Why not? You trust their tooth paste..it's just an accurate chemical mixture.

Beleive it or not, they actually work. Of course, you can't use them as soon as you would use something like the e-p-t test, but they really do work.
Pregnancy tests use the same chemicals around the board. The cheaper ones won't be able to detect the hormones as early. That's the only change. So wait until you know you're period should've been due or whatever, and then take it. Or else you might waste a dollar. :)

There's an expiration date on the box. If that date has passed, don't trust the test. If it has not passed, it won't matter where you got the test. It will be as reliable as one purchased from the biggest name drugstore in town - but at half the price!

Yes! They are good to use. If your only a few days pregnant thought they might now show up. Other than that..two weeks pregnant should show.
Some times they don't work with curtain people..but that doesn't happen very often.

Nope, the dollar store usually gets those things either after the expiration date on them or close to it. Therefore they're not as accurate as one from a drug store which aren't as accurate as one's from the doctor's office because in a doctor's office the pregnancy tests are "fresh" daily, they haven't sat on a shelf for weeks even months at a time. Those who purchase their's from a dollar store are simply lucky that the one they got was accurate. There is no guarantee that if they tried again it would be.

Yea, they work! All pregnancy tests on the market have a chance of being false. Because of where you buy it doesn't matter. My friend took it and it works.
Hope you get the results you want.

Actually many women that I know who have gotten pregnant and used dollar store tests swear by them. They no longer use anything but those dollar store tests and won't use the so called more expensive tests.

Well I wondered about that same question so I asked 2 pharmacist and they both said that they have the exact same thing to detect the preg hormone so that's straight from the horse's mouth.

I might try it out, but I would check the expiry date and the if the results and symptoms didn't match up, then I would get a second opinion, preferably from a doctor

I don't think I would trust it but my cousin did. It was correct; so I could be wrong. I just feel I should be spending more than a dollar on my unborn child.

yes there all just as good, some detect smaller amounts of hcg than others so read the back of the box for that info but there all the same accuracy no matter where you buy them
