First response vs cheapies tests

I tested positive at 13dpo with first response early result and again at 15dpo with early and rapid result but the cheapies which are meant to be more sensitive than the FR rapid result only show faint lines when it should be a lot darker? Has anyone had the same issues?

In the picture, the top 2 are FR early result and the bottom 2 are FR early result and FR rapid result.

In my experience cheapies are a lot less sensitive. Congratulations

Dont compare different brands. Only compare lines on like for like xx

Same, I never got good lines on the cheapies until much later on.

@Mumma yes you're probably right. I have so few symptoms that the only way to put my mind at rest us to test!

Your lines are a lot darker than mine were at that stage and I’m now 9 weeks. I’d step away from the tests now, they just cause stress and anxiety and don’t tell you anything. Maybe look at booking an early scan at around 8 weeks if you can afford it. It’s such a relief to see that little heartbeat

@Twoinapod yes I will definitely book an early scan! I can't wait until week 12 🤦‍♀️😆
