Hello,
I wanted to ask what Pregnancy test is the best?? I am not sure what is going on with my cycle and am looking to test soon. I am not sure which one is best to try. I have 1 FRER line, 1FRER digi, and 1 CBE digi.
Please any thoughts??

I hear the FRER is the way to go, and I'd try the regular one before the digital. I'm not sure how dark the line has to be for the digital to read it as positive, but your eyes will be able to pick up a faint positive. I looked at your chart (looks good!); is AF late yet?

Well If you go by my LP she was do today. But I don't think she will be her till Sunday. I had some spotting yesterday and the day before but, nothing today.
So, I will hold out till Mother's Day and see how my temps go. If everything is still looking the same I will test. ;)

Definitely use the FRER. It has always shown the darkest lines for me, much sooner than any other brands.


Whenever I tested I would pee in a cup so I could use multiple tests with the same FMU, in case I got a faint line. It turned out to be a good idea because when I finally got my BFP with FRER the line was pretty faint, so I was able to also test with the FRER digital right away instead of holding my pee and waiting 4 more hours before I could know whether or not I was really pg. It felt so

I'm just curious (since I'm newly obsessed about testing), does anyone have any input on the test strips from Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com?


I bought a bunch because I figured I could go crazy on testing and it wouldn't cost me a fortune, but I haven't seen any posts about them.

I use their pregnancy and ovulation tests and I haven't had any problem with them at all.


Only thing to note about the ovulation tests is that they never really get quite as dark as they are supposed to, so if you're line is ALMOST as dark as the control line I would count that. If you check the reviews on their site

Both that you have are good. I would use the line test first. Also CBE digitals read at 25miu/ml of hcg. My CBE digital showed up pregnant and I had a blood test done that day and my level was 26. $Streis also good I got a super faint line at 9dpo with that so my levels were less than 26 with that one. Good luck ! Hoping to see you on the January EC Board !
