An Open Letter to $ Tree Pregnancy Tests:

Dear $ Tree Pregnancy Tests: 

I am convinced that you are all broken. 

This is all a huge scam to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on pieces of plastic that tell me nothing.

You should market these as dominos rather than pregnancy tests. They are probably more useful as such. 

 

Officially switching to First Response even though that will make me go broke at the rate that I'm peeing on things,

CVS Brand isn't so bad. I used those. [I was in a bit of denial. haha] But, a box of 5 was $15, and I used those "ExtraCare Bucks" to take $5 off of that, too.

I've always wondered just how accurate those things could be if they're selling them in the dollar store. (I wonder the same thing about the effectiveness of dollar store condoms.) 

I tend to buy the Walmart brand since they're pretty cheap but not so cheap that I don't trust them...plus they've always been accurate for me.

I like the internet cheapies.  I forget the brand but I got them at Amazon and they were around a dollar each and worked great.

I've always had much better luck with $Tree than other brands.

Been really happy with what I've gotten from here and you can usually find a coupon code for 5% off.

Just because you're not getting the answer you want doesn't mean they're wrong.

I'm well aware of this. This post was meant to be facetious.

Are you charting or anything to know that you're late when you test?

I've never had a problem with various brands of $ store tests. DH wouldn't believe me this time around so I used a bunch up until the ultrasound to prove it.

I hope you get one that isn't defective soon. ;-)

wondfo's. amazon. I got a combination of OPK and PG tests that ended up being 17 cents a test.

I've only ever used dollar store tests.  They've always been accurate for me.  3 pregnancies, 3 positives.  The test at the Dr's office wasn't as sensitive and it killed me when all 3 times they sent me home with a negative test only for them to call me the next day to say that the blood work proved I was pregnant.

That's the site I used, too.  I had a bit of a POAS obsession.

Dude.  Get these. They are seriously the best thing ever. DH threatened to kick me out of the house if I bought any more pee sticks at Wal-Mart. 

I may or may not have a POAS addiction...

Absolutely this. I got my first faint faint positive (like we had to pore over it for an hour to decide we really saw something kind of faint) at 10dpo and the next day I got a glaring BFP with a FRER.

This. All my BFPs have been on $Tree tests!
