I know this has been asked b4, but..

what's the best Pregnancy test? My DH got a couple of the digital tests... well, b/c he's a man and likes electronics and digital stuff where it'll just say "pregnant" or "not pregnant"
Men and their simple minds. LOL

but I think I read on here once that they're not as good.

Well the digitals are not as senstive as the ones that change color (ie..clear blue easy, first response). So you may want to start with first response. On the good side, because the digitals aren't as sensitive, if you did get a BFP on a digital ..you would know FOR SURE that is was legit!

The lower the number, the more sensitive they are... the first couple are available online.
