Pregnancy Test

I'M NOT PREGNANT.

Ok, so now that I've cleared that up... did you guys know that there is a new Clear Blue test that estimates how many weeks you are?! How cool (if it actually works)!! I was looking up pregnancy test on Amazon (still BFing and haven't gotten a period so I like to test every so often so I can enjoy an adult beverage and not feel guilty) and saw that pop up.  Think I'm going to order some. If I get pregnant before having a period, I'll have no clue how far along I am, except for the random testing I do.

Anyone used these? Curious as to whether or not they work.

    I saw this on tv a few weeks back. Pretty interesting! I track with an app so I should know how far along if I were to text positive. But it's a great thing if it's accurate.

    Also, anyone ever used the urine strips? I'm not trying to spend a billion dollars on pregnancy tests and it seems like you can get the strips in bulk for much less. But I'm a little skeptical as to whether or not they are accurate.

    I used the strips when TTC- before IF made me resent testing- and they worked.  (At least I think they do.  I didn't get a postive, but that wasn't the tests fault.)  I did get good results with the ovulation prediction strips.

    I got them from pregnancytest.com

    The new tests tell you 1-2 weeks since conception, 2-3 weeks since or 3+ weeks since.

    I haven't used it...I'm already pregnant. But that's what I saw on the commercial and have been told.

    That wouldn't have helped me much. Especially since I wouldn't have tested in the first place except that DH bought a test. Good thing he did because it was positive.

    Good luck with them and let us know how accurate it is when you finally get a positive. ;)

    I've used the WondFo ones from Amazon.  They worked fine for me.  I think I got like 50 tests for like $25 or something. 

    I personally wouldn't be interested in the test that estimates how far along you are-- I'd just wait until my dating ultrasound if I got a positive pregnancy test.

    We also used the Wondfo strips. I will say that I had two false positives with the strips. One might have been a chemical pregnancy and but we didn't know for sure.  However, it was pretty obvious something was wrong with the test when it popped up positive only a few seconds after the test line. 
    I would say two false positives out of probably 50+ uses is pretty good.

    I ordered a handful off of Ebay (I call them China Cheap-os). It beats paying $4 or more for one test.  And I get you on needing to check every once in a while.  I do so about once a month.

    Good to know about the false positives. I ended up ordering these kind you and @fusionbride mentioned.
