Hi guys, I wondered what people's experiences with the freedom test strips are please? I have done a couple which have come up with very very faint lines (see pic) but looked online and read that they are known to give out false positives, so I got 2 different cheapie tests from my local pharmacy and they were both negative, all 3 brands supposedly have a sensitivity of 25ml, what do we all think?

Thank you for any responses, it's really appreciated

I can see a faint line there but not sure if it's an indent as it doesn't look like it reaches the bottom?
How many DPO are you OP? Good luck! 😄🤞 I can't wait to have even the faintest line pop up lol

@Dreamer30 I'm not sure how many dpo I am tbh, I had nexplanon implant removed on the 18th Jan and I have only had one normal period since having it out, here is a picture of another freedom test strip

Don’t get your hopes too high but that looks positive to me !

That's how mine started out,

I tested every 2nd day for a week ,took 4 days after a test that looked like that for the second line to be very pink.

I never had much luck with strong lines on FRERs ,currently 27 weeks .

JellyTot30 · 10/04/2021 12:57

@Troyhelena do you think? I'm just confused because I did these 2 today and both negative but al claim to have the same sensitivity as the little freedom strip ones I did yesterday (pic is of the 2 I did today with negative results)

I have never used the ones in the second pic but I have used the first ones and my first line looked like that.
How many dpo are you?

Dolly3092 · 10/04/2021 13:04

@Troyhelena the ones in the second pic are just cheapies from the pharmacy, I grabbed them because I heard a lot of people say they got false negatives with the test strips in the first pic, but I took 4 of those tests and they all have faint second lines but then like I said 2 negatives this morning using fmu, I'm not sure how many dpo I am as I had nexplanon implant removed on 18th Jan and only had 1 normal period since having it out

Dolly3092 · 10/04/2021 13:04

False positives** I meant not negatives

Dolly3092 · 10/04/2021 13:07

@toto23 did you try any other tests when you had faint lines like mine? If so, were they bfn or bfp? Because I did 2 different brands today with fmu and both bfn

toto23 · 10/04/2021 13:37

@Dolly3092
I didn't use anything else.

I waited a week and used a clear blue digital. I'm not sure of my dates or how many DPO as it was the one month I wasn't tracking .

This is how faint my test was when I first tested.

See I just really don't think I am because of the 2 negatives this morning with fmu, I got so excited :(
