12 dpo and getting bfn on IC, had a few symptoms so far, is it worth me buying more expensive tests or am I wasting my money?
Please share your stories on IC vs FRER.
Thank you!

Mine came up on a FRER but not on an IC at the very early stages. Good luck Flowers

BabyB19 · 27/10/2019 20:02

Thank you @StrawberryGoo do you remember how many dpo when the FRER came up? X

I was 12dpo both times but I didn’t test before that. Negative on ICs x

I did post on here earlier but for some reason it hasnt come up.

I did two IC's that showed a very faint line and then confirmed it with a FRER. I didnt get a darker like on an IC until 2 days after AF was due.

Personally i didnt want to use a FRER until either I saw a line on the IC or my AF was late.

I’ve just been googling how sensitive these tests are, apparently

Frer- 6.5 mIU/m
Clear blue early detection 10
Clear blue normal 22
My IC’s are also 10

I posted on the line squinters board. Here is a Wondfo, a FRER and easy@home. V impressed with easy@home...

Thank you @Wishing56 and @Rara87
I just don't want to start wasting proper money on tests but I'm not getting anything on the ICs so they're either dodgy or it's not my month!

How many dpo are these? @CL1982

@BabyB19 at 9DPO :) All are much darker today.

Rara87 · 27/10/2019 20:34

Yes I feel you! Done 3 clear blues aswell as the IC’s. Definitely not buying any more from now on (we’ll fingers crossed there won’t be any need). The IC’s are just so cheap I find it hard to trust them lol

This was my IC vs FRER using same wee. I was 9dpo
