I bought a no name one and it showed positive and I am now 10 weeks pregnant so it worked for me. But I think that ept is best it stands for error proof test and is supposed to be 99% accurate. Good luck!~ erica.

I like first response best. My epts never came out clear Sad


but hey.. Im wondering, u said uve always used.. Like uve bought preg. Tests frequently...So u must worry your pregnant alot..But u say all the guys wear condoms and your on birth control so it seems like u shouldnt have to be buyin preg. Tests too often at all....Even havin to do it a few times at 16.. Doesnt that tell u something? And I mean u are the one a few girls including myself have been debating with thats been sayin ur ready for a baby etc.. So it does seem to me that ur tryin, though u say u arent. But if ur havin to buy preg. Tests all the time at 16 then maybe it means u need to slow down or be even more careful.

Its prolly not that she is trying .... Prolly jsut that she doesnt mind if she happens to become pregnant .... Condoms arent 100% and neither is bc which if both are used im sure that u shouldnt become preg. But maybe she just gets symptoms, she thinks may be preg related and takes one just to make sure..... Or has been late before and like any other person would take one.... I dunno thats just how I see it...... But it could also be that she is trying ... Anywho take care an goodluck to both of u
