I don't get it?

Hey girls, I found out yesterday on peeonastick.com that the $ store test BABY TEST & NEW TEST pick up at 25 or below! So of course I went and got one since it is very close to my house...Well still a BFN!! I was hungry and sleepy and had a few other symptoms earlier in the week so I assumed that AF was coming.....Nothing! Now all of those symptoms have disappeared?  I am 1 day late. I am going to try one more Monday and see how it goes :(

i am not sure how true that is because i used them and they would not read til after 100 hcg.  i used clear blue digitals and they read at a low number of 25.  i was only 9dpo when i got my bfp.  i also got a box of 5 of them for $18 at walmart.

Other then that website, where do you find out the level of HCG tested?  I read my box and pamphlet backwards and forwards and no where on that literature could I find it.

Leighanne- I know that the other one they have at the $ store called onestep only picks up at 100....I would be thrilled if it is 100 for that one though! I haven't had the time to drive to walmart. I might get my sister or someone to bring one by from there. Where I live is still being affected by a gas shortage since Gustav hit, so I'm trying to conserve gas...
I am starting to give up hope for this month...

bam- I haven't been able to find it anywhere in or on the boxes either..If you call the # on it though they will be able to tell you...On that site I go to it has all of them listed. She has done all of the research that I would never have the patience to do...lol

Okay, I'm bored, so I started doing more research on these tests...Here is a couple more sites that have the tests and their sensativities also...
fertilityplus.org
babyhopes.com
They all say that the BABY TEST picks up at 25 :(  A couple of the other test said some different levels though at each site....

well i hope you can get to wal mart soon because the clear blue digital is great and there is nothing better than seeing the word PREGNANT on that little stick.

many websites have the hcg levels but they are not very accurate.  the best bet is to get advise from other ladies.  like i know clear blue tests very low because i got a positive on it at 9dpo which is very early and then had my hcg levels drawn the next day and they were only at like 32, so i know the clear blue tests with a very low amount.

[steph9803]

Thanks, I will try that next month...AF just showed up :(  

[leighanne143]

evil AF.   do you track your ovulation?

[steph9803]

Not yet...I figure that if I'm not pregnant this time next month that I will start charting and maybe get some OPK's...I have ovarian cysts, fibroids, and endo...So I never have any pain that I could consider ovulation.  I would have to go by everything else which would all be new to me.  So I decided to give myself several months of trying without any added stress...I am praying that this time next month I won't have to think about that :D

For the babies I just lost I used the "Answer Brand" test and it was + so I called the dr & had blood draw that day and HCG level was at 30 so it picks up fairly early. Good luck to you!!!

[leighanne143]

steph- CM is another good way to track.

[steph9803]

Emptyinside- Thanks, that is pretty early!

Leighanne- I have been reading up on how to track CM and all. I want to be prepared if I have to go that route next month.

Also you can call the number on the box and ask them, that is what i usually do, and they tell me
