I really like the digital ones. However, I think any of them would do. I took a total of 5 preggo tests and used three from the dollar general and they showed a positive just like the digital ones did. Good luck.
At first I used the one that was a plus or minus, then when I saw the plus side I went to the store the next day and got the digital kind so there was no confusion. It came with two test so I used 3 before it hit me that we were pregnant.
You can go to peeonastick.com for the full breakdown of different brands, but the gold standard seems to be the non-digital FRER (First Response Early Result). Most digitals aren't as sensitive as the pink dye line tests, so I wouldn't recommend using those if you want to test early. The blue dye tests like some store brands use are also notorious for giving false positives.
I use internet cheapies off early-pregnancy-tests.com or amazon and then use a FRER if I should get a positive on one of those. I wouldn't waste money on the more expensive digitals until I was sure it would be accurate, and even then it's more just for the fun of seeing "pregnant" on a test!
There are FRERs at Walmart that have an extra one in the box for free, it says on it "3 for the price of 2" and there's a coupon inside for another $2 off. That's the best deal I've seen. Good luck whenever you test!

I vote Dollar Tree tests when TTC...they are as accurate as any other and cheap. I had like 10 in the house. Every time I got a negative on one, got my period that night or the next day, i.e. not pregnant. The one time I got a positive on the $ test, I was pregnant. Went to the store for a digital to confirm at that point...I think it was First Response or Clearblue.
Well, I was supposed to start this past Monday, but I think I might still be a little messed up from when I quit taking my BCP, or it could be stress with Adam's surgery coming up on Tuesday. I was going to wait until Saturday to see what happens.

This! The dollar tree tests work fine, then I bought name brands after I got a positive result on it.
I used 2 of the the First Response Early Result ones, a then the FRER digital. I didn't like that the FRER digital just said "Yes+" so I went out and bought a CBE digi so that I could see "Pregnant" I'm lame. I know.
I used FRER and according to my dating u/s (I was not tracking) found out I was pregnant at something like 2 weeks, 4 days. They are extremely sensitive!
I started with one of the dollar store ones and tested 3 & 5 days before AF, and it came back negative. The next day (2 days til AF) I used First Response and it came back VERY positive -- the line showed up DARK, immediately!
I vote First Response. The dollar store ones did nothing for me.

I can't believe the Dollar Tree tests worked for yall! Mine was negative...Maybe it was too soon though.
I took a First Response EPT with both my pregnancy's! But definately wait the whole time! lol. The first time I took it, it was negative so I threw it away and then my son had got it out of the trash and I seen it....it was POSITIVE! lol what a surprise!
Re: Pregnancy tests?
I have used First Response with both of my pregnancies...and both time I also got early BFP's. You can go to their website and print a coupon.
