I would suggest retesting. I know that everyone has their own personal opinion on which HPT is more sensitive or better, and mine is not to trust the First Response Early. (where you can test up to 3 days before you're due to start AF) The 1st cycle that we attempted to get pregnant I used the FRE and got a +, but a - w/my 'prefered brand'. It was a false + w/FRE. (it was dark AND came up in less than 2mins) The next cycle is the one I got preg. on and FRE gave me a - at 10DPO, 14DPO and 19DPO, where as my 'preferred brand' gave me a + at 10DPO. My point is you definately could be, so retest!! >Diane
