Great when used correctly..., January 25, 2008
This review is from: First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 3 tests (Health and Beauty)
I know the box says you can get a positive up to 5 days before your missed period, but everyone needs to understand that you CANNOT get a positive until after implantation occurs. This might happen early... but it also might not. Read the directions and the percentage of women who actually get a positive 5 or even 4 days early. I didn't get a positive with my son until AFTER I was a day late and with my daughter it was only 1 day early.

Accurate Pregnancy Test!, April 15, 2002
This review is from: First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 3 tests (Health and Beauty)
I missed my period & tried First Response Pregnancy Test. What showed is a very faint pink line which the instructions said is POSITIVE! I went to the doc who took my urine test & the doc said it's negative. I thought this product [stinks]. But then I still didn't have my period so after 3 days my doc took my urine sample again & took my blood and yup! I'm really POSITIVE! That means this First Response Pregnancy Test really works! It beats my doc's pregnancy tests!

More like "third response....", March 16, 2011
This review is from: First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 3 tests (Health and Beauty)
I bought these tests because most of the reviews and the manufacturer themselves claim that they are "the most sensitive on the market." I have to COMPLETELY disagree. I took this test a day before my missed period (NEGATIVE), the day of my missed period (NEGATIVE), two days after my missed period (NEGATIVE), and three days after my missed period (NEGATIVE).
I'm already a mom and have been pregnant before, and suspecting that I indeed was again, I decided to try a different test, E.P.T, on the third day of my missed period (immediately after I got the negative from the First Response). I got a VERY faint plus sign using the E.P.T., but a plus sign nonetheless (POSITIVE). To confirm, I tested the next morning with two other brands (ClearBlue and Generic), and also got positive results (this time much clearer and more obvious). For kicks, I tested with another First Response at the same time as I tested with the ClearBlue and Generic, and was appalled to see that it was still negative and obviously incorrect at this point.
I am fairly well educated on the subject of pregnancy and pregnancy testing, and I know all about implantation and the reasons why a pregnancy test can be negative for a few days after a missed period before it turns positive. I understand that first of the morning urine has the highest levels of HCG, and always made sure to test first thing in the morning. What I will never understand is why a test that is supposed to be so "ultra sensitive" didn't pick up on my pregnancy when literally every other test did. I finally got the FAINTEST positive on the First Response when I used the last test I had this morning, 5 days past my expected period. Bizarre.
I'm just glad that there are other brands out there that could easily confirm my suspicions, despite spending a small fortune on pregnancy tests. :-)
