Negative FRER but faint line on cheapies?

I’m 11dpo today and this morning I did FRER and an easy@home. Both were using the same FMU. Deffo a like on the easy@home but camera struggling to pick it up!

The easy@home showed a vvvfl (it also showed a vvvfl yesterday at about 4.30pm 10dpo).

Could the easy@home be wrong? More sensitive?

Are there any other tests I can try?

I’m from the UK if that makes a difference and Amazon is the only place you can get the FRER - I don’t believe they sell it in drugstores around here so can’t speak on their legitimacy but nothing seems amiss!

(Mumsnet really squashes photo quality on here!)

I can see the line on your first photo but not the second. In my experience the FRER are the most sensitive but I’ve never used the easy@home HCG tests just their LH ones.

I buy my FRER on Amazon too and not had any problems with them.

My second pregnancy showed on Easy@Home before it did on FRERs. E@H are highly sensitive if you get a good batch.

With my fifth pregnancy I got a dreadful batch and thought I wasn't pregnant until I bought a ClearBlue to double check and got a strong blue line.

I've never had a false positive or evap on E@H though.

Ah ok! Thank you

Not sure if this pic is any better.. bottom one is 11dpo am! Vvvvfl! Taking these as BFN until I can confirm on a digital!

Super useful to know! The e@h batch seems decent enough (opk / pregnancy test box) but this is my first cycle ttc so have no comparison!

Will wait for my CB 6 day early digital tomorrow and see what happens!

Thank you xx

I can see the lines on easy at home especially the set of three. It's still early. Good luck tomorrow though.

I've posted this elsewhere but just fyi I got what I am sure is an awful evap on frer at 12 DP. See pic below..,

Annoying! I don't really know anything about evap lines or what they look like! I've gone off FRER too. I read that if you take biotin, it shows up on those tests as negative (I think FRER use it as part of their process somewhere).

Have you tried another test?

Just an update in case anyone happens to find this thread! This is the CB 6 day early digital test

Congratulations from mee too.

This unfortunately ended in a chemical. I do think my FRER were negative because of biotin but something to keep in mind ❤️

Ahhhh, so sorry to hear that! It will happen, just wish we knew when!
