Yesterday, I rediscovered the Dollar General. I just happened up on the store by chance. Yesterday was only their 3rd day open. I stocked up on some cheap hurricane supplies: water, snacks, etc.
While checking out, I saw a whole stock of pregnancy tests. I was wondering: have you used one? Did it work? Are they are reliable as more expensive test?

No they don't. My friend and I for fun bought some because she is three months pregnant. And she took them. All five said negative. If I were you... i'd find something a little more reliable.

I was just curious LOL
That is sort of deceptive though. The hormone that those test are meant for are for people who are just pregnant, meaning their hCG levels would be - should be - a lot higher than someone who is 12 weeks or more along.

My daughter used one of those cheap pregnancy tests when she was pregnant 3 years ago. And it did work. It turned out she was pregnant.
