I never know when I should test, so I got these Pregmate Test strips on Amazon.  A 50-pack is only $15. That way, I could test whenever I felt \"off\" or if I was going to a party and was planning on having more than one glass of wine. \r\n\r\nThey are just the color changing dipstick part without the extremely.overpriced plastic handle.","subreddit_name":"pregnant","author":"ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJHIG"},{"body":"I’m not sure if I can chime in about what that looks like, I just knew mine didn’t work because I barely bled and I didn’t pass any clots. And since you were able to get combo medications, the rate of the pills working is much higher than misopritol by itself. \r\n\r\nI would just order some tests from amazon like [this ](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H7P9Q5A/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_N9jFCbMDBZGT2). There’s about 50 strips for the cost of one FRER. ","subreddit_name":"ttcafterloss","author":"babycrazytoo"},{"body":"Of course!! Yeah the clear blue ones are stupid expensive at the store, I got [these ones](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H7P9Q5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_E9ZJ3GQPBGCTXJ5NHT9S?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) on Amazon and have lasted me a super long time. \r\n\r\nI was the same way during the first couple years of starting the combo pill too, it’s been 7 years and it’s the only form of BC I use. It really does work though and you will get more used to it and the anxiety won’t be so bad ❤️","subreddit_name":"birthcontrol","author":"cheesyn00dles"},{"body":"I got these off of Amazon:\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H7P9Q5A?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share\r\n\r\nI have an IUD and use these twice a month to test for my own peace of mind. (My youngest, who is now 4, was a surprise pregnancy that I didn't know about until I was 22 WEEKS. Never again!)","subreddit_name":"LifeProTips","author":"smartypants4all"},{"body":"First: Buy a pack of pregnancy test strips. You can buy 50 for $15 [here](https://www.amazon.com/PREGMATE-Pregnancy-Strips-Urine-Predictor/dp/B01H7P9Q5A). Take one every week if you need to. Over time that should help reduce pregnancy anxiety because you can consistently check for yourself.\r\n\r\nSecond: Check your strings. Get familiar with how they feel, the way they rest, their length, etc. Check that everyday if you need to. So long as your IUD doesn't move, you're actively protected. If something feels unusual, use a condom until your doc can take a look for you.\r\n\r\nThe real answer to \"how to trust your iud\" is to learn to trust yourself and your ability to recognize a problem. That's a skillset that takes some time, especially when it comes to a piece of plastic in your uterus, so use the tools available to you to build those skills!","subreddit_name":"birthcontrol","author":"shadowheart1"},{"body":"any time you are worried about being pregnant, just take a test. It's helpful to peace of mind. Missed period as a sign of pregnancy is unreliable for a million reasons, and you will have weirdo periods all the time. But I know the feeling of being so nervous about it! \r\n\r\nGet the dollar store tests. There is no reason to pay more for a test, they are all the same thing ;just some are upcharged because women who are scared or excited about pregnancy will happily spend more money. This is going to sound weird but honestly, if you can get it (maybe your boyfriend or a friend can order) these [giant bags of 50 pregnancy tests from Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/PREGMATE-Pregnancy-Strips-Urine-Predictor/dp/B01H7P9Q5A/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1G7MSNROCG1ZQ\u0026amp;keywords=pregnancy+test+strips\u0026amp;qid=1660127900\u0026amp;sprefix=pregnancy+test+strips%2Caps%2C70\u0026amp;sr=8-7) are a great investment. The strips are the cheapest kind of test, but they work fine -- you just need to supply your own cup. Get a Dixie cup or something. idk if these expire but I'm still working through (at the rate of 1-2 per year) a big bag I bought when I was first trying to conceive in 2008!","subreddit_name":"TwoXSupport","author":"Leucadie"},{"body":"You can use human pregnancy strips, that are sold at Walmart or at a pharmacy, to tell if the girls are pregnant. All you need is wait a couple of weeks and collect some of each girl’s urine, than do the test.

Good luck!","subreddit_name":"guineapigs","author":"Gunea_Pig_Love"},{"body":"Wear your mask, you should be doing that anyway. Pay with CASH only and use a self checkout if possible. Buy bulk [pregnancy strips](https://www.amazon.com/PREGMATE-Pregnancy-Strips-Urine-Predictor/dp/B01H7P9Q5A) and if you're in one of the really deep red states have a friend in a sane state buy a bag of the things and send them to you.

They are available on Amazon as well as at Target. If you’re not American, I’d suggest checking out Amazon for other options.\r\n\r\nThe only difference with these pregnancy tests is that they are smaller and you have to dip them (unlike the tests where you can also pee directly on the test.)

You can buy a pack of 50 for $15 online and they last like 3 years before expiration. I'll link one option below. \r\n\r\nIt can take time to build up trust in a bc method. If you're anxious about it, make your partner wear a condom until you feel safe. If they refuse, then they don't get to have sex with you.

If you would like to not be pregnant, and are regularly having sex, I would look into birth control methods. Some will either be hormonal and help you regulate your cycle, and some will be non-hormonal, but still protect you from pregnancy. That being said, still use a condom if it’s not a regular partner!\r\n\r\nEdit: and if you would like to be pregnant, try the ovulation test strips as well! They got me pregnant in two cycles when tracking apps had failed me :)","subreddit_name":"pregnant","author":"hellogirlscoutcookie"},{"body":"I don't stress about pregnancy, as I have the copper IUD, and I can tell exactly when my period is coming thanks to the horrible cramps I get 2 days beforehand -___-\r\n\r\nBut seriously, go on amazon and buy some bulk pregnancy tests, the paper strip ones. The ones they sell in CVS and such are the same exact thing except they have a big plastic holder around the strip and cost about 40x more than the paper strips.
