Question What kind of pregnancy test

What kind do you use? Like I want specifics Brand, type (digital, blue or pink, +/- or double line) and why. Are there tests that you like and/or don't like and why?

Also, a specific question-have any of you used the double line, blue dye Equate brand from WalMart? If so, have you gotten valid results?

Thanks!

I have 2 bad digital tests. so I don't do those. I always use first response early detection. I also got a positive on time 12 days POIUI on the Walgreen brand early response.

i did use the equate brand blue dye that was three years ago but it was the kind that you get a plus as the second line or just a line if negative...it worked well(even though wheni first looked at it i was like i didn't think so they never are positive and i threw it out then like 3 mins later i dug it out cuz i reread the instructions )it was positive but i had a high beta....i also have used the blue dye early pregnancy tests from early pregnancy test.com...they work but have faint lines i've never gotten a false positive from them...i have used first response early result digital test and i know they detect low levels cuz it was still positive on my beta day where the number was 26...i had one bad digital but i can't remember the brand the date was still good but it never gave a result just that d*mn clock telling you it was working...i bought that on in a multipack and it was the last one that didn't work lol...i think it was clear blue easy...anyway not that i'm a poas addict or anything but hope some of this helps lol...i am actually gonna try to wait for beta day to poas...only because i would rather get a negative test and process it alone then wait for that darn phone call that takes forever and process it at work in front of hundreds of people...and if the poas is wrong and my beta is positive well that would certainly cheer me up lol....good luck

I used the ones you can buy at Dollar Tree. I don't remember the brand name or if there was one. I used those because they were super cheap and I was a poas fanatic (I took 5 before I got my beta). I took my first one 12dpiui and it gave me a faint positive second line.
