How accurate are dollar store brand pregnancy tests, I was supposed to start my period on Sunday?

Posted at August 31st, 2009 by admin

I am currently on Seasonique birth control, I was supposed to start my period on Sunday, it is now Wednesday. I took the pregnancy test and it was negative and I am assuming it is too early before my missed period to know whether it is accurate or not.. If anyone has any insight please let me know…. Will a first response test work better?

I believe in general most pregnancy tests are very accurate when showing a positive result, and not so much for a negative. That is to say the odds of a false positive are low and the odds of a false negative are much greater.

    Don’t worry about it. I once was late for like a week, and i was fine. I also panicked.. and caused it to be more late. Let it come when it does.

    I took one of those prego tests & it was right.
    it has a 99% accurate thing on it…

    best of luck.
