A pregnancy test is a pregnancy test. I bought a $2 one from Dollar General and it worked fine. All its doing is testing to see if there is a hormone present in your urine. ALL pregnancy tests do this. Its just the more expensive they are, the more convenient features they may have.

Yes and no. I was at least a week before my period was due but I had all the symptoms and my husband was convinced I was pregnant. I had a $4 from the dollar store and I took it on a Saturday morning. It was a faint positive, but it was there. Then I ran out and bought 2 first response tests. I took one and again it was positive. I called and made an appt to have it tested professionally, but it required waiting til the following Wednesday. That Sunday evening I was convinced both the tests were wrong and there was no way I was pregnant. Even though I was still a week before my period and I wasn't using first morning urine, I went ahead and took the other first response. It still showed up positive, but not as bright at the one I had taken Saturday morning. I also took the other dollar store test and it was again postive as well, just a bit more faint. So, they do work, but if you are really early before your period, you may get a false negative. Wait a few days and test again. Good luck!

Trust me, they work 100%. When I first tested, I used first response, and it was negative, but I believed I had tested too soon, so a week after my period was suppose to come I tested with one from the dollar store, and it was positive. My son is 4 months old today.

Yes but sometimes they're not as sensitive as the expensive tests so you can't test as early with a $1 store HPT.
They work fine as long as you're at least 1 day late.
Good luck.

They work just the same. My friends buy those tests. I buy them for about the same price on-line (www.early-pregnancy-tests.com), and my first test taken at 7 days past ovulation came out with a very faint positive, and the EPT that I had came out negative, so the price has nothing to do with it.

Yes, I've known several women who've used them and they were accurate.

whenever I bought one from anywhere I always bought 2 and took both to see if they were accurate!
