FRER Unavailable?

[Countingdays]

Has anyone noticed that you can't actually buy FRER in boots / Superdrug anymore? Haven't seen any in shops and unavailable online. Anyone know why that is?

@Countingdays I checked stock online for boots and I managed to find one kinda near me so I went and got it but it was the last one and literally one single test. I then looked in another store where it said they had them and there was none. Asides that I’ve not been able to find them anywhere!

I’ve just used 4 from Amazon and all had really indents so be aware if you order any 😅

@kalixxx so odd isn’t it! That’s what I’m afraid of - if for some reason they’re being phased out and Amazon will only stock what’s left over and therefore they’ll have indents. Such a shame because it must be one of those number 1 brands women turn to!

The last 3 packs of FRER I got I had to wrote to First Response because they all either had indents or invalid results - 6 tests.

Yes-they always have indents now. It’s better I’ve found to wait a couple of extra days and just use a boots test or a clearblue

I feel like I’m being silly. Looking back at my Flo app to my last two pregnancies (one sadly ended) first one I got a faint line on a FRER 23 days after first day of AF. Second 24. I don’t know how many DPO that is as this would have been 3 years ago and Flo doesn’t show anything apart from ‘pregnancy day’.

Anyway. Today would have technically been day 23 (AF fairly consistent every month) so 11DPO.

I have no breast pain which with AF I would usually have almost 7 days before. Boobs not lumpy either. Had horrific lower back pain lasting from 7-10DPO, no spotting.

Took the CB in the pic (will attach inverted in a separate post as it won’t let me do two). I know I’m going loopy and this is most likely a negative but I can’t help but think somethings there. I don’t ‘feel’ pregnant but I also don’t feel PMSy either. I still have watery CM and AF technically in 4 days.

Someone put me out of my misery!

Also refusing to order FRERs on Amazon because if I end up not pregnant then I’ll just feel stupid.

Inverted

That just feels like such a waste of money 😞
I used FRERs with previous pregnancies and loved them.

Eek I've just ordered a FRER off Amazon; hoping it's not dodgy 🤞

I can see that line quite clear, I think you are preggo

fingers crossed for you!!! 🤞🏻

@pinksheetss i don’t know. I took one this morning with FMU and it looks the same (last one was an evening one with 3h hold) so I’m thinking I just got a dodgy box with indents. I have a huge amount of one steps I bought off eBay and they’re stark white

@Countingdays any updates? Fingers crossed for you! X

I wondr if it's anything to do with every single test having an evap. 2 months I've been hit with nothing but evaps and last one had an line on it.. before I'd even peed on it

@kalixxx sorry that’s a terribly slow reply - totally forgot about the notification! It was nothing. Trying again this month - 2DPO. Let’s see what happens!

@MK85 Maybe!! But I would have expected clearblue to have disappeared a long time ago for that reason 😂

@Countingdays ahhh I’m sorry! Fingers crossed the tww flys by and this your cycle! I’m 8/9 DPO today, not so paitently waiting 😅

@kalixxx sorry just seen this! Any news? I’m only 6dpo today…
