I’ve had two back to back chemical pregnancies. Both were positive at 8dpo, as well as on the first day of my missed period on a FRER; however the strips gave me a shadow but not ever a line. Next time, would you still test using FRER or strips only?

Question

My thinking is at least if it’s registering on the strips, it’s a greater amount of HCG; whereas FRER picks up a much lower threshold.

Answer

I’ve had same. One true chemical confirmed by blood and one I’m not sure of. I feel like it was the frer test issues, but they did darken and then never got more. And period same normal time. So I’m not sure. I won’t be using frer, at least not until a lot later dpo.

Answer

I’m sticking with strips this month.  If I get a decent positive, then I’ll take an frer to show SO
