When it does come time for you to test, don't buy blue dye pregnancy tests. Stick to the pink dye or digital. Digitals usually aren't as sensitive, so don't be surprised if it is negative early on. Blue dyes are notorious for false positives. Take it from someone who has been there! Just passing on the knowledge since there are so many new people on here. Happy testing and best of luck to everyone!

Yes I had a faint line on a blue dye test on cycle 3 but thank god I tested again with a pink dye (BFN) and AF showed later that day.. or I would have been crushed by my false hope!

Digitals are more senstive and may take longer to show a positive.

So what test (brand) do you all recommend?

Silly Question but does it tell you on the package if it is a blue dye test??

I use internet cheapies from early-pregnancy-tests.com for both hpt's and opk's. If you are going to go with a store bought, I suggest FRER.

You can usually tell by the package (they have pics on the outside) and the standard II would say most of us use is First Response

Most packages have a picture of the lines/results - if the picture shows a blue line - it's typically blue. If it's pink, it's pink.

Agree.

My Dr thinks I got a false pos. on a digital, but I'm 99% sure it was a C/P.

I'm really sorry for your loss. I think it would be incredibly rare to get a false positive on a digital.

So internet cheapies are good or bad?

Good. A lot of us use them. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than store bought ones.

Do you guys just use the "test strips" I found on early.pregnancy.tests.com?

mrsjazzsinger · January 2010

So I shouldn't use the Target brand tests I have sitting in my bathroom cabinet?

What websites do you recommend to get the tests online?
