Do you think it really matters...

...if you buy the Dollar Tree PG test or if you shell out the cash for an EPT, first response? Is a test really just a test, or does it matter?

Re: Do you think it really matters...

I got a BFP on a Dollar Tree test.

I like to use those during the "early stages" - like if I'm tempted to test on 10DPO and know it's probably a waste of the test.

When I got my BFP, I confirmed it with a FRER

According to THIS WEBSITE the Dollar Tree tests are very accurate.

Re: Do you think it really matters...

Since most people tend to confirm a BFP with more than one type of test anyway, it makes sense to use a less expensive test and then confirm with a more expensive one.

If you do a search you can find the sensitivity level of all of the tests. I dont think it matters how much you paid for it, it matters how sensitive the test is and how early you want to test. I got a BFP with a Clear Blue Easy (non digital). I confirmed the next day with an EPT digital and a target test but i have to say - the target test was pretty faint. I am not sure it would have picked up anything a day earlier, while the CBE did....

I got a BFP on the 20 pack First Choice. I can't spend that much money on OPK's. The 20 pack is the way to go, especially if you have long cycles.
