New FRER Tests Unreliable

I find the new tests on Amazon as not as reliable as the previous ones. These ones have a quite high obvious indent which isn’t great for people testing early and waning to know quite early on.

What is your experiences with these tests as of recently?

Not had an issue with them. They have never left anything behind when its negative. The one time i thought they were leaving me false positives is when I actually was having a chemical pregnancy which was confirmed with blood tests. I honestly dont use any other test. In my own opinion, you cant get anything better then a first response especially if your testing early.

@Miraclemuma03 Thanks for responding. I’ve found which I likely shouldn’t be doing, when shining a light through it, there’s a line. With their older tests, win when doing this, nothing would be there.

Oh lol. I guess what your seeing is the ink spot that would highlight when detecting the hcg in urine. I think if you cant physically see a positive line with the naked eye its usually negative and best to wait until a missed period to be sure.
