Clearblue of first response?

So I'm going to cave and embrace my control freak instincts by testing the day before my OTD which is this coming Friday!! Anyone know which is best, I've heard some people swear by first response as they have an earlier detection??

Please let me know if you have any experience of this, last time I bought a pregnancy test was about 10 years ago

We got told our first attempt had failed after our first bloods but to do a test one week later so I did as I was told and it came back 1-2 weeks pregnant we are now 8 weeks 2 days and can't wait to get to 12 weeks and then I guess we will nerves until 20 weeks and probably for the rest of our lives but isn't that what we all want, I can't wait 😁😁 good luck fingers crossed for you xx

I used clear blue digital with one of those indicators which tells you how many weeks you are. I tested 9dp5dt and it came up BFP 1 - 2 wks. I used the second test a couple of days later (day before OTD) and it had increased to 2 - 3 weeks which I found comforting. I have heard some people say that first response is more accurate though. Good luck

I hate Clearblue digital- that 'Not Pregnant' screen is so harsh. First Response 6 days Early picked up my BFP when Clearblue digital didn't. Good luck!

Yeah that would be a slap in the face having the stick say Not pregnant lol. Hope you and your twins are doing well πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά xx

Hi JoJo,

I didn't really have any symptoms, only tender boobs which I already had anyway from the drugs. Morning sickness kicked in at 5w+3 and now I feel awful with morning sickness that lasts 24/7! However, I'm not complaining as I know it's a good sign but I do feel terrible. I have my confirmation scan tomorrow morning, Eeeek! xxx

Hope you are hanging in there ok. I found the last part of the 2ww truly horrendous, I couldn't sleep or concentrate on anything and I drove myself mad. I found a couple of hypnosis tracks on you tube really useful and I'm still using them now to help me when I get anxious.
