Blue dye ones tend to have a lot of evap lines which drove me nuts. I stuck with pink dye ones. First Response Early Result is always good

In the past I've used whatever was on sale Chat Icon I used Answer brand when I tested with DD then confirmed with CB Easy Digital(those were the ones on sale that week at CVS). I will pick up FRER this coming week since it detects HCG super early.

I used Clear blue easy digital. The one that says pregnant or not pregnant bc I am dumb and can never tell if there is a line or not. When I had my 3rd I realized I was late and said oh crap I better go test. I bought the most idiot-proof test (this one) and pregnant popped up right away. I think it came with a pack of 3. I didn't even use the other 2. DH didn't believe it (we had a hard time conceiving our twins and they were only 8 months old when I got pregnant again) and he wanted to pee on the stick to see if it was accurate.Chat Icon

I've been pregnant 8 times now (lots and lots of losses Chat Icon) so I have a fair bit of experience with this…

FRERs will give you a faintly positive line that you can see without squinting when your beta is about 10. Can't get much better than that. Wondfos will also give you faint lines around then (those are the 50-for-$20 cheapies you can buy off Amazon), but you'll have to hold it up to the window and turn it this way and that, squinting, to see it. It will be positive at betas of 10 though. Dollar Store tests are a little less sensitive.

Oh, and Dollar Store tests and Wondfos take a good long time to come up until your betas are high (about 5 weeks pregnant) - they'll sometimes look negative for 10 minutes or more and then finally show their faint lines.

With all of my pregnancies and ALL of my testing (with so many losses, I'm a POAS addict to see if the lines get darker), I've only ever ONCE had an evap line on any of those tests - it was a Wondfo - even after waiting 10 or 20 minutes to read them. Blue-dye tests are notorious for evap lines though. I've actually never bought a blue dye tests because I've heard such bad things and didn't want to get my hopes up.

Good luck! Chat Icon

Edit: Just reread your question. They're all "accurate." The only way you'll get a 2nd line is if you have a fertilized egg in your uterus, throwing off HCG.
