Hi ladies, sorry for the constant posts. So today at 8dp5dt it's my OTD and the only test I had left was the one the hospital gave me and the line is nothing like I was getting yesterday on FRER.
I've spoken to the hospital and they don't do blood tests which I didn't know. The nurse is going to speak to someone since I sound so anxious and explain that todays test is faint then call me back.
Why am I not celebrating my BFP. Is there much of a difference between the nhs tests and frer? And could it be down to my test date being so early? cant seem to find anything online.
FRER tests are about 4 x more sensitive than other tests so thats why you see a much darker line on FRER. You are definitely pregnant, congratulations x

Thank you, I just didnt feel reassured and with no blood test I really dont want to spend christmas non stop testing. I thought I would be on top of the world today x
I totally understand why you are worried going through this, but from an outside point of view, those lines look 10/10. If you are still worried you can pay for the blood test, but I would try and relax and think positive thoughts. p.s congratulations 😀 XX
Thank you xx, ive just ordered loads of frer and clearblue digital 🙈. I purposely only bought enough to use up to yesterday amd now im online ordering batches. No blood test and waiting for weeks is torture x
Just a thought....are you reading the hospital test the right way around? It looks although the test line is darker than the control line which is what happens when hCG is high?! I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with this kind of test but double check. What brand is it?xx
It's got no make or instructions, just a real cheapy

I've just called them, she said they forgot to highlight that they are testing a week earlier due to xmas so it should be faint and that eveyone that has called today has said the same. I feel a bit better, and also got a million tests arriving tomorrow 🙈
Ha ha ha we've all been there!🙋🏼♀️ Nobody prepares you for the anxiety that comes with a BFP. Hopefully all will be well, good luck....fingers and toes crossed for you!xx
