This time I did a Up & Up early response test first and it was faintly positive. Then I did a Clearblue easy and got a BFN and got all upset. Finally went back to the FRERs that I used last time and got several clear positives. Turned a digi three days later. My advice if you're testing early is just to go with FRERs. I won't ever test with anything else again!

100% agree. FRER turned positive for me around 3 and a half weeks both pregnancies. It's a good, reliable test.

I used first response early detection since the information I found online said it was ranked highest for accuracy being super early (later I did also see a study that had been done between brands confirming this information).  Anyway, I don't know when I ovulated and I don't have a "normal" 28 day cycle, but I was 3.5 weeks (according to dating u/s) when it came out positive.

...and this is what my peed on stick (gross) looked like at that time.

ETA: I'm an idiot and don't remember things anymore.

@alyssa719 That looks like a FRER... Did you use both brands?

alyssa719

@vikingmom806 - crap, you're right, the box was pink - thanks so much!!  I made DH buy them so I guess I wasn't paying total attention and didn't get the acronym of FRER at first.  Ugh, I'm so stupid some days.

firefliesandfjords

Haha no worries, just making sure I wasn't nuts!

10 DPO with a Wondfo

I'll trade pee sticks for the Sept BMB

These are my FRERs at 12DPO & 14DPO:

portentosa

Both pregnancies I got a BARELY visible line on an EPT at around 3-4 weeks pregnant. Even a barely visible line counts!

1 day after period was due. FRER.

first picture is 12 days dpo and second one is 14 days dpo

beemaya83

I used the clear blue digital test. It spells it out for you!! "Pregnant" or "not pregnant"!

camichael84

I tested with wondfos the night of 8DPO and the morning of 9DPO and got super light lines. Didn't even take pictures of them because it wouldn't show up on my camera phone. FRER and Clearblue digital taken the same time as the second wondfo. The FRER was clearly darker than the wondfos.

Mine was digital... I knew I was pregnant because it actually told me me "Pregnant" vs. telling me "not pregnant".

TexasTwinMom

This is how you do iiiiiit....

plunkybug

I started with a dollar store one, then two generic store brand ones.

Nuclearcupcake

All of my BFPs were on digital tests.

Mamazon2014

Used FRER one week after period was due (5 weeks pregnant). The line was super strong and appeared before the moisture even hit the assurance line.

Sorry for BW image, I only have the edited picture left on my phone.

NADA-H

mine had a very faint second line that I doubted myself, had my mom check it, then my doctor and both confirmed they see a second line, I tried another test the line came out as even faint-er and then I didn't believe it until I went to a private clinic and had blood drawn and got a confirmed positive.

madfam0405

Positive FRERs with progression and my first two HCG levels. I was a bit paranoid after two chemicals! I am positive on how many dpo I was for each test as I charted and used OPKs.

This is my FRER AT 9dpo they day I was supposed to get AF.

This is what mine looked like on the day I was supposed to start my period. I tested again 3 days later and it turned bright pink right away.

ETA: quote fail. The first test was an extremely faint pink line that made me think my eyes were playing tricks on me. I read that HcG doubles every 2-3 days, so I forced myself to wait that long to re-test.

On the right picture the line showed up almost instantly. I wasn't trying to get pregnant so I haven't really kept up with dates, but don't get me wrong my DH and I are very excited. I was on my birth control in November. My first day of my last period based on my birth control was around the 13th of November. My periods were irregular before birth control.

Edited because I had put bottom picture instead of right and sorry for the gross counter in one. My hair falls out like crazy, I promise I clean up! Lol. 

:P

tealowl

I used the Family Dollar brand (Early Result Pregnanty Test), and tested about 5 days before AF was due. It's a blue dye.

 

 

Steff101

Here's mine. Clear blue. It turned almost immediately to a positive! It was exciting!

ArmyWife0623

These are FRRR (rapid result) that are not sensitive like FRER. I stopped peeing on sticks after seeing this!

coffee bean

I can't remember the name of the pregnancy test, but I used this one with my girls when I got pregnant with them and now again!  This time around, I definitely saw the second line but thought they'd be closer together.  We followed it up with the clearblue easy the next day to be sure.

BlckRoses

I got a negative at 11DPO and then a positive at 13dpo then a positive digital the next day. The pics are all positive tests.
Yes I kept all the tests and labeled them because I'm weird. They looked the same within the time frame.

beachbunny19

First time mom and my DH and I couldn't be more excited! Based on LMP my due date is Aug. 31st. Took the test 2 days after Aunt Flo was suppose to visit. The pregnancy line showed up almost instantly while the test line took a little time!.

MrsFig85

Here's what my positive test looks like (sorry it's upside down)

momthatlifts

My tests were faint on a wondfo at 9 dpo and I was very skeptical. I even threw it out... then took another one the next morning. Still faint so I verified with a frer... people were like "doesn't the line have to be the same color" started having me sorry lol. The one with the lighter line was the one people questioned. So I got a digi!

lookame3639

These are from the day i found out. I took the picture on our (very old) coffee table which is why it looks kind of gross.obviously even with the very clear first responce line I still didn't believe hence the digital. I still tested well until my first dr appointment 3 weeks later.

based on fertility friend my test day was 12 dpo. I usually have an 11 day luteal phase.

FRER day period was due

First response

roselyn81

I used a cheap drugstore generic brand first and it showed two dark lines...pregnant. I couldn't believe it, was totally shocked. Then I took 2 First Response tests and both showed teh same...two dark lines.

sam.nelson27

Tested on 1/11/14 at exactly 5 weeks with morning pee, Walgreens brand. It showed up positive RIGHT away.

marina3203875

Tested 2 of them, positive. The next 2 the next day. All of them are positive.
The pink one I believe is First Response, the purple one I believe Walmart brands, and the blue one is Clear Blue.

Man, I can't upload a pic, still uploading for like 20 mins why?

mercedesbenz802

I used a FRER for the hell of it because I was not feeling good at all and got a positive result at 4 weeks.  

Arwen78

Mine was just a Walgreens one. I wasn't trying to get pregnant, in fact, I was on medication for ADD and all the signs of pregnancy were also side effects. I contacted my doctor and they told me to go see my reg. doctor as the side-effects shouldn't have just come on like they did. Wondering if I could be I ran out to get a test. Sure enough I was preggers, it didn't even wait the 2 minutes that it said to it that plus sign showed up as soon as the pee hit the window area. I had been a week or two after the missed period so yeah.
