whats the difference between first response and how soon can you test with them?

Piffle · 18/07/2006 20:32

they are meant to be yes..
I got a bfp early with both though, it was def more obvious on the First response though

first response surposedly pick up the PH hormones earlier than any other test.

they didn't in my case.

BOOTS tests did every time...actually so did superdrug

LadyTophamHatt · 18/07/2006 20:33

sorry PG hormones

FWIw tesco own brand gave me the ebst thickest line... cheapest too

well 1st response says up to 4 days before AF due, but only about 54% of women will get a positive result at 4 days before. Clearblue now says that you can test up to 4 days before with the same proviso. I'm sure that a few yrs ago they didn't. HTH.

got a really really fiant line with First response so went out and got a digitail Clear blue and it was BFP !!! They are the best imo if your not buying them every month!!

earthtomummy · 18/07/2006 20:43

Congrats pinkranger! Also, wonder how can a test be so expensive - they can't coast that much to make, can they??
