Which should I trust? So I bought a different brand of LH test strips and I thought I would compare the two. Both strip used at the same time but one looks positive and the other negative ... not sure which I should trust or use in future? Should I test again later this evening?

The fainter line says 20mlU/mL and the darker line is 25mlU/mL

Yeah I would have said opposite too. Just go for it for the next few days 🤷‍♀️🤞 xx

I was also going to ask if they are the same sensitivity - LH tests are similar to pregnancy tests in that some are more sensitive than others

The fainter line says 20mlU/mL and the darker line is 25mlU/mL which is the opposite to what I would have thought haha

I trust easy at home over all the strips even over the clear blue digital. I would have missed my surge if I relied on the other lh strips. Honestly easy at home is the best. I normally get a positive on it a day before the clear blue digital. I will trust the easy at home.
