When you’re TTC, you can’t wait until the day when you can finally take a pregnancy test. In those days between ovulation and your missed period, you may even find yourself searching online for any and all information. There are a number of quiz-style pregnancy tests online, which gauge the likelihood of you being pregnant, based on common early symptoms and signs. And speaking of those early pregnancy signs, every little twinge feels like one!
While the online pregnancy tests are a fun way to survive the 2-week wait, thanks to modern technology, there are plenty of tests that can let you know if you’re having a baby, up to 5 days before your missed period. Still, to get the most accurate results, you’ll want to wait until the actual day you should have gotten your period.
And no, pregnancy tests don’t have to cost a fortune. For example, the Dollar Tree sells the super affordable Assured Pregnancy Test. Here, we’ve rounded up the best pregnancy tests on the market.
