Are the first response really that much more sensitive than generic or dollar store pregnancy tests?

Question

pregnancy tests?" />

Answer

They both detect hcg at 20 miu...so they technically are both the same. There are some claims that FRER can detect 15 but I don't believe the manufacturer says this.

Answer

Not always. My dollar tree tests came back waaayy positive 3 days before a first response came back with even a faint line.

Answer

They definitely are. I had to wait until I was 5/6 weeks because it would show a strong positive on the dollar store test and that's the test doctors use. They wouldn't believe me even though I begged them to start giving me prenatal help. I didn't get it until I was almost 8 weeks and then lost the baby anyways. Sorry for the rant 😕🙄😒 but to answer your question first response is amazing at testing early. I was like 3 weeks when my test came back positive on first response
