I would like to know what your fav HPT brand is?

When I was preg with DD I did 3 HPT (crystal clear) all came back a very very light line, I was convinced I was preg but DP thought that the line was too faint, so I went to the Dr and asked to have a preg test because I thought I was preg, where he poked me in the head with his pointed finger and said 'I don't think so' (to being preg that is) he then did a 'wee' test and it was a BFN, I came home very upset because I was sure I was preg, 3 days later on my DP's 30th B'day I did another HPT (not sure what brand, but not crystal clear) and it was clearly a BFP, I was 7 weeks preg it turns out.

My DP and I are now TTC #2 and I did a HPT a few days ago crystal clear and it was a very faint positive, then the second in the pack was the same. I wasn't convinced this time so bought a 'confirm' HPT and it was a BFN.

I do not want to waste my money on HPT but I do not want to be constantly going to my Dr for a test either (I have a new Dr by the way) so I would like to use a highly recommended brand of HPT?

I was going to test every month as AF has not returned since DD was born, does this seem reasonable?

Thankyou,
Deanne.
