Hi ladies. I'll be testing soon and wondered which are best? I keep hearing bad things about the clear blue ones xx (I'd like the early ones)

None are any more/ less reliable than any other. They all meet the same manufacturing and testing standards.

Two factors to consider are the colour of the dye used - blue is easier to mistake with an evap line, so lots of people prefer pink. The other factor is the hormone concentration they will detect FRER are one if the lowest, clearblue digital are one of the higher ones.

First response early result are the most sensitive and easy to read. I’ve used them with both pregnancies and there was never any uncertainty.

FRER were the best for me. I could always convince myself of a line on any others.

Yes frer are considered the best with regards to sensitivity and easy reading. You can get them from Amazon.

If you think you'll need lots the the "internet cheapy" one steps are good, it's about £3.50 for 10 from Amazon. Personally I use those, then once I have a line on those I use a free, then a couple of days later a clear blue digital. There's no mistaking a positive on a clear blue digital, but they aren't very sensitive.

@Wellthisunexpected - thanks! That's a really good system. I'm off to buy some frer from boots (apparently) this morning so I have some in xx

Don’t be fooled by ICs though. For some reason, my line took weeks on my 10mul cheapies and FRER showed first.
