accuracy of pregnancy tests Posted: 01-07-08 19:33pm
Hello, I was just wondering how accurate
at home pregnancy tests were. I have used
first response about four times, and am
wondering if thats pretty much the same
thing they offer at the clinic.
My clinic only offers urine tests at a bit
more of an expensive price than the
drugstore.
Also, just wanted to ask if having an
irreguar period could mess up the results
of the test, altough i guess periods have
nothing to do with urine.
I want to add that i waited far longer
than two weeks to take these first
response tests (2 weeks- 1 1/2 month)
so can i trust them?
Thanks for your time

First Response pregnancy tests are very
accurate. I have one little girl and I
just found out today that I am pregnant
again. First Response is the only tests
that I will use. They are just as accurate
as a doctors visit.
If you take a test and the results come
back negative, but you really feel that
you are pregnant, it may just be too early
to detect the pregnancy hormone. You
should wait another week or two and test
again. I took a test a week and a half ago
and it was negative because it was just
too early to tell.
Good luck. Hope everything goes as
planned.
