Anyone try this? It is supposed to test the quality of your eggs. I tried it this morning (I had one that came free with my FRER tests and it gave me an excuse to pee on something ) I was a little concerned with the results- for this test the test line is supposed to be lighter than the control line or not there at all. Mine was as dark as the test line which could mean a problem Am I freaking myself out? I know I am older (I'm 37) but yeesh

I'm only 26 and my line was almost as dark as the control. I wouldn't put much stock in it. If you're ovulating each month, I think that's a pretty good sign you have reserves. And from last month's chart, it looks like you're ovulating regularly.

I tried the test last April (on Easter actually - Ha, funny I remember that), as it came free in the FRER box. You're supposed to use it on day 2 or 3 of your cycle, right? My line showed up lwaay lighter than the control line... but to be completely honest, I don't know how accurate those tests are. And to be EVEN MORE honest, FRERs suck, so I don't know how much I would trust their tests.

If it's something you're concerned about, you can always have bloodwork done. I'd trust that so much more any day. Plus, you're a regular girl, if I recall all your charts, so I wouldn't be concerned.

Thanks guys. I was kind of dubious about the results- apparently it measures the amount of FSH on day 3 of your cycle, and if the level is elevated it could mean that your body is working harder to mature quality eggs- but you're right- my cycles are very regular and in the 3 years I've been charting I've only had maybe 2 that were anovulatory. Thank you for making me feel better. KNEW I shouldn't have trusted FRER

I tried it and mine was visible but light, but like the others said, I wouldn't put a ton of stock in it. It has to do with the time you poas, when in your cycle, and so many other variables it could have a hard time measuring. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you are, ask your doctor about it. if your cycles are regular and you ovulate every month, you should be fine.

I know this thread is over a week old but I just wanted to add that regular cycles have nothing to do with high FSH. A lot of girls with high fsh ovulate on their own and have regular cycle. I'm concerned about this too as my tests line was as dark as the control line
