I'm Currently Feeling: | I'd say first response too, i used clear blue once got past due date and it came up BFP, but before due date i'd use first response |

I'm Currently Feeling: | not sure where you are based but Tesco and Asda are very well regarded, they work off 25mlu. Other than that, if you want to get a stock of tests in, just your basic strip test ( ebay or access diagnostics etc) work from between 10 and 25mlu |

x | I've seen this ad this week too and it's the First Response one that states you can test up to 6 days early, so it sounds like it is a sensitive test. I have to admit, I'm not one for these claims as it could lead people to spending a lot of money in the hope of getting an early result ... but it you are not pregnant, then it won't matter whether you test early or not.
I have bought a box of digital ones and loads of cheapies (which are the most sensitive ones I have found so far). I will wait until I get a glimmer of a line on a cheapie and then go for it and use the expensive one.
Having said that I have read where people have not shown a positive on the cheapies for a long time after getting a BFP blood test. It depends I suppose on how desperate you are to test and whether or not you have symptoms. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i've seen some on ebay that are 10mlU which says you can test really early (a normal woman has 5mlU or less non-pregnant and HCG doubles every other day!), is this right?! didnt know if i should try them?! |
