Q: Are expensive pregnancy tests better ?

Hey guys! I mean really...is the more expensive brand really better than the off brand? Does the more expensive brand tell you sooner or detect smaller amounts of hcg? Do any of you know for sure!?! Thanks guys:o)

God bless,

Teresa

i tested with an ept and a walmart brand test just to see the difference, and there was none! I got the same result with both test. And actually, my line on the walmart brand test was darker!

All pregnancy tests, whether it be dollar store tests or 20 dollar tests, test the exact same hormone and are JUST as reliable. The only difference is the way that you read the test (digital? plus sign? lines?), and how much of the hormone they detect (early response ones can detect pregnancy early while typical pregnancy tests detect it at the time of your missed period).
