Walmart/dollar tests vs FRER
Okay so first off thanks ladies for all your help and amazing words of wisdom and encouragement🌸 today I going out I am pregnant!!!
But let me say I looked up and read in message boards about how great the $1 store tests were! But let me tell you they aren’t as great as people say!
Sooo two days ago I started testing but the box says that the result can take from 1-10 mins but after 10 mins it’s inclusive. So I figured I would give it like 5 mins to read and then I would get my result. So 5 mins goes by and I look at it and I don’t see anything but one line. Meaning to Us BFN!!!
So I do what we normally do and just throw it in the trash. Ready to test the next day.
Sooo the next day will I test again! And right away BFN so I thought okay okay I don’t start AF until tomorrow so no big deal. I go on YouTube and start looking what are the results of Walmart brand VS FRER and came across a video where a woman was getting the results like 10-15 min mark. She knew she was pregnant already but wanted t show how the dye had I basically settle in the test and kinda dry for the result to pop up.
So I walked over to the trash today and thought what hell let me compare because normally when mine are negative I

get no line at all later either it just stays negative.....
To my surprise they were all positive! The one from the day before had a lighter test line but the ones from an hour prior were dark in two lines. I thought đź’ NOOOOO WAY! I ran right out to target and got the $9 FRER but the quick results 1 min or something and ran into the store bathroom and tested for my own sanity. To my surprise right away I got positive result from SMU!
So long story short I say for now on I will always recommend the more pricey tests I feel they are more accurate. Or if you use the $1 ones make sure to wait the full 10 mins for the dye to totally dissipate into the test before you think you have a BFN
