“I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for First Response. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”
I got pregnant in 2011 and again in the first new hours of 2014… in just that time, pregnancy testing had changed drastically. From analog to digital tests, and detection after my missed period to before, the advancements were numerous… and exciting! Few tests offered early detection, but First Response did. And I was so thankful for it with both Addie and Millie! The first time I found out I was pregnant with Addie, I was in shock. I had lost a pregnancy, and so desperately wanted a baby. When I saw those 2 lines… it was Heaven on Earth.
With my sweet Camille, I had little to go on. We were ready for another baby, but when being tired like never before began, I chalked it up to Addie being on the go, go, go… taking the First Response Early Detection test was the best thing ever. My adoring husband was SO excited… and there’s a snapshot of the first test I took with First Response!
Recently, First Response has redesigned their advanced Early Detection Pregnancy Test in a way that will diminish those awkward and troublesome moments that come with determining pregnancy- the tip is wider, the handle longer, a super easy-to-use curved design, and the window, as always, is super easy to read!
With two babies running around (well crawling and running), my ovaries are hurting for a third, and most likely, last child. Maybe it’s the part of me that’s gotten all the kinks worked out and I’m ready to have the perfect child (HA!), or just that my girls are so amazing, I have the confidence to bring a third into the mix and start playing zone, instead of man-to-man. Whatever it is, I have my tests ready to go for the right moment. Which, for us… is all in the planning.
Right now, we are listing our house (photos are being taken on Friday… I better get cleaning!) and looking for our forever home… which includes a 4th bedroom and home office! I know there is so much unpredictability in the future, but trusting First Response ensures my biggest question will always be answered on time. Here’s to selling, buying and more babies!!!! Get your First Response Early Detection test at most major pharmacies and grocery stores, and find out as early as 6 (six) days before the day of your missed period if you have a babe on the way! With results in just 3 minutes with over 99% accuracy from the day of the expected period, those 2 pink lines could hold a bundle of joy in them!
Are you trying for a baby? What was your experience like when you found out you were pregnant? Share your stories and reveals below! I would love some creative ideas about how you shared your news!
I stopped after two. I could only handle two LOL. I can barely handle the two I have actually LOL.
LOL!

You are right there is so much waiting in life! I love that you can know 6 days earlier. That is huge!

I think that is cool, too, although after I was pregnant with my first, I knew immediately with my second. Taking a test was just a formality!
Amen to knowing after the first. I WAS so tired, I just knew “here we go again”!

I’m always amazed at new and improved women’s products! I would want to know six days sooner, too!

I used these with my first two kids, my third was a surprise lol. I was so excited to find out super early since we were trying.

I can’t believe how early pregnancy can be detected now. That is so shocking to me! (Also, very cool.)

I was just talking about this with a friend of mine. You used to have to wait until 8 weeks or more!

This was not around when I was at that age. I LOVE 6 days sooner. In the world pf trying to get pregnant that is HUGE!

It took us ten years to conceive our first. I was in total shock. And oh, back then, the sticks were hard to read so some people (myself included) felt the need to take more than one test.

I always take a million tests… like i need to make sure. I’ve probably spent multiple copays testing!

What a great product! It is definitely quite a well known company. Thank you for sharing with us your story, loved reading it 🙂
Thanks!

It’s amazing how soon you can find out that you are pregnant nowadays. It took us almost a year before I got pregnant with my first born.
Technology is advancing so much- it’s like you can find out the moment it happens!

Six days sooner? That;s amazing! Back when I was pregnant with my first pregnancy test kits are not easily available. Oops, now I’ve revealed my age. 😉

I love that you now can know sooner. The second time I knew before I even took the test.

Things have really come a long way since I was having kids. It is nice that you can do this even sooner too.

Lots of girls will find this one really interesting. It can truly help them detect pregnancy at its earliest stage.
Indeed!

I think I used First Response with all of my pregnancies. They are a great brand and I would recommend them to others.
Love them!

Chelley, my reveals were just that, reveals. I always knew I was pregnant before taking a test. I never used First Response, the WalMart brand quickly confirmed what my body was telling me. I think it’s great that you can confirm so soon.

I wish I was more confident like you! I knew with my first, I also knew I was miscarrying before my body showed the signs… I actually trusted First Response then because the lines were more faint. I was crushed, but I think I truly trusted the brand then. I have always used them because of how sensitive they are!

Sounds like a good brand. Nice to learn early.

Ya know it’s been a while since I’ve needed one of these, but when I did – 6 days seemed like eternity!!! Knowing sooner is definitely better!
