Sensitivity of pregnancy tests

AF was due on Friday and still no sign. Been getting negative tests so far. I took an IC this morning and think I can see a very faint pink line which came up within a couple of minutes. I still have fmu so tried a First Response (not FRER) and I think I can see the very faintest of lines on there. I've got some FRERs due to arrive today but they're not here yet. The only other test I have in is a Clearblue digital but am I right in assuming that won't show up positive yet if the others are so faint? Am I best to wait for the FRERs to arrive and use the digital in a couple of days if AF hasn't arrived?

Yes, definitely wait until the FRERs arrive. The CB digital tests aren’t very sensitive. Good luck!

I was also due on Friday. Still nothing. I have taken a cheapo test but I didn't even get the faintest line. I got some FRERS from Amazon and they arrived today. I am thinking of holding on a few days but have 2 so not sure if I can wait now they are here. Where have you ordered your tests from? Have you had any other symptoms? Sorry I am super nosey. Keeping everything crossed for you.

I've ordered mine from Amazon too, says they will be here by 9pm. I know I should hold off until the morning at least but I also know I won't be able to resist doing one when they arrive too 🙈 No real symptoms other than tiredness, but I've also been stupidly busy at work so it could be that. Have you had any other symptoms?

@Crazymummyto3 unfortunately no. Last month I had sore breast and felt a little sick. I couldn't test during the week as we were visiting family but had the worst period on our last day, I had got my hopes up too. This month nothing really. Lots of cramping, feel like I am on my period but no bleeding. I am trying to be realistic. Will test on Thursday morning. Did you manage to hold on or did you take it as soon an they arrived?

I was good and managed to hold off!

@Crazymummyto3 how did it go? I had a BFN this morning but still no period?

AF arrived for me this morning ☹️ Good luck to you 🤞
