Try the equate brand from walmart!!! I got my + at 9dpo last time. I have gotten ALL of my BFP's (on all 4 pregnancies) on these tests. I have also looked them up on google and found tons of positive comments on them!!! There has been a rumor that they are not as sensitive as some of the other tests, but the company says they detect at least 25miu of hcg (which is the same as the other early tests). My experience has been that they still detect much less than the 25.

Good luck!!! I haven't heard anything about the Target tests, but, like you I've had better luck with tests other than FRER. KUP! I wish we could've seen pics! When you get the new tests, can we see pics then ??? BFP dust heading your way!!!!

Thanks! I had used Equates with my first 2 but had heard some bad things about them a few years back, I am willing to try again.
Are they blue or red dye now?
I wish I could get the line to show on a pic! Its just a blur, I stink at test pics! I need to figure out the setting to make it clearer

I've gotten negatives on target tests when I wasn't pregnant, and blaring positives when I was.... so I can't say anything bad about them! But if it's been posted, I'm sure it's happened.
Good luck!

If you have a digital camera the setting for cler close ups, is called macro. It is a little picture of a flower...
Should look something like this (The right button)...

Jenni I really hope this is your month but on the target website numerous women and men! are complaining about false ++ on the reviews of these tests
Pregnancy Test - 3 pk. : Target
Quote:
Absolutely False Positive
Reviewer: Dan Schwartz "Seagal Enthusiast" See all my reviews
Real Name
After reading multiple reviews on how the test consistent reveals false positives I thought I would invest [price] and try out the test when I did not anticipate to be pregnant. I bought the test, and tested my stream for a good five seconds, and behold it was positive. I was pregnant, but here is the kicker...I am a man!

I had 3 tell me +++ in the past and they were wrong. I wish I still had the pics.

well its a bummer to hear that men are getting BFP on those tests! I took 2 more test from dollar general. One was a $4 and $1 one, the a $4 one had no line at all and the $1 one has a veryyyy light line. I am trying not to get excited either way...
I double checked and period is not due til friday or saterday.

I've never used the Target brand. I do know I don't like blue dye tests. I've had a false positive on a EPT. Good luck. I have my fingers crossed for you!

I hope one of the other tests confirms for you soon!!
I never used the Target tests, have looked at them, but always went back to FRER, or my internet cheapies.

I took 2 more tests today, both BFN. First time I have ever gotten a false positive on any test. Major let down!
one of the BFP was and Answer today and I used them with the last preg/loss and got a BFP when my hcg was 5!
