don't wanna wait -- best HPT??

OK, so being the impatient person that I am, I've decided I don't really want to wait to find out if the stork has visited. Considering that during a round of illness, I may have thrown up 3 - 4 of my pills (now I know they would be considered missed) I want to know for sure. My last pill was yesterday (I originally thought today but got a surprise when I looked at the pack this afternoon & found sugar pills) & AF should be due between Thursday & Saturday respectively. I have cramps like she's coming but I also have backache & my breasts are "tingling" -- almost like they're asleep. I was also thinking that maybe they're tingling b/c my nipples are pierced but I've had that done for about 6 months now and this is the first time it's happened.

As you can see, I'm kinda freaking out a bit & was thinking about testing early -- do guys have recommendations on which pregnancy test would be the best?? I understand that the ones that test the smallest amount of hcg would be what I'm looking for but I feel like a boob standing in the aisle in the drugstore wondering if one might be better than the other.

Any help would be great & a baby would definitly be welcome, just thought that my youngest would be out of diapers first, lol.

Impatience..........now THERE'S something we all can relate to! lol j/k As far as HPT's go, I know that every woman most likely has her own preference. As far as price wise, those HPT's from the dollar stores are great, and they're also very sensitive. But, for this early of testing, I would stick with First Response Early Response tests........only cuz they'd supposed to be "made" for earlier testing :) So, I guess those are my favs! lol HTH's, and definetly keep us posted on ur testing progress! Hope you get the answer you want :)

Thank you. I'm in Canada and lucky for me, our dollar stores don't carry hpt's....kinda sucks. Was thinking about picking up the double pack of First Response today, that way I'll have one for the morning (if I can wait that long) and one for later if I need it.

I've been cramping today but then passing wind soon after so I don't know if it's AF cramps or gas. Either way, she's due today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice, I certainly needed it.

So, I couldn't wait & tested on my lunch break at work. BFN. Although there was some relief there, I was disappointed as well. I bought a pack of two so I'll save the other one if AF doesn't show up in the next couple of days. I also have a dr's appointment on Tuesday so I'll be able to ask him some questions as well.

Wishing you good luck and baby dust, thanks for the support.

I'm still up in the air about this whole thing. I started to spot yesterday but not enough to consider AF -- thought to myself, "finally, get it over with". But, I'm still spotting today, barely anything, no need for a pad since it's only there when I go to the washroom. I've only had a couple of cramps and not that bad but did feel my stomach get tight now & then. I just don't feel like I usually do when AF is supposed to be here (considering I usually spot in the morning & she's full force by the evening) & she was due Friday...I don't get it. I'll see over the next couple of days if the spotting actually leads to something & then test again if not. Dr's appointment on Tuesday as well, so I'll definitely be talking to him about whether or not pregnancy is still a possibility or if it is just my body regulating itself to the pill.

Ugh...waiting sucks.

Any idea??
