Come on, people. Why mess with a good thing, right?! (Also, HI!)</p> <p>@HLK208: @LindsayLou: Ugh. So frustrating!</p> <p>@winniebee: Gosh, it really is so hard to tell!!!!</p> <p>@snowjewelz: Same here. I haven't seen them anywhere though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2464103 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:58:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2464103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, this makes me wanna go find the straight ones too and save them for later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2464076 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:46:20 +0000 winniebee 2464076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: two different tests yesterday and today (9dpo) </p> [attach=215/16/o2p299.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=215/16/o2p29a.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2464045 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 08:25:12 +0000 bushelandapeck 2464045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: let's see it! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463983 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 02:46:46 +0000 LindsayLou 2463983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan. It seems to take a long time for even the control line to show up. And it's still messy, curved handle or no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463977 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 01:57:08 +0000 HLK208 2463977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like them! I used it correctly and the control line barely showed up. And it happened again with the second test!</p> <p>I bought two other brands which were positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463938 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 00:09:20 +0000 Crystal 2463938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate hate hate. It's the dumbest design to put the indent right by where you'd look for a line! I want to scour the shelves to see if there are any straight ones left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463825 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:09:03 +0000 mfa_lady 2463825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I need to get some new cups! Haha. I ran out before DD was born and I haven't restocked.</p> <p>@Happygal: Bought some this morning! ;)</p> <p>@skipra: Super frustrating!</p> <p>@Purpledaisy: So true. The others were so nice and classic. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463818 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:04:32 +0000 winniebee 2463818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: Yes, same. I'm battling the "is it an indent, is it a line" thing as we speak :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463815 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:03:23 +0000 Purpledaisy 2463815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and plus, I just think that they look weird and ugly :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463814 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:02:37 +0000 Purpledaisy 2463814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just do not feel that the curved ones are as sensitive. I got a positive on a Wondfo AND a digital before getting a positive on the new FRER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463813 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:00:35 +0000 skipra 2463813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gotten a bad indent on one that it was totally obvious there was a line but I couldn't tell if it had color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463799 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:38:55 +0000 Happygal 2463799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: I pee in a cup as well b/c I get performance anxiety about making sure I hit the stick and gets messy. I used the curved one last time and the positive showed up very quickly. I think it did have a few indent marks like people have mentioned, but it didn't take away from the results for me!</p> <p>I like that you're asking about this. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463790 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:30:31 +0000 Raindrop 2463790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know they changed... I goggled it. :)</p> <p>Very interesting! </p> [attach=2890/16/o2o46v.600x151.how-to-use-early-result-image.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463763 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:14:22 +0000 artsyfartsy 2463763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got indents on two I took back to back which was really frustrating. I pee in a cup anyway so the curved design doesn't benefit me. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463752 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 20:00:25 +0000 mfa_lady 2463752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Boo.

These it was like the whole test had to saturate and then lines appeared </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463717 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:35:11 +0000 mfa_lady 2463717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: This is the kind of stuff I'd heard. And that they didn't darken with time as consistently as the old kind. Iiiiiinteresting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463713 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:33:16 +0000 gotkimchi 2463713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought the lines took a long time to show up (even the control line) and the lines weren't as dark and could be in weird places - not evenly spaced like the other ones. Also did my find them easier to use lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463712 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:33:10 +0000 mfa_lady 2463712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Thanks for the input!</p> <p>@avivoca: Motherhood is a glamorous thing, yes? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463708 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:31:03 +0000 avivoca 2463708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them and still managed to pee on myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463705 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:29:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 2463705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them<br /> And thought they were fine. Didn't think they were any better or worse than old fre's. I do think there's less chance of splashing pee on them but I usually pee into a cup and dip so it didn't really affect me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-curved-frer#post-2463700 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:27:17 +0000 mfa_lady 2463700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard reports that they're not as awesome as the original. Have you used them/heard stories? What don't you like about the new, curved FRERs? </p>
