Horrible indents and false positives
I've had several false positive FRERs now, and had one yesterday that was actually pink. Had blood test and am 100% not pregnant. Not sure what's going on with FRER but I won't be buying them again.

Perfect! 100% accurate results
I Highly recommend this product. Easy to use as the instructions were clear. Tested early in a day and the results are quicker than the specified time and clear lines.

False-positive!
I bought a package and had faint positives over 2 days. Changed to a different package as the first ran out and NO positives just WHITE. So disappointed and in disbelieve, a waste of money!

Faulty Tests!
FRER use to be number one on the market!! Not sure why they are giving false positives. I bought a pack of 6+1 ...( trying to conceive later down the track) I know I'm not pregnant as I'm not trying but just wanted to try them out after hearing from a friend she had a false positive? And to my surprise I had a faint positive within 1 minute?! I then used clear blue and it was negative! Did the same thing the next day. FRER giving False positives. So far I've found 3 out of the 7 pack had faint PINK lines. Usually indent/evap lines are Grey in colour. The fact it was pink threw me completely off!

False results
I have used this product about 3-4 times, it never says I am pregnant when I really was and HCG levels were clearly rising. Waste of money. And it's so expensive when you buy it, you expect it to give atleast true results. It's better to use the other pregnancy tests which are more reliable and accurate.

Waste of money.
I have used this product about 50 times, over three months because they continuously give u a positive result and then I’ll get my period... I this time I actually went to the doctor and took the 4 tests in they done blood work and nope not pregnant. Seriously at the price you charge you should be more reliable people are hoping so bad for a baby and these tests just give them false sense of hope!

Early Detection at 10dpo
I have used these products 5 times currently. Twice to confirm I was not pregnant, and three times to confirm that I was pregnant, and each time, they were correct.
I used mine at 10dpo, and the second line literally appeared with the control line. Thinking it might be false positive as many people have indicated on here, I decided to try again the next day, it appeared even darker, and used 2 other different brands. Both were positive.
I hope that they resolved their false positive problem, as these tests are not cheap, and making us buy another test to confirm against this to ensure we are not celebrating too early.
But for other ladies, this has worked for me and I am hoping their newer batches don't have this issue.

False result. Positives and negatives
Did 10 tests in total! 1 x 3 pack & 1 x 7 pack. Only to get an array of different results. Some had shadows/indent/white lines, 1 had a (faint but clear) positive line followed by many that had more shadows or absolutely no second line. I’m feeling deflated and absolutely devastated that it has let me down along with my husband who was excited after announcing to him that I got a positive result. So so so cruel. A total waste of my money and emotions. such a joke!

False positive
72 hours of hell.
After taking 4 normal wee tests which all came up negative a friend suggested - a digital test by first response as they were more sensitive. I took it. It came up yes. 48 hours of anxiety attacks and I found out I wasn’t even pregnant by bloods. This test gave me a false negative! Not to be trusted! Imagine if I was trying and I got my hopes up! Looks like I’m not the only one alone, recall your product before you ruin more lives.

Indent lines and a false positive!
Indent line is too obvious and I actually got a light pink second line on one test and then got my period. Won’t be buying them again as I can’t trust them now.

Miscarriage
Reliable
Digital is better in my opinion as you don't need to worry about is there really a line there or am I crazy . Both first response tests detected our early miscarriage. Clear blues did also but they were not as reliable

super early detection
I test earlier like 7-9DPO with cheaper tests like fertility2family I buy in bulk cause I am a poas addict and when I am closer or if I get a faint line on them I use FRER just to double check. I have never had an indent or false positive with either brand . I have no idea why FRER test is getting such bad reviews.

Horrible! Devastated
This is the second month in a row, this has shown false positives. I was so convinced that I had blood work done, and it was negative. So I’m spending around $100 on these damn hpts, go to the clinic to confirm, spend another $135 only to be left devastated and an absolute wreck. Been trying for 7 months now and I’m just utterly disappointed in this brand. Will never use again

Multiple False Positives!!
Very unsatisfied! Husband and I are trying to convince and were so elated to see the multiple positives in the last 2 weeks! I was so excited to show him the first one and we were overjoyed. Then seeing more thought many days show positive we were convinced. But upon seeing the dr and finding out that were not pregnant I'm just disgusted! I bout multiple packs from different locations including Walmart, Albertsons, and Amazon some two packs and some 3 packs. Total I took about 14-16 tests over a two week period and all except 4 showed a positiv...Read more
e result within the 3 min time frame. This test used to be my go to test. It showed me a positive right away with my first two pregnancies and I always recommend them, but now trying for a third I'm telling everyone to not wait your money! I have spent at least $100 on these tests this month and am left devastated switching brands for the months to come.Purchased in July 2021.

Would give it a zero if I could
Had a false positive. Hurt, emotional and a wreck right now. I have been trying for a year plus and shocked at how common false positives are with this brand. Do not recommend to anyone!

Don't work!
I got a three pack and have used two tests out of it. Absolutely nothing came up on them. I know how to use them because I've used a lot before and I've had a kid. But honestly don't waste your money.

Questions & Answers
Jackieasked
Why do your tests keep showing a second grey line? This happens all the time on my tests with First Response. It gives false hope and is incredibly misleading. Your tests used to be accurate with no trace of a second line if they were negative. I believe you do this to mislead customers so they will buy more of your dodgy tests. FIX YOUR TESTS.

Megan lasked
I’m beginning to notice some symptoms like missed period, mild cramps, nausea, tiredness. I took a first response test and to my surprise a light pink line showed up. Seeming though I’m only 16 I want some advice before telling my mum and causing myself some trouble. I’ve read many have had trouble with False positives so has anyone had any accurate results from this first response test?
2 answers
First response is my usual go to, though lately l have had a lot of evap lines, if its clearly pink odds are you are pregnant.
l googled indent and evap lines pics for first response l found the pics accurate for what my evaps and indents looked like.
Clear as day pink (it doesnt have to match the control line) most of the time means pregnant.
Thats how it was with my pregnancies.
Good luck, l hope all goes well.
I’ve seen and researched the difference in lines and it isn’t a faint line it’s just really light pink and definitely isn’t an indent or evaporation. So I can’t help but assume it’s a positive result. I’m going to buy a few different branded tests tomorrow. I took the first response during the day and had already drank loads hence why i think not much hcg was detected. Very scary situation but I hope for the best x
