BEST & WORST PREGNANCY TESTS | BEFORE MISSED PERIOD 11DPO | JAKS Journey [CC]

I tested a bunch of pregnancy tests to figure out which one detects early pregnancy first and which ones fail. I am testing 6dp5dt after a frozen embryo transfer or 11DPO(days past ovulation). This would have been the equivalent of 3 days before my missed period and was 6 days before my 12 day post transfer blood work.

[@JAKSJourney]

Aww Sarah thank you so much. I am so sorry that you had to go it alone. The original goal of my channel was to make sure no one felt like they were all alone in their infertility journey and I am delighted every time I can offer even a little bit of help to the wonderful ladies of this community.

[@Grave_bane]

thank you! i bought 2 equate digital tests yesterday and i’m glad i made a good choice!

[@amberjones1615]

I know your definitely pregnant and congratulations but I couldn't see any lines on any of the regular tests. Maybe because they were very faint. This is great that you did this because it goes to show that many women won't show a strong positive even at 11 dpo on the regular tests. Looks like the Equate Digital is the way to go when your testing. Great video 👍

[@JAKSJourney]

Absolutely! Those classic tests were super disappointing especially compared to the cheapie tests. It is suuuuuper early to be testing but it is crazy how sensitive some of those tests were. Thanks for watching and commenting Amber.

[@montzemayo]

So awesome you took so many tests, makes me feel like I’m not the only one 😅

[@haileyberkenpas5448]

I got my positive at 10 DPO and I saw a very faint line on a cheap strip test so I took a clear blue and it was PREGNANT! I was so excited. The equate digital actually gave me two negatives. I’m 9 weeks now but I think it’s interesting how we got different results!

[@Kailaandshia]

Yeah clinical guard is my go to then there’s the equate 😍! Great video !!!! It satisfies my old testing fetish lol

I JUST took 2 digital clear blue tests and both of them gave me the “error” message with the book 😂 definitely going back to the store for some equate tests instead!

[@JAKSJourney]

Ughgh I have heard multiple people with experiences like that. It seems like it is never just one in the box; it is all of them that give an error message.

Cool! Always done pink dye or equate tests

I wish you had tested the like dropper tests like the dollar store one or the one they use in the hospitals

Just received my faint positive at 9 DPO using Pregmate's test! Confirmed with Walgreen's Early Response (pink dye) and a faint positive appeared... and then oddly disappeared as I waited for my husband to come home and surprise him. Very strange. The next morning my Walgreen's early response test stayed positive throughout the day. Anyone else had this experience?

[@loveandfaith5163]

I really love the Easy@home cheapies I'm 9+1 weeks and got a faint line on Easy@home at 10dpo which got darker each day. Also love clinical guard.

[@sallys2487]

Hi! How long was the urine sitting out for when you tested it again with all of the tests in the video? Was it uncovered? Refrigerated? etc...

[@lizzielee134]

Just wanted to say I do not personally like the equate test because I had several test come up positive but ended up me not being pregnant so you have to be careful with those. I do love the cheap ones cuz that's how I found out that I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago but when it comes to the clear blue digital it won't register until you are farther along kind of a hit and miss with those. But I'm happy you did this I thank you cuz that does help a lot of us people who can't afford to buy pregnancy test all the time so I thank you very much ☺️

[@Mickayla636]

It’s so crazy to me how every women gets such a different result/experience. I got very clear positives on clear blue regular test and even their digital before my missed period. Stark white negatives on ALL the first response ones I took until nearly 6 days past my missed period. Currently 36 weeks pregnant. But I had the same experience with all 3 of my pregnancies. Clear blue will always be my go to. The equate brand actually gave me a positive just as early as the clear blue it was just super faint.

[@JAKSJourney]

Thanks for sharing your experience with different tests!

[@cassiforest9191]

I didn't know much about the difference in blue and pink dye tests. Thanks for the info! 9DPO today and just got a negative on a clear blue digital planning to try again in a few days 🤞 but my next box of tests will be First Repsonse for sure.

[@bannerfiona]

@@JAKSJourney Well since I'm here I'll say I've always had a love for the cheap pregnancy tests, they've been great for detecting pregnancy one day after a missed period, I have tried the digital clear blue ones and I think they are overpriced plus you lose the "pregnant" result, I'm super sentimental and keep positive pregnancy tests.

[@lissettemoncada3482]

I used dollar 3 brand when I was one week late and the line almost looked traced on

There two of them said pregnancy test said pregnant

[@whyyouwannaknowmyname4598]

Me neither.... maybe she filmed it too early instead of waiting the 2 minutes!?

[@JAKSJourney]

All tests were filmed after waiting the designated time by the manufacturer instructions. All lines were light because this was literally the earliest possible day to get a positive. This allowed me to determine which test were absolutely the most sensitive.

[@annngggx]

i got my first positive with a pregmate test at 11 DPO and then tested that same day with first response and it showed up too. clear blue digital said “pregnant” at 15 DPO. 31wks+5 currently! ☺️

[@CB-jv6cj]

Clear blue is definitely not great. Before I miscarried I got told (by the customer service of clearblue), that they indeed don't pick it up early at all. I had such low levels hcg that they couldn't pick up on it but all of the dye tests could. Including the clear blue dye test that's meant to pick up from the same amount as the digital.

[@JAKSJourney]

Thanks for sharing you experience!

[@CB-jv6cj]

I found out today that all of clearblue isn't great 😂 I've been getting amazing bfps but the blue dye tests are sooo bad 😅

[@a.8901]

I had a VERY faint second line on my first response early detection test but everyone keeps saying it’s the evap line when it was within the timeframe so I have no idea. I did take a clearblue digital test and it said not pregnant. Seeing that some do say pregnant when clearblue doesn’t kinda gives me some hope.

Update: 😔 I’m not pregnant yet

For the clear blue digital you have to dip it for 20 seconds not 5 seconds so that could be the reason

Double checked the instructions for the Clear Blue Digital I used and it says 5 seconds. I vaguely recall older versions were 15sec.

@@JAKSJourney Clearblue Digital tests go in urine stream for 5 seconds. But, if you are dipping in a collected urine sample, you place it in the sample for 20 seconds.

[@inkheart6323]

I took a first respond digital test and it was positive the next morning I took a clear blue digital test and it was negative I am still very early on the my period isn’t due for 4 days how do I know if I’m pregnant

[@JAKSJourney]

So one of two things happened. 1) you are pregnant and the first response is more sensitive than the clear blue(that is what I found to me true in this experiment. 2) You experienced a chemical pregnancy where an embryo implanted for a short period of time but didn't stick. The most sure fire way to know if you are pregnant is to wait until the day of your missed period and test again. All tests should give you a clear positive by then. Each day your HCG levels will rise so you will get a stronger and stronger result.

[@itsbubbles4021]

The blue dye are only reliable when hcg is higher

[@JAKSJourney]

Agreed!!
