Are the dollar store pregnancy tests accurate?

Are they? I just took one earlier, and it came back positive! I dont want to go out and spend anymore money if the dollar store tests are accurate & I also dont want to get my hopes up! lol.

Yes, I just use the dollar store ones and they have always been correct. My doctor said they are just the same as the expensive brands.

I took 3 from the dollar store, 4 from dollar tree, and 2 from "Save A Lot" and they were all positive. They're just as good as the expensive ones. And I still can see the lines on them, 16 weeks after I took them lol

Yes they are accurate. I only needed one dollar store test. Mainly cuz once I missed my period, it was clear to me I was.

They work. I've heard of false negatives, but never a false positive. If you really aren't sure, get a test at your regular doctor.
