Faint positives on FRER - negatives on CB and easy@home :(

Hi guys I'm desperate for some advice

I am 3 days late fore my period, I had a faint positive test two days apart on FRER tests. But negatives always on easy @ home and today with clear blue early detection. Im so stressed out as I dont know whats going on with my body. I'm suspecting a chemical but having all the pregnancy symptoms I usually have when pregnant (Lethargy, back pain, reflux).
I had a loss in January and this is my second cycle TTC. Has anyone had any experiences similar to this? Im mentally prepared for another loss if this is a chemical but just want AF to come and put me out my misery if thats the case 😞

Hi. I hope you realise that each test has different sensitivity levels. Some tests pick up HCG as low as 10miu and others 25miu.

It's possible that you ovulated later than expected and that it's still extremely early days.

Give it a couple of days and test again with FMU?

Good luck!

Hello thank you for responding, i checked my clear blue test again and I can see a line but again its as faint as the line I saw 3 days ago, I guess I'm just panicking thinking this is a chemical as there isnt a lot of line progression in the last few days. I will try again in a few days with FMU

Try not to drive yourself crazy over line progression. I don't know why but my tests never became very dark.. it made me spiral but at every scan, I could see my baby is big and ok! I'm now 20 weeks and I never even got the 3+ weeks on a digital test..

Definitely give it a day or two and test with first morning urine as it will have the highest concentration of HCG in it.

I tested positive on a clearblue early detection test, positive on the easy @ home tests but negative on the morrisons cheap tests.

By the following week it was positive on all three tests.

I hope you get the result you want!
