Good luck Millyz...that would be the best Valentines pressie ever

I recently bought some Quickcard, they were 3 for $9 which I thought was quite cheap but wish I had got First Response now ]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:50:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613582&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613582 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613526&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613526 Author: RinTinTin

Thanks for the feedback ladies - have just been to the chemist and bought a Discover 2-test pack.

Will test tomorrow morning provided AF doesn't show up between now and then.

Crikey, a BFP on Valentines Day would be a pretty good present! Trying not to get too excited though .... ]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:43:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613508&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613508 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613167&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613167 Author: littlestar

I get a BFP on Discover about 3 days before I get one on First Response strips or Quickcard.
I think next time I would get some off the internet cos then I can just go crazy and poas whenever I like.
But for buying them from the shops, I'd recommend Discover for an early result or FirstResponse for price.]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 07:59:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613167&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613167 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613120&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613120 Author: FreeSpirit

I'm a fan of first response - always buy the multi pack, just in case. Got my BFP just after DP left to find us a house in Oz, boy was that an interesting chat to have over the phone!!]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:21:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613120&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613120 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613099&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613099 Author: WestiesGirl

Me too!! Loved them. And I tested at 12DPO (3 days before AF was due) and got a BFP on an internet cheapie. ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:56:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=613099&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#613099 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612625&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612625 Author: Mum_mum

Well... im my expereince (and i did try them all )

Discover - is the best for early detection cos it measures lower levels of HCG. Is more expensive tho and only some chemist stock them. i think they mesure 15ml/u.

First response - I like these cos they are cheapish and can buy in a 3 pack. I got a BFP at 12DPO on these. these mesure 25ml/u i think.

Clearblue - these mesure 50ml/u from my understanding. i didnt like them that much. just cos really.

And lastly, quickcard - i only used when ionce and it was way to early, didnt know what DPO i was so would have only been about 6 lol.

Havent tried internet cheapies.

Personally my favourite (isnt it weird to have a favourite HPT!) is first response!]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:30:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612625&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612625 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612624&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612624 Author: RinTinTin

hey Milly, I just wrote in another thread about this very thing... I reckon First response are pretty good. I got BFP last time at 10DPO with one - the next morning I used a quickcard which still tested as BFN. I'm not too sure about clearblue as never had a BFP with the two I have used but I wasn't preggo so fair enough Discover are suppose to measure from 15ml/u of HcG which is low so you can test earlier...

I too would like to hear what tests others recommend? ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:47:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612570&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612570 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612561&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612561 Author: Millyz

Hi all

I'm new to the world of baby-making and was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of the best supermarket/chemist brands of Home Pregnancy Tests.

I'm thinking about testing on Saturday but only have a Clear Blue test at home - from reading other posts I have a feeling these ones aren't so reliable if you are testing reasonably soon after ovulation (I'll be 10-12 DPO)?

Any recommendations would be welcome! Thanks ]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:35:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24500&PID=612561&title=the-lowdown-on-hpt-brands#612561
