Can we have a discussion? Pink dye vs Blue dye battle!

Question

I’ve seen a lot of post with comments saying use “pink dye” when someone post a blue dye pregnancy test. 
I’ve seen multiple indents/evap lines on pink dye pregnancy test and also some false positives. 
Why do we not trust “blue dyes”, if they’re so bad why do people keep buying them? 
Why is it that one of the most popular pregnancy test brands in the world use blue dye if blue dyes are known to be the most inaccurate? 
I guess if you’re posting a blue dye test that you’ve just spent ££/$$ on a brand like “ClearBlue” the first thing you’re not going to want to hear is use “pink dye”. 
I used to advise this because I would also tend to by pink dyes but why are we not giving blue dyes the same energy. 
Y’all might be like mind your own business 🤣 but I don’t care 🤣

Answer

Blue dyes are absolutely horrible, due to the “blue” dye it causes false positives and what I call “instant evaps”, bad out of time evaps. ClearBlue is a “shitty” brand, they even came out with a pink dye ClearBlue and it is just as bad and a regular blue dye. I never recommend using a blue dye test due to these issues and I honestly wish they would stop selling them, and women stop buying them. As far a pink dye goes it is a lot better than blue but even pinks can have issues. Especially First Response for last few years have horrible “indents” and false positives. I never recommend First Response anymore. I personally like the Pregmate brand, opks and hpt. They have been the most reliable over last couple years. I also used to like cheapie Walmart 88 cent tests, but they leave bad indents/evaps almost every time. With all that said, if your testing early it is best to use a pink dye! ClearBlue & First Response and especially Equate brand are “main” pregnancy tests sold but are total trash.

Answer

I say any pink dye because I have had 4 false positive on blue dyes different brand tests when I knew I couldn’t be pregnant also bought the same blue 4 different brand tests again and tested with just water and guess what they had lines and even darker then done with urine. I agree with first response being bad with indents so I always says any pink dye test.

Answer

Personally every pink or blue dye tests can give indents fr are so bad for them atm. So I think use what ever tests ya want they can all tell you if your pregnant or not if you wait to out till your late ... baby dust to everyone TTC 🙏🥰

Answer

Honestly blue dye tests you get at stores are so awful. I have had SO many false positives with them and almost every woman I know has had a false positive with them too. I’ve never had any problems with the first response pink dye ones.

Answer

I’ve used both! I definitely think pink dye is easier to detect, especially if it’s a faint line. I only use the blue dye when I want a digital test and I just end up using the blue dye that comes with the digital.

Answer

I say pink dye also , I had a false BFP on a blue dye

Answer

Depends on the brand really. EPT blue dye has been accurate in my previous pregnancy. While Walgreens blue dye gave me false positives.

Answer

Pink dye test because they're more accurate and less likely to give indents. But of course there's a possibility they both can!

Answer

I've noticed alot of people say saying "Get a FR" "retest with a Fr" but yet these same people will claim something is an indent on those ALOT...So what really makes them any better? Just my thoughts
