False positives with First Response Gold Digital?

I was googling the sensitivity of this test and saw a few posts about people having false positives with this test.  Why do I google??  Anyone hear of this?  I thought digitals were less sensitive than line tests, but it seems like this particular test is more sensitive.

Re: False positives with First Response Gold Digital?

  •  It is more sensitive, something close to 18 mIU, I used it after I got a faint line on a FRER and it came up positive. I haven't read anything about false positives, I've heard of it with clear blue, but not FR, so I'm not any help, sorry!

  • I just took one a few hours ago and it was neg, but the Dollar Store one that i took this am had a faint line. I don't think those people actually got false negatives - look at peeonastick dot com for clarification.

    In my bag: Nikon D90; 35mm 1.8, 90mm 2.8 macro (my fave), Lensbaby Composer with macro extensions. BFP after 13 cycles and one ectopic. Lost left tube 5/19/10.
  • It can measure from 6 mIU so it is super sensitive.

    The only thing I can think of, if it was a chemical pregnancy it may have showed a positive but had been negative a few days later. A positive is a positive.

  • I did get a false positive with the FRGD the cycle before we started TTC. Was 2 days late on my 26 day cycle so I took a test and got a pos. Couldn't believe it since we were not yet trying, so I tested FOUR more times that day (on the second FRGD in the pack and a couple other line tests) got all negs on those. Took another the following morning with my fmu and got another neg. Don't know why/how that one test turned out pos, but it did and I clearly was not prenant at the time.

  • OH! And AF showed up later that evening, so the test the following morning was pretty unnecessary, but I did it anyway ;)
