I would wait until af is due before you use a digital. I got positives on frers for 6 days before it showed positive on a clear blue digital. Congratulations on your bfp xx

The clearblue with weeks is the most sensitive digi, it starts at 10mIU for a preg 1-2. I've had a pos on it with barely visible lines on frer. If ur gonna go digi, go with that one.
Good luck! =))

Clear Blue w/weeks is what I used. I got a faint but definite positive on FRER with FMU around 11 dpo, and a not pregnant on CB digital with the same sample, but tested again that evening and 1-2 weeks.

The Clearblue Advanced Digital with weeks estimator *can* read positive at 10miu but doesn't reliably read positive till 15miu oh hCG.

If you look up the FDA decision summary on the First Response Gold Digital you'll see that it reads positive at erratic levels. It *can* read positive at as low as 6.0-6.6miu but won't reliably read positive till closer to 13miu of hCG.

I would say, based off my research, that those are the best digitals for testing when you have lower hCG levels. Once your hCG levels get to the 25-50 range it doesn't really matter which digital you use.
