Pregnancy test of choice???
| Tue, 08-18-2009 - 12:13pm |
I would like to know which test you all prefer, trust, etc??
I have one First response early result left (my daughter decided to play with a box of tampons and my other pregnancy test today while I took my shower so I'm down one LOL) but they are soo pricey...I'm wondering if there are any comparable to this one?

I use the dollar tree tests. I think they are new choice. They are accurate up to .25 miu if I remember correctly.
They told me with both my DS that I was pregnant. I have 2 left and AF is due Thursday so I am trying to hold out until then to test.
My husband had to stop me this morning, because I wanted to test. Usually with me even with the early tests I dont get a BFP until the day of my missed period. I think because I have only an 11 day luteal phase.
Anyway, any IPS going on? I am extremely tired and now have heartburn and some dizyness. Fingers crossed...

Sherilyn,
Thanks for the info. What I can't figure out is if the dollar store tests do measure .25 (I read the same thing at peeonastick.com and so does equate and some others) according to that website so does FRER....why is FRER so much more dang $$$ ?!
Is it more accurate ?
Well I think I may be out. I just started spotting. Usually the past 3 months I do for 2 days before AF. I'll keep an eye on it and if she isnt here I'll probably test Friday. I have to conserve my 2 tests, in case I need one next month.
GL to you.

Aw I'm sorry hun, for some reason I think I'll be around here for a while this time as well :(
GL to you as well!
Wellllllllllllll, here's my 2 cents for what it's worth LOL! Everything I've read online says $tree tests detect 20 mIU/ml, which is one of the lowest amounts I've seen besides FRER. I used $tree test last month and didn't get a good +, but on the FRER it was NO doubt a plus - soooooooooo there ya go. I HATE answer unless they've changed since DS who is now 7. I constantly got BFN's even when I was prego - so I spent more $$$ buying more tests. Target brand stinks too - gave me what I was sure was a plus (very faint), but FRER said NEGATIVE. Target is one of the blue dye tests that you'll read about not taking b/c they are hard to interpret and are notorious for evap lines. I say go with FRER (coupons on their website) and try ebay!!! You'll have to have them shipped but alot of the sellers ship within 1 day! $Tree sound promising and I do have 4 sitting under my sink that I'm sure I'll use starting tomorrow - ACK!!! LOL!
BEST WISHES,

I love Answer. I've always had lots of luck with it. To me it seems as sensitive as the FRER and is clearly a lot cheaper. I use the Walmart $1 off coupons for them and they're nice and cheap.
I've had good and bad luck with $tree. While I've gotten very early BFPs with $tree, I've also had issues with evap lines on them. I think it's a great way to start, but have some Answer or FRER on hand in case.
You said in another thread that you're feeling really pregnant--any charting? I'm hoping for your BFP any day now!! :)

Thanks for your reply! I have one FRER left at this point but I am thinking of getting some cheepo's tomorrow and saving the FRER for Friday.
Okay here's an update that might help you....I tested this afternoon at 8dpo with a $tree test...got a faint positive within the 3 minutes, but tonight when I looked at it again I saw another line (3 lines total). So it made me think $tree must give an evap line else I'm having twins, LMAO!!! I'm still NOT ready to celebrate as last month I had my chemical pregnancy. So I won't feel at ease for several more days....like the day AF is due or later. I would def keep the FRER on hand to use and I think they are worth the $$$ because I have never had an evap line show on one (not saying it doesn't happen). I've read online they can test as little as 15mIU/ml. So that alone, if you're a test freak like me, makes them worth the $$$, LOL!!! Get a dollar tree or 5, lol, and try those first.
Hope we are celebrating together :)
