First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 4 ct., 2 pk.

I have used nothing but first response test since conceiving my my daughter! It gave me a faint pink line at 9DPO and I never went back to any other tests! With my son it gave me a faint positive around 11DPO. Both very faint but both there. Both ended in successful pregnancies. We have been working on our third for 3 years now. I have never ever had an evap line with a first response test unless it sat for days. I buy a box a month. The last 3 boxes have given me evap lines, but because it was sitting for 30 minutes I toss them and don't think much about it. I purchased a box on Tuesday. I took the test on Thursday afternoon at 2:20 pm. The result is below. It popped up in a 4 minute window. I immediately got so excited. It's been 3 years and there it was! A second line in 4 minutes! I took the next text which resulted in another faint line! Fainter than the first one but still showed up in 3-4 minutes and showed up in photos. I went out and got another box to take the next day for reassurance. The first was negative. That night. Another negative. The next morning another negative. So there are definitely some defective boxes in the mix these days. It's my reason for a review. I don't hate this brand. I love them! But there are defective boxes on the market at the moment. I'm not sure if anything has changed since 2011 when we started using them.

These test used to be the most reliable. Then 2-3 years ago they changes and now you get false positives all the time. I would never recommend these test to anyone but especially someone struggling with infertility. These test would give someone false hope. My oldest child is coming up 20 and my youngest is 11 months old so it's been over 20 years using these tests. The quality has dropped dramatically.
