Which one is best or most reliable?


First off, congrats to everyone who got bfp's today!! SO exciting!!! I hope you all have h & h 9 months!!

I'm sure someone has already asked, but which type of test is the best to use? Currently at home, I have one generic store brand test, and 2 First Response tests left so a total of three (should get me through the weekend if AF doesn't show). I see a lot of people test with Clearblue's tests? How reliable are they? I tested negative both with First Response and the generic test (tho I think I tested like, 2 days early anyway with FR)...any suggestions or advice? Thanks always in advance!! and congrats again!!!

Welcome to B&B

I swear by Clearblue. They are expensive but they have confirmed both of my pregnancies when other tests have come out negative. Good luck hun

I think Clearblue has a digital that's less sensitive but shows 'Pregnant' or 'Not Pregnant', as well as one that's more sensitive but you have to look at lines...anyone? Am I right or out in left field?

Thanks poppy!

Well, for now the spotting has stopped, still feeling slight crampy but I don't want to get my hopes up...I keep telling myself there is always next month is this month doesn't happen, and if I don't get a bfp this time, I am due to ovulate around Christmas, and good thing b/c both myself and hubby are off for Christmas vacation...three guesses what we will be doing!! lol

Will keep you posted and see what happens!

I hope you get your BFP in a few days hun

I personally will never use the CB digital tests again. At this stage it has given me a false positive and i've since read that it has done the same to many other women, coming up with 'pregnant' when you're not pregnant. Very heartbreaking.

I've heard great things about the regular POAS CB tests that give you either a + or a -.
