. . .on pregnancy tests? Never had to take one before. Which brand do you guys recommend? Any suggestions on actually taking the test? What to do? What not to do? I'd really appreciate the help.
I really like First Response. You should read the instructions it comes with as it answers all of your other questions.
Ditto.
They are kind of pricey though. If you are testing weekly (like me because my cycle is all wonky) , I'd suggest getting an off-brand. They are just as reliable.
My Blog! TTC #1 since 11/1/2011
Me: 28 DH: 29
DX: Hypothyroidism (2004) & Possible PCOS (2/2012)
CD3 b/w: Elevated LH:FSH ratio HSG: All clear! Y-shaped Uterus; SA: Normal
Round 1 of Clomid (50mg) 8/28-9/1: BFP!
BFP #1: 9/23/12 Edd: 6/4/2013. M/C 9/28/12 @ 4w4d
Round 2 of Clomid (100mg) 10/3-10/7: BFP!
BFP #2: 11/3/12 Edd: 7/16/2013. mmc discovered at 18w2d (our baby girl stopped developing at 15w3d due to Down's Syndrome). d&e 2/15/13
3/28/13: "quite a few" uterine polyps and scar tissue discovered.
Hysteroscopy (4/16/13): Polyps, Scar Tissue removed. Septate confirmed & removed.
Appt with new RE 5/30/13
Surprise BFP (with no treatment!) 6/30/13
Our perfect little boy was born 3/11/14 - 9lbs 2oz, 21 1/4"
When I found out I was PG with Brooke, I tested so many times *just to make sure* and every test: expensive, cheap, digital or not - all came out with the same response. I would go cheapy, especially if you plan on testing a bunch.

This.
Also a lot of women here use "wondofos" which I also just purchased. They're cheap and come in big packs.
