Ok ladies: I am going to run out for one more batch of pregnancy tests (crazy I know) but I can't get it out of my head. I had a possible positive OR evaporation line last night (never got that b4) followed by a negative (same box) this morning and 2 negative Clearblue digitals. What I want to know before I run out is what brand test should I get.I will probably take one tonight and one tomorrow morning. So confused about what is going on cause I never had a line before and I feel like I was given false hope. I've been researching all day and have read mixed reviews about FRER and Equate. Please don't read and run....tell me what you would do in my situation! Lots of thanks!

I would go for a FRER. They seem to be the best from what people say (and my own experience). Good luck!

This tells you which brands are the most sensitive. I would use that as a guide.

gosh I think i was the only one to get a negative from the frer. I used the the clear blue normal and clear blue digi as well as a ew pound savers

the one i had was called predictor pregnancy test. and that showed up first time was a good reliable test for me. and wasn't too expensive. i think they charge way 2 much for pregnancy tests its shocking

I say First Response. NO QUESTION.

I got my BFP with DS at about 9dpo... and this time a day or two before my AF was due. This time I had tested with a dollar-store cheapy 3 days before, and thought it was negative. The second line showed up WAY later, so I confirmed with the FR.

I'd get a FRER they're pretty sensitive and you can count on the result you get.

I thought my first positive on my FRER was an evap...but it wasn't

From everything i've read FRER's should not get evaps. Even if you call the customer service number that's what they say.

P.S. I know theres been a few frer evaps, it's just really uncommon
