Ept Is the best you can buy. My cousin's wife bought a Ept and she is 6 months pregnant right now.

I just read an article that said that even though FRE can detect 20 it gives more false negatives than most and only detects at 50%. They recommended Confirm and EPT which they said detects at 15%. The article said that of the hundreds of women who got a BFN with FRE half of them got a BFP with Confirm/EPT. I don't know thats just what I read.

Any of the "early" variety are more likely to give a false BFN. If you read the fine print on the box (of any brand that says you can test 3-4 days before a missed period), they all say that they detect pregnancy in only 50% of women at that time range... so it's not that the tests are inaccurate, but we're just being encouraged to test too dang early.

I have to agree 100% with you. I got many many BFNs on FRE, only to go buy an EPT or Confirm and get a BFP, no doubt. Also, Confirm does not have an evaporation line, so you can read the test the next day, just the same as when you first took it. It is also the cheapest on the shelf around here at $8. I used the keepsake "heart" that they put in there for each of the boy's baby books! I did get a BFP with FRE at 8dpo with my second ds, but with #3, I never got a BFP with FRE? Strange...
