XP: dumb pee stick question

[ElizabethBennet]

There are some that are more sensitive than others. I think the digitals are actually less sensitive than the FRERs

[EmilieMadison]

Nope. Not all test are created equal. The Dollar Store tests are actually some of the most sensitive ones. Digital are less sensitive than FRER.

There is a quantitative difference between some of them. Depends on the brand. There was a website that talked about which ones measured what but I think it's gone now, or it was down the other day anyway. FRER is the most sensitive I've seen.

Peeonastick.com has the sensitivities listed I think, but I don't know how up to date it is

Like the super crappy small plastic sticks with the dropper ones?

Yep!

Yep. Every BFP I've ever had was one one of these a day or two before it showed up on a FRER.

I am almost positive that digitals are less sensitive. I trust FRER the most.

And this time around I had a positive wondfo (bulk tests from amazon), positive clear blue easy digital, positive dollar store, and still a negative FRER. It was about two days behind. I view these things like a science experiment and had way too much fun. Lol

Lol I peed on all the things, too.

Wondfo was negative until 14dpo, FRER was a faint positive at 9dpo, digital at 12dpo (but didn't test earlier with one), Walgreens store brand negative until 12dpo.

With DS1, Wondfo, FRER and digital were all positive at 9dpo.

Inconsistent scientific results.

Lol, I do think FRER changed its sensitivity at some point. I don't think they are as sensitive as they used to be. I was reading the amazon reviews when I bought a few and it seemed like it wasn't the first positive for a lot of people. And I think there have been some bad batches of wondfo, but I got a pretty sensitive one.

Eta: this is what ten months of ttc does to you. Lol

I got good positives with dollar store tests (the dropper ones) when I was still getting bfns or baaaarely there lines with FRER.

[snickers]

I got a positive on one of these tests before a FRER:

Hope you get a positive soon!
