Hi can anybody recommend a decent brand? I don’t like IC due to it taking forever to get a decent line and I don’t trust FRER anymore after having two faint lines yesterday and today. I think they are just indents! Thanks 😊

Clear blue or FRER.

I wouldn’t buy online. Buy from a chemist so you know they’re 100% genuine.

Sexnotgender · 15/08/2020 18:09

Why don’t you believe the frers are lines? 2 indents are unlikely.

SunnySideUp2020 · 15/08/2020 18:15

Boots strips. Never had evap and showed my line as well as the frer at 11 dpo!!

userabcname · 15/08/2020 18:18

Frer are definitely not as reliable as they used to be. I quite like superdrug tests - I got my bfp with ds1 on those at 11dpo - or wait until you've missed a period and use cb digital (I know, I know- I'm a POAS addict too!).

mumof23188 · 15/08/2020 19:16

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Yes I’ve always used FRER but to many indents out there with them lately. I purchased mine from boots!

@Sexnotgender I just don’t feel confident with them. I’m sure one has a pink line but the other I’m not sure!

@SunnySideUp2020 fab, thank you. Will give those a try!

@KatnissK thank you! Never tried those. So hard to wait isn’t it, I can’t stop POAS 🤪

Can you post the pictures if you took them?

mumof23188 · 15/08/2020 20:14

@Sexnotgender I took loads 🙈 it’s hard to get today’s to show up In a picture. The singular is yesterdays. What do you think?

Really hard to get pictures I know!

Did the lines come up in the timeframe?

I’m pretty sure I can see a line on them.

mumof23188 · 15/08/2020 20:19

@Sexnotgender it is super hard. They are definitely clearer in person. Yes both within time frame. After a couple of minutes!

OP posts:
Sexnotgender · 15/08/2020 20:21

So definitely not evaps. Fingers crossed for you!

DustbinTimberlake · 15/08/2020 20:21

Shoutout for the Poundland/eBay cheapies! I found the ovulation and pregnancy ones worked fine. Then I treated myself to a Clearblue digital ones I’d got BFPs with the cheap strips so I could see the number of weeks

mumof23188 · 15/08/2020 20:38

@Sexnotgender no definitely not! Lines are still visible now too. Not sure if that means anything tho. Thank you ☺️

@DustbinTimberlake brill, thank you ☺️

Hard to tell... how many dpo are you?

mumof23188 · 16/08/2020 08:35

@SunnySideUp2020 they were taken at 11&12dpo. I’m 13dpo today!

Have you taken a test this morning?

mumof23188 · 16/08/2020 09:00

@Sexnotgender no i don’t have any tests! Will get some tomorrow if AF hasn’t shown! Not having any symptoms at all really this month.

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 16/08/2020 12:45

@mumof23188 i would expect the frer to show a better progression if it was positive...
But then again it might be a slower one.
Do one tomorrow and you will know for sure.
🤞

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 14:02

@SunnySideUp2020 I just tested! I don’t know what to think

Sexnotgender · 17/08/2020 14:42

That’s definitely a line. Guess you didn’t use FMU?

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 14:45

@Sexnotgender no! Took it around half one with about an hours hold! Was to impatient!

OP posts:
Sexnotgender · 17/08/2020 14:47

I’d say you’re pregnant. What cycle day are you on?

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 14:53

@Sexnotgender thank you 🤞. I’m CD28 today!

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 17/08/2020 15:04

You might have ovulated later than you think!
Take another one in two days with fmu just to confirm.
Tentative congrats 🥳

Rockabye3 · 17/08/2020 15:10

Hi girls, can I join this thread? I’m on 10dpo right now and symptom-free, but you know the ttc mind right? Couldn’t wait for the AF due date. Made a cheapie right now, so, not my FMU. Would you guys consider this as a good result or like evap?

mumof23188 · 17/08/2020 15:12

@SunnySideUp2020 thank you 🤞
@Sexnotgender is this a squinter too on a boots strip?
