Does anyone know?--Updated!!

Is there a difference between the FRER early result and the FRER rapid result test as far as sensitivity goes? Leave me a comment if you know or know of somewhere I can go to find out OK?

I know that on http://www.peeonastick.com/ they have ?? for the rapid result and I think 12.5 for the early result test, but that site hasn't been updated for a while....

UPDATE: I read the package inserts....
The First Response Rapid Result says 'test accurate as early as the first day of your missed period'...nothing about testing early....

The First Response Early Result test says "test as early as 4 days before your missed period" and "our most accurate test"

Now, based on those answers (found in the FAQ Section of the package insert) I would say they DO have different sensitivities. I searched some online as well and found that there are charts that list the tests separately...and list --
First response early result: 20
First response (not specified but on the same list) 100

Hmm, makes me want to retest right now. Andrew says no...wait till morning...the worst that could happen is the same result...the good thing if it's positive, the line will be a little darker...

He's got a point

Tracy: I took a FRER and had a positive, a light line but definately a positive. I think I was 5 days before a missed period. And I had blood work that every day and my HCG was only 10!!!!!! So it picked it up below their cut off. I used FMU.
