Has anyone used these and gotten an early result? Or, an accurate one? lol
My period is due in 4 days. Yesterday, I bought a triple pack of the target brand (which I thought was a steal at $10.99 but they are blue dye and if I squint my eyes I can get a bunch of different visuals) Um oh yeah the triple pack is gone hahah.

I can relate! The Dollar Store ones ARE accurate but only AFTER you've missed your period by a few days! 

I used them with this pregnancy. I just think they aren't as sensitive. BEsides that, they work great!

Good luck!

I got my first 2 positives on a First Response, but the dollar store ones gave me the same exact reading and I was 4-5 weeks when I took mine :) Best of luck!! Not to mention I went through 7 of them for only 7 bucks hahaha was so worth it!

I POAS when I was 3 days late for my period.  I used both First Response - Early Detection and the Dollar Store.  Dollar Store came out negative & First Response came back positive.  I recommend the First Response Early Dectection kit... it's digital and says "Yes" or "No"... pink box.  Bought it at Target.

Good luck & happy POAS! :-)

I got false negatives too with my $Store ones! They DO work but only after there is a ton more HCG in your urine! First Response Early Detection is more accurate early on!

I agree that dollar store ones will work. I took three and got BFN all around. Still feeling like it wasn't right, I went to Target and bought the Up and Up brand, and lo and behold - BFP all around! Three of 'em! Now, I'm a freak, so out of curiosity, I took the rest of my $ tree ones, and eventually, they showed positive, but not until I was like 8 weeks or something rediculous. I say go with Target brand or the EPT like the others say. You could have a baby in your arms before the dollar store ones say positive.

I bought a gross (kidding) of them from Dollar Tree. I got a positive on them when I was one day late with my period. It was a very faint line, but it was there. I kept using them each day for another 5 days or so, and the line just kept getting darker.

Good luck!!!

I only got false negatives on the dollar store brands. I took a few and they were all neg, then I got a clear blue easy digital double pack, first one came back positive at night on the day my period was due. I took the second one in the morning, and it was also positive. Then I went to the doctors for a Urine confirmation, and it was so faint of a line they said it was negative. the blood test did confirm though that I was indeed pregnant. The women that drew my blood said that with LOT of women it won't show up until they are at least 8 weeks along!

Take a look at this website.  I used a dollar tree test the day I found out I was pg and it came out with a faint positive.
