Being so sensitive, I presume frers are usually right?

vjones. I'm 11pdo. AF will be here Friday I suspect. I don't think I'm pregnant because we only dtd 3 times this month. 3 days before Ov then the night before and the day itself. However, I just know. I've got all the AF symptoms and my cramps start about 7 days before so I know. Boo. Very glum…..
Just think if you do poas tonight and it's neg, you will only tell yourself that it was because you didn't use morning urine etc.
I know the urge though. Last month I got up at 1am and did it. Then kicked myself because it was neg and I couldn't get back to sleep!
Thinking of you!!

First response are no more sensitive than a lot of other much cheaper tests. You just need to look at the amount of hcg they measure. I do try and caution against early testing because it causes a lot of unhappiness, you tend to doubt the result either way and it's often more sensible to just wait a few days.

In reality, however, I always tested early at around 8/9dpo so understand that it's almost impossible to wait. I have to say though, I've only ever tested that early when I already knew I was pregnant so it was more confirmation. I only ever used ICs btw and with accuracy at 8/9dpo. I just made sure they were the most sensitive ones.
