I have read peeonastick.com, multiple blogs and message boards and it seems to be pretty evenly split on which are more sensitive. But I also wonder how many of these women were aware of their actual DPO.
My nurse says they are all the same, but surely all the hub-bub about FRER's is just a bunch of bologna....or is it?
Re: FRER v. Brand x.
Last cycle, my Wondfos were more sensitive than the FRER, but both picked up the pregnancy.
Until I win the lotto, FRERs are a luxury for me. I will not buy another 2 for $15 when the Wondfos and the dollar store variety are equally as sensitive. My RE even said he has been amazed at how sensitive the HPTs in general are.

I have to say wondfo's win it for me because of cheapness factor and early detection. I usually test with wondfo first, and then follow up with frer if it's +. But this last cycle my wondfo was + at 9dpo and at 10 my beta was only 11, so it was probably even lower the day before. And it was a pretty clear positive.
Right now I'm testing down my hcg, I'm still getting + on wondfo's and I have to guess I'm only in the single digit beta range at this point, so those things are damn sensitive, a blessing and a curse.

Check out Amazon, super cheap. I've found you can get the occasional evaporation line but it's rare to get two in a row and since they're so cheap you can test away..
