Which brand?

Hi everyone,
I can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

I chose the CB pregnancy test because you can test 4 days before your expected period, and it clearly says whether you're pregnant or not. No more wondering if there's a faint line or not.
On the forum, I keep seeing other brands mentioned. Is this just about price (CB is indeed quite expensive), or do you have other reasons for choosing different ones?

My expected period is on Tuesday, so I'm excited to find out!

    Clearblue tests aren't as sensitive as, say, the 2-for-5 ones. That's probably why people choose those tests, and if they show positive, they use a Clearblue Digital to see how far along you are. It's a waste of money (those CB tests are pretty expensive) if they show negative when you're actually pregnant

    I found the Kruidvat ones (2 for 5 euros) really nice. Not expensive, sensitive (I tested 3 days before my missed period and it was clearly positive), and easy to use.

    I only bought the Clearblue (digital) because I liked seeing the digital display and how many weeks pregnant you are. If I hadn't been sure, I definitely wouldn't have bought this one.

    Plus, I ordered mine via Bol.com, where it was 7.49 instead of the 16 euros in the store.

    Ultimately, it's everyone's own choice. Some people find the Action ones nice too. Those aren't that expensive either. You can also easily find cheap pregnancy tests online. I had also ordered the 2-besure ones, but I found them less clear, even though according to the description they should be usable from 6 days before my missed period. These are quite cheap though, so easy to quickly check.
