positive FRER but negative Digital??

ChristiKennon · February 2013

I had 3 positive FRER's on thursday (2/7) but when I took a clear blue digital, it came back negative or "not pregnant" I waited until today to take another one and it still said "not pregnant" but FRER still shows positive. My period was due 2/5 so I am 6 days late. Are the digital test that much less sensitive??

Yup, definitely far more sensitive. Wait another few days. Be sure to test with FMU.

apparently.

I never took one. I got positive cheapies (wondofos) and called it a day.

If you get a + hpt (pink dye) you are PG.

So I should of taken the cheapo ones? I took 3 digital and all said pregnant.

I got positive Wondfo and FRERs on Thursday and I didn't turn a digital positive until Friday morning. I'm sure you will see it soon

Actually digitals are a lot more sensitive than they used to be and are often pos the same day as a frer.

Id call your OB for a blood draw. It sounds like it may be a cp.

lol, you're also PG... the cheapo ones can be more sensitive.

no cheapo ones are more sensitive than frer.

they are pos at around 6miu's.

5 and under are considered neg.

I actually agree that it may be worth a call to your dr. Frer picks up at 25 and digital picks up around 50. 3 days after your first positive you should be able to pick up a positive on a digital. I personally hate digitals because while they should make things easier, I think they are more stressful.

I also think this warrants a call to your doctor. I would request an hcg draw to check your levels and a repeat draw 48 hours later to check for proper rising. There a lot of factors in play, but the blood draws should give you a better idea of what's going on.

To pp.... Its true that both frer and digitals are listed to test pos. at levels higher than what I posted, I posted that based on what comes back from blood work in correlation to when a frer/digital was taken.

They will give you a pos sooner than the company claims it will, they are just being 'safe' and conservative to cover their ass's.
