frer v superdrug

mummyzilla · Jan 21st, 2010, 02:12 AM

Ok so superdrug tests claim to be able to tell you up to 4 days before missed period and have a 10miu
but frer have a 25 miu and claim to tell you up to 6 days before

so how can a stick which has less sensitivity be able to pick up earlier than one with a stronger sensitivity??????

Did anyone get a positive with a frer but not a superdrug in the early stages before af due?

Hi there, when I was pregnant I never got a +ve with FRER, so now I always use superdrug (although am yet to get that elusive +ve though lol)

superdrug are letting me down hahahaha!!!!!!!

I am going to have to wait, oh I hate them words!

My cycle ranges from 32-50 days although 50 has only happened once, the general cycle is 37 days, thats a loooong wait.
I'm on day 31 so far, I am symptom spotting like crayzy!
I feel queasy, sore throat, emotional (although think thats just over thinking this situation) lotion cm but still no sign bfp.Did test this morning and was neg.

((( Booooo! also very acute pains last 2 days in right side, and kind of pinching pain similar to what I felt when I discovered I was preg with my first although didnt notice that pain with first preg until after a bfp but first was unplanned.
My 2 ww is always a 3 ww!!!!

I'm 22dpo and my FRER this morning says

... I would usually start at around 12-13dpo... So, well and truly late. I'd like to believe that FRER's are broken at the moment. They probably aren't... but ya know! LOL

haha lets just live by that theory megg, I havent been on these boards for a while and didnt see you when I returned, hoped that you had your bfp and moved along to first trimester! Hey 22 days over, fingers crossed for you, my friend didnt get her bfp until 3 mths, needed bloods to confirm, have you spoke to doc about it? x

Megg33k · Jan 21st, 2010, 12:09 PM

Well, I *DID* have my BFP... but MMC in Dec... 10 days before Xmas! Isn't that just swell? Docs won't do anything until I've missed 2 periods... missing 1 just isn't good enough! *sighs*

I think Superdrug are good. I got a BFP at 9dpo with one. And lots of BFNs since, but I can guarantee I have never had an evap on them!
