    I've had false positives in the past on FRER hpts. FX for you that the digital is wrong (which is possible if HCG levels aren't very high yet).

    Thank you all for your replies. Ive now had 3 very faint FR tests but have also started bleeding so I assume I either wasn't pregnant or something wasn't right and I'm not anymore. Hoping to god its not ectopic as this is what happened then and gradually the line got darker and darker after I started bleeding. I guess my BT results will confirm if I ever was or not. Thanks again

    I've been getting faint lines (squinters) on the FRER during BFN cycles for some time now. I can't think of the last time I didn't see a faint second line on one of those tests! Sorry to say, I'd take the digi result as more reliable than a faint line on a FRER. However, if you had a clear/strong line on a FRER, that would be a different story.

    As mentioned above, it's the digis are supposed to be less sensitive, but I had the old style ones (without conception indicator) pick up hcg levels lower than the documented sensitivity.

    I'm sorry to hear you have started bleeding. I hope it's not an ectopic as you fear.
