Just wondering if there's a difference in sensitivity between First Response and EPT (I've heard that the blue ink ones aren't as reliable?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28318 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:06:52 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 28318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^ This. I once drove myself crazy because I plucked a test out of the trash and saw a faint line! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28302 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:33:21 +0000 tequiero21 28302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i heard you can't trust the lines that pop up after the designated time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28297 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:22:52 +0000 junebugmama 28297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I hate when stuff happens that makes you question what's really going on. Blah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28290 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:16:16 +0000 cyneswith 28290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's within the dates. If it's the only bad one, I probably won't bother calling. BUT if another one is faulty, I'll definitely do something about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28271 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:20:21 +0000 sbjmorgan 28271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There should be an expiration date on the box, I'd check it. If it's still in date, call them up. They should either send you free tests or a coupon for free tests! That sounds completely defective, how disappointing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-hpts#post-28246 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:43:09 +0000 cyneswith 28246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a pregnancy test WAY early - First Response. Neither line showed up, so I put the stick away in case the whole box is full of duds. Few hours later, there were two super-faint lines. So I got an EPT test. Lines showed up like normal, but not pregnant.</p> <p>I don't plan on testing again until my period is late, but now I'm curious. Are First Response more sensitive than EPT? When not duds - I know the First Response one was faulty. </p>
