Advantages: easy to use, extremely cheap, Very early accurate results Disadvantages: A right devil to open, which way the window should be on, Using the second one before I went back to the bin to retrieve the first one, what I would have done with the second one though,I haven't a clue
...would be totally wrong. First response, normally a totally reliable brand, is one that can detect the pregnancy hormone HCG at a very early stage, in this case it states that it can detect HCG as soon as the day before your period is due. Imagine the scene, Mrs wishywalshy anxious to discover whether her feelings were true or not, I might be or I might not. One quick piddle on the stick should provide the answer once and for always. Planned from ... ...our family. The box is nicely sealed in a cellophane wrap, not that anyone would want to pre pee on it, but you can never be sure LOL. On opening the box, the instructions seem to be quite straightforward; either wee on the stick for a second, or wee into a receptacle and dip the stick for a couple of seconds. Now you would have thought that with my old hand experience even I could do this with out a glitch. Now comes the fun bit, unwrapping the ...

Advantages: Comparable in price to other pregnancy tests Disadvantages: It does not always give accurate results
...I’m going to talk about First Response – a test that failed me when it most mattered with (as yet) unknown consequences.
++ WHY FIRST RESPONSE? ++
First Response is so-called because it claims to be able to tell you if you are pregnant up to three days before your expected period. Most other pregnancy tests have to be done after your due date. Theoretically then, if you are desperate to know if you are pregnant, this test should be able to tell ... ...… ++
The First Response test claims to be 99% accurate. In my experience, it was not that (unless I am the 1%!). I was keen to know as early as possible if I was pregnant, because I planned on taking some valium for a flight and later in the week to have a few drinks. The First Response test said that I was not pregnant. So, I took the valium and alcohol. It turns out that I am pregnant, so now I face huge amounts of anxiety about whether the valium ...

Advantages: Very accurate and can test BEFORE period due Disadvantages: Quite pricey
...want to call it, my first child is on it’s way! Hindsight is a great thing now that I wish that I had bought this test first, but I didn’t as it was the most expensive (£8.75 Boots) and when you feel fairly sure that there is a visitor in your tummy you tend to plump for cheap and cheerful, just to confirm your thoughts, unfortunately for me, cheap and cheerful was inaccurate for me this time so it cost me twice as much in the end!
First Response ... ...reason that they are cheaper.
First Response can also be used at any time of day, not just the morning and claims that it is as accurate as any doctors test, being over 99% accurate in laboratory tests
The test itself was very straightforward, just remove the stick from it’s wrapper, take off the cap, hold it either in the urine stream for 5 seconds or dip it into a sample you have collected in a dry cup previously for 5 seconds, replace the cap ...

Advantages: Easy to use - Early results Disadvantages: A bit more expensive (but worth it!)
...a name I trusted - First Response. I had heard good things about it on a pregnancy message board I visited, but didn't buy it at first because I thought a different brand would give me the result sooner. I should have gone with my instincts because the First Response showed a positive result the first try! It was easy to use - just dip the stick in the urine stream and wait a few minutes. You don't have to collect urine in a cup and pour, which can ... ...can't rely on the results until you have missed your period. I just couldn't wait and was willing to keep buying tests until I got a positve or started my period!
I will definately buy First Repsonse again if the need ever arises! ...

Advantages: Reliable, Easy To Use, Good Value For Money Disadvantages: None
First response for me has to be the most reliable pregnancy test on the market. Not only is it reasonably priced this test can be used up to 4 days before your period is due. I used this test 3 days before my period was due and it was at night and i got a clear positive result. I find this test reliable, good value for money and quick and simple to use. I've never had a false positive or a false negetive result while using this test and i would reccomend ...

...to my period and the first test came back negative so the next morning I did another and that showed a very very faint positive, but because I felt the test was on the cheap side and was a dipstick one I thought this may not be accurate, Anyway another day passed and still feeling pregnant you know when, you know you are I decided to buy 1st Response at Boots £11.29 folks buy one double pack get a single pack free, Anyway raced home this is now 2 ... ...thought maybe I need the first morning urine so the next morning I did another it showed a very very ghostly pink line I mean you had to hold it at the window and look very hard, I had my husband looking and telling me I had gone completely mad, So at this point I thought stuff it you have gone mad !!

Why can I test earlier with First Response Pregnancy Test than with any other pregnancy ... more
test?The First Response test is so sensitive that most pregnant women have enough of the pregnancy hormone, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), to be detected as early as6days before their expected period. Therefore, you can use theFirst Response Early Pregnancy Testas early as6days before you expect your period. For example, if you expect your period on the 21st day of the month, you can test as early as the 17th day of the month.The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses. In clinical testing, First Response detected hormone levels consistent with pregnancy in 62% of women 5 days before their expected period, in 78% of women 4 days before their expected period, in 87% of women 3 days before their expected period and in 98% of women 2 days before their expected period. Note that hormone levels may vary.
