IC = Internet Cheapie....non brand specific.

In answer to your question, I would say it would depend on the sensitivity of the IC. I always buy 10MIU...the most sensitive you can get, and arguably, just as, if not more sensitive than FRER which are technically 25MIU. However FRER are renowned for being more sensitive than that, and will probably show a line at the same dpo. In this case I would go for the IC and if I thog=ught there was something there, back it up with a FRER.

However if your IC's are 25MIU, then your FRER will probably show something first....if indeed it is there.

Good luck!
