Default HPT'S which one is best in Australia?

I have bought HPT's before and I am currently using the strip kind from saveontests.com, my question is, from the HPT's available OTC which one do you think is the best to pick up early hCG?

These are the ones available in Australia:

Answer, Clearblue One Step, Clearview, Crystal Clear,
Discover Onestep, Dotest, Fortel and Pregnosis.


I want to go and buy another brand to test to see if I am seeing the second line or not but unsure which one I should buy.

Any thoughts??

Thanks n Hugs!
Mandi

ARE U SEEING A SECOND LINE?!?!?!??!?
If you are.....then you ARE!!
I am trying to think back to the pg test I used with ds. To be honest I think I've used nearly every brand you've listed there over the past 3 years.
Now from memory I think Pregnosis and Discover Onestep are good.
Now...when you do this second test, I want to know what the result is!! That's really exciting.
Take Care

Hi Mandie!!

I agree with Amy75, if your seeing a second line then it's a line!!!!

For my first test I used ClearBlue easy, and then used 5 other different brands also (I know I'm crazy but I couldn't belive I was preggers!)

They all came up with that SECOND line immediately and I was 13dpo when I first tested.

If you want a more clear explaination you can go to this web address and it can tell you how sensitive pregnancy tests are.

www.fertilityplus.org

Congrats, Good Luck and take Care!!

Lets hope this is another Aussie baby!! I hope to see you on the preggers board soon

Thumbs up WOOOHOOOOOOOOO

Hi Mandi

If your seeing a second line I reckon it's a positive!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!

I was just about to post in here a smiliar question because on Friday I took a HPT just the standered Clear Blue one, and I got a faint positive. After much deliberation and looking at every angle I knew I wasnt imangining that second line. I was thinking about buying another brand but instead I have made an appointment with my doc to do a blood test.

GOOD LUCK MANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heaps of big positive thoughts!!!!

Love
Ange

Hey Mandi,

Just wanted to wish you luck - are you going to ask your dr for a blood test on Thursday???

I don't know too much about the different tests, (I've got a heap of Saveontests brand at the moment)... but I seem to remember Fortel detects over 50mg - so thats not very sensitive.... Saveontests strips are meant to detect 25mg....

Anyway - best of luck!!

gg - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Let us know how you go at your dr appt!!!! What great news!!!! Sticky thoughts xxx

Tollee

Way to go GG!!!!! Make sure you let me know how you get on with your blood test!! It sure sounds like you are pregnant!! (I can' wait for the day when my doctor actually says that to me lol)

Tollee I am going to beg if I have to, to get the dr to do a bloodtest on me!!!

The 2nd line has definately been there, my fiancee saw it without having to squint LOL, and as I am a compulsive tester (thank goodness I bought in bulk otherwise it would be costing me an absolute fortune) I have been testing everyday....BUT .... I worked it out last night ... I am only 7dpo today!! Thats why I am still a bit apprehensive and want to buy another brand of test to see if it shows up on that one as well. I even tried to take photos of it with the webcam but even though we can see the line, it won't show up properly on the photo. grrrrrr LOL

Anyway heaps and heaps of babydust to you all!!!

Hugs n' Stuff
Mandi

GG!! I am sitting here stunned sweety!! I am so very sorry that it came back -

I am starting to think that I'm not pregnant either... not sure why though as I am feeling pretty horrid at the moment, very very nauseas and really sore bb's!!

Anyway I have forbidden myself to test anymore, its not going to make me any saner by doing it! Will just have to wait for Thursday to ask Dr for the blood test.

Hugest Hugs GG!!! Please smile, it will happen for you real soon!! *~*~*Babydust*~*~*

take care
luv
