I bought got these AFTER I O'd last cycle and tested with them (both LH and HPT) the rest of the cycle to see how well they worked. I had a probable chem preg and got faint BFPs on FRERs on 10 & 11 DPO. It doesn't concern me that the HPTs stayed BFN because I know FRER is probably just more sensitive than the ICs... what does make me question whether they they work or not is that given HCG and LG are so similar there should have been SOME kind of line, however light or dark, on the OPKs when I was getting BFPs on the FRER but the test couldn't have been any whiter if I had tested my tap water (not that I would.. just making a point). In fact, there was essentially no flux at all. So, I am worried I got a dud brand and I am trying to decide whether to shell out more $$ to buy more tests or ride it out and hope they do work. I hate to throw away $$ but I would also hate to waste my time testing with duds. So, I am hoping someone here might have used these before and might be able to share their experience. Any input is greatly appreciated! TIA!
ETA: I know clomid can cause false + on OPKs so I'll likely test with them after I start the clomid this cycle and if no line I will KNOW they are duds, but still curious if anyone has any experience with these.
