Best pregnancy test - need to settle my mind once and for all!

I’m on the mini pill and not TTC just yet but I was late with a couple of pills, not outside of the 12 hour window but close to it. And randomly have now got tender breasts and I’m really tired, also odd cranky/shooting pains in my pelvic area. It could just be a random side effect of the pill even though I’ve been on it for 5 years with no issues.... I took an Asda own brand test a few days ago and it was negative - with what I think was an evap line. I don’t have any periods on this pill so I don’t even have the arrival of that to settle my mind...
Anyway I’m going to buy one final test today to clear up my niggles once and for all even though I resent spending money on a test I pretty much know will be negative!

What’s the most reliable one ladies?

The ONLY test you should be using is a FRER (First Response Early Result). It will hopefully give you two pink lines.

If you're overdue a period and just want to know how far, a Clear Blue Digital Weeks Indicator would help with that but should NOT be used for potentially early testing.

Don't even think about getting one with a cross, or a blue dye, or a supermarket own brand. Get a FRER or don't bother is the takeaway point.

Like the poster above says, FRER is the best. It's a bit pricier but so worth it as it's so sensitive and you should get a clear result.
