Which pg tests are more sensitive?

(and no I'm not hinting that I have any good news..)

Are digitals more sensitive than FRER's? Someone told me that digitals were more sensitive--- but I always thought that FRER were...
I don't have any and at this point will be sticking to the FRER's that I have if I decide to test again before the beta... but just curious. TIA!

Ok, thanks. That's what I thought- this person was pretty forceful that digitals are the most sensitive, but I really didn't think so... lol.Chat Icon

Stick with the FRER! Have you been on peeonastick.com? Its a great website for obsessing about POAS. Also gives you the sensitivity of HPTs.

I got a BFP with a digital before it showed up on a FRER. Not sure which one is technically the most sensitive though.

Re: Which pg tests are more sensitive?

I got my first positives with FRER and Answer. My digital didn't say Pregnant until after my beta came back. Good LuckChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETA: The first few the line was very very very very light....you had to look at it a certain way. I kind of knew it was a line because after all those years of - tests I had never ever seen any sort of line so I kind of knew.

Definately FRER and actually my very first BFP (at 4dp5dt) was on one of those internet cheapie tests (the little litmus-type tests).

Re: Which pg tests are more sensitive?

FRER requires less of the pregnancy hormone, therefore allowing a woman to get a BFP sooner. The digitals require MORE of the pregnancy hormone, and therefore, do not always give a BFP right away. HTH Chat Icon
