    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

  • Ditto the others.  I think the non-digital CBEs are blue-dye tests, right?  I only used the First Response Early Result two-line pink tests.  They had some at Walmart that have 3 in a box instead of 2.  There's also a coupon inside the box for $2-3 off.  It was a good deal, especially if you open it up before checking out and use the coupon.  ;)  DH wouldn't let me, lol!    Just make sure the box says it has another HPT in it, some of them have those "fertility" tests in them as a bonus instead.

  • After my experience last time, I'm a big FRER fan.  The cheapies took a few more days to show up.  I'm not sure about how sensitive CBE regulars are.  The instructions should say the min amt. of hCG they detect.  GL!

  • I've always used FRER.  I've heard/read that the blue dye tests can give false positives which would be truly evil, so I've stayed away!
