What's the best pregnancy test?

i had a strong positive using a medisave test. but it was a week after my period was due (the only reason i waited that long was because we were out of the country!).

I did.

Did anyone ever get a +ive using medisave test??

it depends when you ovulated. Just because you have 28 day cycle doesn't mean you ovulate in the middle of it. If you ovulated late, then it might be too early to test - they say to be reliable, 14 days after ovulation, so if you don't know when that was, it's just a guessing game & you should try again in a couple of days. Very hard to keep sane during this time tough. good luck

So glad to find you all, thought I was going mad.I am 3, nearly 4 days late for the 1st time after 18 months of trying. I have a 28dc always and am never late. Have done 2 tests, clear blue and early response and both are - . Have I tested too early, or am I not pregnant?? Has anyone else had this experience, please help.

...Boots digital are good. I tested positive with them at cd25 and cd27 (today). Best of luck.

NOT PREDICTOR - see my posts on ttc no 17!!!!

I have just got a BFP from a First Response test and am only at cd24 out of a cycle of 28 days. Am stunned - they are obviously very senstive.

Boots, though I got a funny result the 1st time (day period due) but it worked well 1 week later. My first test that properly worked was one from poundstretcher! 2 tests for £1, though they they were a bit old fashioned, having a pot to dip a stick in rather than going on the stick (if that makes any sense???)

WOW...!!

just reading this has made me feel loads better..
at least 3 people have said that CB digital gave neg results when they were pg, or got + from others..

woo hoo.. I'm hoping that it was a) a rubbish test, and b) i tested too early.

(why the sore boobs and thrush, if I can get those symptoms surely the hgc would be high enough to regester even with CB digital ??)
knowing my luck though, it's just period symptoms.. not due on until tomorrow.
sitting and waiting.... !!

Sorry sleepdeprived

That's very kind of you, SL - thanks so much. I really am thrilled for you, and will be even more pleased if you could just sprinkle some babydust my way! Hope to join you on the 'expecting' threads very soon.. in the meantime, have a wonderful christmas xx

Thanks Hester - feel like I know you from all the reading and feel a tad like I'm rubbing peoples noses in it hence not posting on the big TTC thread! I've often found it hard to swallow my own disapointment and congratulate people so thank you sincerely for your congrats especially when I know what you have been and are going through! I wish you all the luck in the world I really really do! SL xxx

HUGE congratulations Silverlining - hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! xxx

congrats silver lining

boots own was actually better than the test the GP used on me:- came up instantly and strongly positive on the boots test, only came up with a faint line on the one the GP used

Thanks for congratulations! To be honest I had started to take the whole TTC business a bit to heart when nothing happened month after month - this was after DD concieved after one attempt (ahem !) Then having avidly read the TTC thread (from an early number to the present one!) I read a message from someone that first of all really made me see red and then actually quite upset me about how someone (nameless!) didn't want to be pregnant in the height of summer and have an August baby. So I steered clear of all the TTC stuff and just relaxed about about the whole thing and, well, beggers can't be choosers and being an August baby myself (31st - don't get much later than that!) I can honestly say that I am DELIGHTED to be pregnant and will cope with the sun etc and whatever is thrown at me as I want this baby soooo much!!! Good luck to everyone else - glad this is off my chest! and fisilhohoho - must admit I thought the same as you - must be the same sense of humour!!!! SL xxx

no offense. God, it makes me realise how lucky I am that I'll never have to go through this again!

Aww fisil I didn't mean to go all defensive!

Yes I know, sorry. There have been times when that thought would have made me cry!

fisil! You're lucky she's not crazy like I was the other month that would have made me go sniffly!!

Try not to do one too soon sleepdeprived, honestly it can lead to lots of heartache! Well it did for me, possibly because I'm a wimp and I got completely obsessed with testing lol..

OMG - I am so much in Xmas Uncle joke mood. I looked at the title of this thread and thought "a positive one, ha, ha, ha." Oh well, at least it's only once a year.

Ok so one more thing lol - WELL DONE SILVERLINING!!!!!! hope you have a healthy happy 9 months and a beautiful healthy bubs!

sleepdeprived, just a thing on the earlyness, as no one else has mentioned it! Some tests say that they can be accurate a few days before your period is due, the medisave ultra earlies say 7-10 days after conception! ... but to avoid extra faint positives that make you crazy (ahem no personal experience coming through there, honest!), or the more likely false negatives I would definately do the test on the day your period is due, or later, and with your first morning urine! That's my 2 pennies worth! Good luck!
