I had a couple of late periods in college and I totally panicked (despite being on birth control.. I'm crazy like that!) and those three minutes were torture!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315872 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:12:02 +0000 mrs. bird 315872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea they made those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315866 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:07:07 +0000 AprilK 315866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: It is definitely a play on somone's frantic emotions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315555 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:27:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 315555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guessing those are more for people who aren't trying and are hoping for a negative? Like, someone who all of a sudden is like, oh crap, my period should have started by now, and would be in a rush to find out, you know? So they wouldn't think of it until they were late anyway, and want to know fast.<br /> I still think it's silly because 3 minutes is really fast, but I bet they can sell it for more by playing on someone's frantic emotions.<br /> That's my take anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315214 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:12:35 +0000 pinkcupcake 315214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that's weird! I'd much rather know earlier than know 2 minutes quicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315210 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:11:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 315210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I would much rather use a more sensitive test and wait an extra two minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315162 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 09:58:34 +0000 Alivoo01 315162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is odd. Most women want to know ASAP!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-seen-the-first-response-rapid-response-test#post-315149 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 09:52:45 +0000 AprilK 315149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I was looking at the pregnancy test box that I have last night, doing some calculations in my head if it would even be accurate last night, and noticed something really odd. I accidentally picked up a "rapid response" test rather than the normal "early detection" one from first response. (I am terrible at picking up the slightly wrong thing, I don't pay enough attention to packaging!)</p> <p>So the test is effective on the first day of your missed period, or after, but gives you a result in only one minute. Whereas the early detection test gives you a result in three minutes, but can detect pregnancy up to six days before AF is missed.</p> <p>This does not make any sense to me. I mean, sure maybe there is a small market for people who are late and want to know ASAP. But it just seemed crazy to give up 6 days of knowing for 2 minutes faster in test results!! 3 minutes is really not that long. </p>
