Guess what, we should officially start using CBE digis. I just got my beta back from this morning, when I barely had a discernable line on a FRER (and a positive digi) and my beta was 10. Those suckers are sensitive! Maybe a little more money, but I am liking not having to study the sticks  Just thought you all might want to know that little tidbit.

I am no longer using FRERs either. I'm answer and CBE digis now. I think the next tests I get will be CBEs. That's sensitive indeed.

I know my CBE digi said pregnant when my beta was 24. I like their digi OPK's too. No guessing if it's positive or not and when I found out I was pg, the OPK gave me a smiley too

Thanks, Shanise. I wouldn't have thought to do that. One of my tests from a three-pack I used last cycle was faulty -- I posted about it here -- and I never would have thought to complain. I still have the box lying around, so I was able to provide all the info. Cool

I'll still use FRER's ...I got a pink line on an answer test last cycle, so I don't trust them either...I also had a line on a FRER, which was a super deep indent line, but that was just one test...I am at the point where I don't trust anything really...I do like CB diggy's, but I also like looking at lines (it's so fun)...So for now i'll stick with FRER's, and I might even buy a pack of Answers (even though FRER's are cheaper with a coupon)...I'm actually holding out and not buying any tests because I used like 9 FRER's, an answer, a diggy and a bunch of cheap tests last month...I used almost my whole stash!!!

You all were way ahead of me!! Here I thought I had news But yeah, I am over FRER. I am totally going to do that FRER thing. I hate that I have had several indents lately. And when I use them, you can see this white "line" while the pee crosses where the positive should be. That makes me nervous, like they were bad before I ever peed on them. But anyway, yeah. CBE digis are gonna be what I stick with (and Answer). Hopefully I won't need any more (as of a week from now...for a few years)!!

I took a CBD and it said NOT PREGNANT. THe Answer and FRER digital all said yes.
I had to wait a couple days for the CDB to come around.

That happened to me in my last pregnancy Lindsey! I do have to say that I did get a positive diggy at 9 dpo in the pregnancy before that...I guess it just depends on how much HCG, and every pregnancy is different ....I'll just stick with all of them and hopefully one will work one of these days! lol

After the past week, I'm not a fan of frer at all. I ultimately had a blood test BFN, but for 5 days before that I was getting all kinds of lines on the frer (grey evaps, light pink, orangy pink, no line, etc.). I thought it might have been a super early chemical pg because of the light pinks, but md said I hadn't been pg at all.

^I agree. I think they are getting ridiculous. I have to admit I don't really like the answer ones either though, they show their lines soooo slow. It is so sad that FRER changed their formulation. They used to be good.

They have always been reliable for me. The tests I had though, the second line had to be darker than the control in order for it to be positive. A second line alone wasn't enough.
