(but my experience with the FRERs in australia have been great)
I used to agree with you, but lately I've been getting funny things with the FRERs. Frequently (almost always, to be honest) the test strip is visible while the (BFN) test is wet (the time frame in which you're meant to look) and I have actually had one replaced because it gave me TWO test lines (ie 2 test lines plus the control, so 3 lines total!) and was actually a BFN. I have much less faith in them than I used to, but I agree that they are probably still the best of the commonly available ones here in Australia (for now), aside from the digis ($$$). Love the digis!!

N2L, 100% with you on avoiding any blue dye ones!!
