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!)

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.

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.
