i really wouldn't trust a dollar store test. i would go to planned parenthood before relying upon one from the dollar store. blood test? what? usually it is urine to test for pregnancy at home...

That test is 50 miu and is an okay test. It may not detect it if you are under 1 month pregnant. you may need a test that is 20-25 miu because the lower the miu number, the more sensitive. The miu number will not be on the box itself, I had to look it up online and understand all that stuff last week. The 5 days sooner tests are the ones that you need and price makes a difference. DONT buy the walgreens one because thats 100 miu and its $9.00! I made that mistake the first time.

My OB actually told me about this recently. Her answer was "If you take a home pregnancy test and it tells you you are pregnant, you are. Unless you got it from the dollar store" Splurge, get a real pregnancy test, from a drug store or supermarket. There is a reason those tests are being sold in the dollar store.

Well, I wouldn't necessary use the $1.00 test as a definitive answer. I would find $15 to buy a better test. But you should take the test first thing with first morning urine, it has the most amount of hormones in it that will determine if you are pregnant.

my sister took a test from the dollar store and it was right. if you took one and it came out negative wait about 2 weeks....if you still don't get your period then take another test. sometimes your hormone levels aren't high enough to show up on a pregnancy test till you are farther along. i hope you get the results you want :)

If it said positive then odds are you are pregnant. The pregnancy hormone is very strong. If it says negative it could be too early so wait a week and retest. Just to be satisfied I would buy a more popular brand. Good Luck!

Cheap tests are just as reliable as expensive ones...but the expensive ones sometimes work earlier in your cycle to detect pregnancy.
My gyno told me this. He said he uses cheap tests in his office becuse they are just as good. He told me not to waste my money on something more than a couple of dollars.
