Early Testing

Early Testing

I'm new to this, but I'm sure you all can point me in the right direction.

Is there a better brand of pregnancy test? Also, how far in advance can an "early" pregnancy test detect pregnancy?

Thanks

Re: Early Testing

As far as testing in advance...I'm new at this too so I can't help you there.

But I personally like the digital PG tests. I bought a two pack of digital CVS brand tests for $15 which is a pretty good price.

I think if you do not get a digital test then the one that has a "+" and "-" sign may be better then the one that shows "one line" or "two lines".

HTH!

Technically, the tests can detect HCG at or after 10 dpo. But... The digitals aren't as sensitive as the line tests. I'd avoid them until Af is officially late. In fact, I'd wait to POAS until you get really close to AF's due date. You'll make yourself crazy otherwise...

Re: Early Testing

I bought First Response bc I heard they were one of the better ones. I also have a pack of the CVS brand too that Im going to use.

If I get a positive, I'll confirm it with a clear blue easy digital.
