Dollar Tests VS. EPT - UPDATE
I've been testing with the Dollar Tests and BFN. Do you think it could be the test? Should I pick up an EPT or something along those lines? I am three days late and am SOO dizzy today.
Well bought FRT and BFN!!  Looks like the dollar tests were right.
I think the most frustrating thing is not knowing WHEN I will get my period! Coming off the pill really messes with your body! 
Those of you that came off the pill and got PG, was it hard determing your correct O day? If I'm not regular, won't it be more difficult to determine?

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT
I think you will 50/50 answers on this. My SIL WAS PG and never showed a BFP on dollar tree tests, but did on the EPT dig. I think it depends, but I know a lot of people that DID get their BFP on Dollar trees. Put you mind at ease and pick up a EPT. Just for kicks you know.

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT
Good luck!!!!!!! If you are late it should show on a good test anytime...I took mine at 3pm, just don't drink anything for a few hours and hold it a while and results should be accurate...GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT
the first response ones that i bought says that you dont need FMU, but that the hormone is most concentrated in FMU...

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT
So if I'm 3 days late, and the dollar tree store tests are showing BFN, PLUS this is my first month off the pill, should I just "assume" they are right or should I pick up a FRT?

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT
if this is your first month off the pill, your cycle probably will not be exactly what it was on the pill or before you started taking the pill
it takes a month or 2 (or 3) to regulate itself. so you may not be due for AF for another few days without knowing it. my first month off the pill my cycle was a few days longer than it ever was before
if you are really anxious, get a first response test (don't get the digitals--they're not as accurate as early) and do a test tomorrow. good luck

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT

It was really frustrating when I came off the pill and AF was no where to be found, but i kept getting BFNs. Luckily my ob/gyn told me to go off about 3months before we wanted to TTC- so that gave me time to figure out my monthly cycles. Each month it has gotten slightly shorter (by a day or two)... I used OPKs to figure out my O day. I went through a lot of them... but once i figure it out, i was able to figure out when AF should be arriving. That helped a lot.

When I came off the pill, about 1.5 years ago, my cycles were messed up; prior to the pill,they were all over the place as well. When I got off the pill, they were anywhere from 26-44 days, it was crazy. I was also training for a marathon right after I came off the pill, so that probably did not help - turns out, I went off thinking I wanted to ttc, then a month later, got accepted into the nyc marathon and just went with the flow, not monitoring anything and if I got preggers, I figured I'd simply put off the marathon...anyway, when I was ready to try, I did just simply use the opks and they were right on the money. I did have to use a lot at first, but it got to a point where I started knowing when I would ovulate. That is probably your best bet - dollar tree sells ovulation tests, although I noticed lately not all their locations have them. I also started taking an herb that truly shortened my cycle - I got pregnant the first month I took it ( had a m/c), but am convinced it was a fluke b/c since I've been trying post m/c, I have had no luck!!
Good luck!!

Re: Dollar Tests VS. EPT - UPDATE
I tested on a friday on the dollar tree test, the day my period was due and got a negative. My period is always late so no big deal. I woke up on Sunday and my boobs were KILLING me. I tested again on a dollar tree test and I saw the faintest line. So I ran out and got a digital and it came up pregnant.
I think if you are looking early, they aren't great. But I am sure everyone's different.
GOOD LUCK
