A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage, before there is a heart beat.

I think it's a stupid name, to be honest, as if it's less than any other pregnancy.]]> Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:34:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=485032&title=which-test-to-buy#485032 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=484479&title=which-test-to-buy#484479 Author: caitlynsmygirl

I just used Discover One step- came up clear as a whistle nice and quick- no waiting around like First Response (for me) then not knowing if its really acurate.
I dont know whether to believe the results if they take ages- thats just me being paranoid though :)

10IU is the lowest I've ever seen them. I wouldn't recommened this because a women can get an hcg of 18 and still not be pregnant.
Be wary of where you are buying these test.

I've found the MDS ones the best too, but have never seen them in a supermarket.
I also used a clearblue once a few days before af was due, got a positive, and then started bleeding just as/after af was due. So was a chemical pregnancy. So testing too early can lead to sad outcomes sometimes....so don't test too early.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:15:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482697&title=which-test-to-buy#482697 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482684&title=which-test-to-buy#482684 Author: cuppatea

MDS quickcards pick up levels of 25 which is very low. I tested early this time and with my m/c and got pos results. New world were selling them with one extra free in the packet as well, and they are what the Canterbury district health board use so they must be pretty good.

Good luck]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:03:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482684&title=which-test-to-buy#482684 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482662&title=which-test-to-buy#482662 Author: minik8e

The most sensitive test is the Discover One Step, from the chemist. It's about $18 for one, and $23 for two....detects HCG levels from 15 upwards. ]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 06:57:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482662&title=which-test-to-buy#482662 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20641&PID=482497&title=which-test-to-buy#482497 Author: jack_&_charli

Which HPTs give the earliest results? Has anyone had an early BFP with a particular brand?
