If you get a very faint line on hpt that's 25iu does it mean your hcg levels are higher then 25? Is that what it means?

Sorry for the weird question I was just curious because on some tests it's 25iu so you would think it would only come up with a positive if it's over 25iu?

If you get a very faint line it is probably around 25 iU (ie close to the detection limit) and unlikely to be significantly higher xx

Yeah, the closest thing is the Clearblue with weeks but that is a pile of arse IMHO!! Those things create so much stress for women with a recent BFP. xx

When I had my CP FRER showed a positive (not strong) and my hCG was 22. Hope that helps.

Ohh my sorry about your loss. That's answered my question though.. I thought it would only pick up a line over 25iu.. What does FRER test 25iu or 10iu? Xx

FRER is 6iu, which is why it is so sensitive. xx

Wow I didn't know that, I thought the lowest was 10iu.. I personally thought that test you shown me looked strong xx
