Hi....So what are the best HPT's to take? Also i saw an abbreviation for EPT? What's the difference? And someone mentioned there's a link for what all the abbreviations mean...but I can't find it?

    The general rule I've seen posted on here is to stay away from blue dye HPTs because they often give false positives. Many of the ladies I saw used First Response Early Results (FRER). EPT is likely the brand name of HPT.

    1) Buy HPTs from the Dollar Store.  They work just as well as the more expensive brands.  Like the pp said:  just stay away from the blue dye tests.

    2)  Abbreviations:  there is a link in the menu on the left side of the page.  Scroll almost all the way to the bottom of the menu and click on "Bump Board Glossary".  I also have a copy of the "unofficial" glossary in my bio- along with a ton of tech support.  Just click the tech support link in my sig.

    HTH <----- hope that helps!

    Awesome this was really helpful!! Thanks so much!  Your tech support is amazing!! Answered pretty much all of my questions!

    Several of my girlfriends recommended EPT digital and First Response, so that's what I got! I think I tested too early but I'm optimistic! Good luck!
