Joy at Home Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Waste of money or not? Just wondering ;) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have bought them and they have always been right for me. Everytime I test postive I was pregnant and everytime I tested negative I wasn't pregnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Why not buy a bunch and do a science project and let us know. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moniksca Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 My doctor told me about them when I was trying to get pregnant with my second, one of the nurses tested them out, so I bought a bunch and it worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Definitely not a waste of money. :D But you do know you have to share the results with the Hive now, don't you? ;) It's our fee for doling out such helpful answers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I used them and they were reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritaserum Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I love Dollar Tree tests. They've always been accurate for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5forMe Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Usually accurate and good luck!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, they work fine! If you want them even cheaper, and like to buy in bulk :D, try www.saveontests.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipsnsnailsx5 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 They work! And they are great for not wanting to waste money if you're not sure you are PG or not. However they should be followed up with another PG test non-Dollar store. ;) I've used a lot of them, and while reports say that they are as sensitive as the other early pregnancy tests...I've found that my lines are SUPER faint on a dollar store test, when I'll test with another brand the next day and it will be much darker. I have example pictures with this pregnancy. Dollar store: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/bethanbabes/30911_04.jpg Safeway brand similar to First Reponse Early (later that day): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/bethanbabes/31111_01.jpg (check out babyhopes.com and peeonastick.com for PG test sensitivity levels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeviolin Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 They've worked fine for me. The line can take a bit longer to appear (still within the time limit). Other tests, the line usually appears as the urine passes the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Strawberry Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Pink ink! Pink ink is better than blue. I have had very good results with dollar tree tests and the bulk dip strips. The dip strips are the ones that are used in doctor's offices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennynd Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 when i desperately tryto pg with my second, I read on the website peeonstick.com They show u diff brand including dollar store. doesn't make much differnt than name brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was trying to conceive, I frequented a forum with a lot of other women ttc, and there were a ton of blue evaporation lines that looked like positives. I bought in bulk from saveontests. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had no idea I'm not the only neurotic one who takes repeated tests, lol! I went through so many tests with my earlier pregnancies, I wish I had known the dollar store sold them. With all my pregancies, the first few were always negative, even though afterward I calculated to be a good three to four weeks pregnant at the time. I guess it just takes a while for the levels to build up? I actually am pretty sure I'm not pregnant. Dh had a vastectomy after our last. He never went back for any of his follow-ups, though. It's just that lately I've been so fatigued and having nausea constantly, I let my imagination run away with me:001_smile: Needless to say, the test was negative (but you can be sure I'll retest because, after all, you can't buy just one when they're that cheep). You know, after dh had his vastectomy, I was depressed and sad for a long time thinking we were done. I yearned for another precious baby and mourned the fact that it would never be again. Lately, however, I've been feeling very content, enjoying the fact that my youngest is almost five and the days are much easier without the constant demands of a baby. But boy, the second I think that maybe by some miracle I could be pregnant, the joy floods back and I'm filled with excitement and hope. Holding a baby, the smell, everything. Like I said, it would be extremely unlikely. But, hey, a lady can dream a little, can't she? And with a bag of pg tests in my closet, I figure I can obsess for a good few weeks;) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
