Whats your fav HPT brand?

[DaintreeDream]

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.

I don't like crystal clear. I got a false + once, and this pregnancy I did a test at 8 weeks (at 7 weeks my HCG was 75000) and it was still faint. Very annoying!

I loved the pregnosis tests, with the cute flotation rings. It literally floats the stick in a cup of pee, ROFL! But the line was nice and dark, and the test is fairly sensitive too.

I can understand you wanting to test each month under your circumstances. I'm on a 28 day active tablet minipill which may stop me from getting AF so I've started temping as I'm paranoid I'll be pregnant and not know that I am as my pregnancy symptoms were mild. If it's working for you keep doing it.

My fave HPT's are the lullaby conception ones that you buy online. I got the ones that you can use early and you wee on them (not the cup type ones). They are very cheap so are great for anyone who could be testing a lot. I never got a false positive on them - they were positive for the two pregnancies I had while using them and negative on the non pregnant cycles. I believe they are very reliable and can highly recommend them. They only take a few days to get them to you.

My favourite was First Reponse ... I bought a three pack, tested 10DPO and got a BFP (faint, but a line is a line!). They are very sensitive. remember when you buy a HPT to test early one might be positive and one might be negative depending on the strength of the test.

My 3 HPTS... 10, 12, 14DPO

I like the Clearblue Digital, no lines, rather it says PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT. Easy! I found them to be cheapest at Priceline.

I love Lullaby Conceptions 10mui, it gives you a reliable result from 7DPO (I didnt test until 10DPO though to be on the safe side) and even better, they are only about $3 each from the website so you can afford to be a POAS addict !!!

Thankyou for all of your advice.

The Clear Blue looks great, it looks expensive though... maybe I will get one for a special occasio, like when I know for sure that it is going to say 'pregnant'.

I just googled the lullaby tests, I can only see the 20miu, and cup test only, they are on special though 10 strips for $10.95 and 10 cups for $4.95 - thats only $1.59 per test, not bad!
I have found a pharmacy nearby that stocks lullaby though, I might go for a drive

Thanks again....

Keep them coming!

First response - not too expensive & I've always found them reliable.
