Re: The best pregnancy test?
I agree with the digitals. You don't have to wonder if a line means positive because it's faint because it says plain as day "pregnant" or "not pregnant." After a friend of mine had some issues with SEVERAL regular tests and eventually ended up just spending the extra $$ on the digital, when I needed to know, I went straight for the digital.

Digitals are great the closer you are to a late period/missed period. They require a higher level of hormone to be present. However you dont have to guess if you are preggo or not

It's true that the digitals are more accurate because you don't have to guess, but they are less sensitive.
I got my BFP at 10 DPO on the test from the dollar tree. After a few BFP on those, we then bought First Response and got some great lines on that one!! Funny thing is, at the doctors office, they did the dollar tree test to confirm pregnancy. My DH was like 'Hey, that's a dollar test!' He laughed, but I could tell he was thinking 'what the hell?'

I think with pregnancy tests sometimes its all about the name. I have a friend in Pharmaseudical sales and alot of the stuff we buy-we pay more because so and so has their name on it

I used dollar store tests - they were accurate. I confirmed with a digital but really didn't need to spend the money.

Re: The best pregnancy test?
I would probably use more than one brand to confirm.
I thought that digitals were "more accurate" than any of the others but I received a false positive on one recently. It wasn't a fun experience.
Next time I take a test I will make sure to use multiple brands to test before I believe it.
