question about tests

[MaerynPearl]

I'm 13dpo and had a very faint positive 2 days ago and a slightly darker one 12 hours later... both on the (known to be very sensitive) dollar tree tests...

I'm going to search as much as I can in this winter storm for another test, i cant get to any big name stores as I live and work in two very small towns nowhere near a city.

Does anyone know how sensitive the digital test is if i can find it? and other than that in your experience other than dollar tree what is the most accurate test?

here are two links you may find helpful
http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html
http://peeonastick.com/hpts.html

But... if you have two + on dollar tree tests, you're pregnant!

[MaerynPearl]

unfortunately I'm at work and cannot go to those links. it was hard enough to get to this one...

I think ill trudge to the drug store in my town because I believe it's a branch of snyders... so they'll likely have a digitest... if they're even open. Everythings going into "OMG ITS SNOWING!" mode lol


and as much as I trust the dollar tree tests (my daughter was just as faint of a pos on a dollar tree test)....

dbf wants proof that he can trust.

Oh, since you need it for a man, get a digital. It will be easier for them to 'read'...

bought one from the grocery store at lunch, got back to work and ....

oh noes

its a blue + or - test

so heres hoping it doesnt screw me over!

ack! No way!
Try again in a few days?

I have taken a million of the Dollar Store tests over the years and never got a false result - save for the few times when I tested too early....

If I got a + I was pregnant. If I was not pregnant it gave me a -.
Even after sitting for a few days a - did not turn +.

I hope this clear blue was just not as sensitive as it is supposed to be and the next test shows "PREGNANT" loud and clear!


oh! was it the digital???
they have the clearblue digital at 50mIu's of hcg! Dollar Stores are *ahem* 25mIus, with some reports of it actually being lower than that.

Crossing my fingers for you!

My booklet i got with it says 25mg hcg... it's the type that you dont pop strips in and out of... that you cant get to the strip unless you tear it apart (which i did because i was so upset i didnt want to see the 'not pregnant' anymore) and even that takes tools to do. I didnt take it on fmu... ill try that tomorrow morning with my other one. Otherwise... i'm going to the doctor anyway tomorrow for unrelated stuff and if af isnt showing up ill mention that i think i could be.

I know she'll blood test me at the drop of a hat... lol


both of my pos's with dollar tree tests were as light as when pg with my daughter (i actually got the faint pos at 6 days past conception, according to my ultrasound)

So I was really hoping...
