View Full Version : Blue dye vs red dye- home pregnancy tests.
Which did you find worked better for you?
Did you have issues with evaporation lines with either type?

EPT worked for me, First Reponse did not. Oh, and I only use the kind that has a computerized answer, like "Yes" or "No." I can't stand the lines. I NEED SOMETHING DEFINTE!!

Either or with me to be honest.
CB always gave me good results and so did FR. I still have the sticks from when I found out I was having Sasha. Can still see all the lines.
The problem I had with the CB digital (though I did love it), was that after a day or 2, the battery ran out and now I have a blank screen.
But i LOVe that it gave me an idea of how pregnant I was. Lets see now if it was right.

I never had a problem with any pregnancy tests. I mostly used off-brand ones, and the lines were so dark that there was no mistaking that I was pregnant.
When I took the last one(when I found out I was pg with Zoe), I didn't even get a chance to put the stick onto the bathroom counter...the lines showed up almost immediately(and I curled up into a ball, moaning, "Noooooooooo!!" LOL).
I had difficulty with digital tests- infact clearblue digital was still reading negative on Dylan the week before her scan, she was 9.5 weeks at that scan!
I also get really weak readings on red dye tests (which is annoying as 90% of internet cheapies are red dye) - it took over a week of testing to get what we could all agree was a line with both Dyl and Loki- and I was 5/6 weeks with both of them at that point.

I've never used the digital - I think they'd just come out when I was pg with Treyce.....
I had no problems with any of them - but I think I used First Response for Kaylyn which was my earliest test. and I used one that made a plus sign for Kieran.
Love the digitals.
No wondering if it's an evap line or not. I took 2 the same day and then 4 normal ones the day after LOL.
