Are FRER tests not good anymore?

I read a couple years ago when I was TTC #2 about them being bad for indents. I’ve done a couple this cycle TTC #3 and have some faint lines but I’m thinking they’re indents? Can anyone share their pictures of their FRER that were indents? I don’t want to get my hopes up 😔 these are mine. The one with the easy@home was today I’m 8/9dpo and the other one the day before.

This was mine. Had a blood test 2 hours after I took this and it was totally negative. (It might take a minute to show up as I think they review photos first now)

@PaperSheet wow that’s so clear as well! I’m so sorry that must have been heartbreaking to get that blood result 😔

@therandomUN that’s a very clear line too! Was it pink in person?

They used to be the cream of the crop. I don’t trust them either any more.

BFN this morning with fmu. That must have been an indent on the FRER!

I can see a faint line on both. I never had anything on FRERs come up straight away when not pregnant, and remember 8/9dpo is ridiculously early. Tomorrow you should have more clarity. It always takes strip tests a little while to catch up. This time round I got a BFP on a Boots early test at 9dpo (absolute squinter) and my One steps didn’t show until about 11dpo I think.

FRER/Boots indents are stark white and evaps on them only show after about a week. Good luck!
