Every three weeks? Really??

I would wait until the 4th week to test. I always used EPT. They sometimes have 3 tests for the price of 2.

Wait til the 4th week at least, and I have always found success in using the digital Clear Blue tests. The First response test with the lines are worthless. Good Luck!

I used the tests from The Dollar Tree-allowed me to be a test-a-holic & not feel bad about spending $7-$8. A couple times, I even got a bonus when there were 2 tests in the box, lol. When I did get a positive, I went to CVS and bought a name brand digital test just to confirm. Also, the dollar tree tests must be pretty sensitive as I was testing every few days (my cycles are 30-50 days, extremely irregular), and it picked up the pregnancy when i was in my 3rd week (vag ultra sound 2-3 weeks later confirmed I was 6 weeks-had to do u/s to get due date since I am soooo irregular-according to my cycle, I should have been 9 weeks!)...good luck!

Ept definatly and don't test till the day your suppose to start if it comes out negative wait three to four days and test a gain and youmay have to test one more time to make sure unless your period starts also with ept. The slightest Plus is a positive.

I think you could possibly get a pos on the day you were supposed to start. Also the Dollar Tree has $1 tests( behind the check out) that are really very senstive and cost effective for those who are POS-aholics, ;) good luck! I would jsut not recommend the blue test with the lines they are FAR less sensitive than the others, and the digis are actually not very sensitive either.

hmm Every 3 weeks seems a little strange unless you do not have your period for long. You need to be a minimum of 9 DPO (days past ovulation). Implantation can happen up to around 12-14 DPO. It really depends on your cycle. You might want to try buying a basal thermometer and take your temp every morning at the same time and then use a charting website like Fertility Friend. It is free. They can also tell you approximately when you Ovulated. They suggest 2 weeks after Ovulation to allow for implantation. So if you Ovulated on Day 7 you should be able to test on day 21. I hope that helps. Good Luck.

As for tests. I have used everything in the book. With my first Pregnancy I used an Clearblue digital that said negative on the day my period was due and used a First Response 3 days later and it turned up Preggo almost immediately. It really all depends on when ovulation was. With my other pregnancies I have used the Equate, Target Brand, CVS brand, and a few other cheap brands and they all turned up positive. In fact when I was preggo with my last baby I took a cheap test 5 days early and it showed up positive. Good Luck!

I would wait til your at least a week late. I recommend the digital Clear Blue tests. The First Response are crappy ones and so are the EPT. With two of my pregnancies I used those two and they would say negative so I would go by the more expensive digital and they would always say prego. My sis was a week late when she took her first few test that were the EPT recently. She took each one a diff day and they all said negative so she went to buy the digital took it in the middle of the day it came up prego. Your better off spending a little more money for the digital so your not spending so much on ones that dont work.

With both of my kids, I got positive preg tests at 10DPO. I used the generic CVS tests with no problems.

Not sure how Clomid works, or if you have an idea of when you're ovulating. But that's what I would go by.
