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’ve always wanted to be a mom. I remember being 16 and “in love” and wanted to get married and have a baby. Whew! I’m glad that did not happen then. But fast forward 12 years and I was ready. I had married a man with three little boys but 7 years later we were ready to have “our” first child together. I remember the anticipation and the amount of pregnancy tests we went through. Hiding in the bathroom at work and doing a test. Sitting there waiting for the lines to change. Then on February 13th I found out I was pregnant. What a perfect Valentine’s present for both of us.
Then 7 years later we were ready to try again. This time I really wanted a girl. I was 35 and getting “old” and wanted to make sure I got pregnant but also wanted to have a girl as we had four boys. I remember going into the doctor’s office and asking what I could do to have a girl. Basically I was told to watch my ovulation. So…many ovulation kits did I buy! Oh the fun and frustration of trying to get pregnant and the absolute thrill of knowing as soon as possible when it happens. I loved all of it.
But it hasn’t always been so easy for many women. Pregnancy testing has changed a lot throughout the years. From analog to digital tests, and detection after your missed period to before, the advancements are numerous. 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.
First Response Early Result Pregnancy Tests are designed for a woman’s hand and have a longer handle which makes preforming the test much easier. You could get results as early as six days before your missed period and it can be done at anytime of the day! I would get upset if I had used the restroom in the morning and forgot to do the test. The tests are FDA approved and can detect all relevant forms of urinary hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) throughout pregnancy. First Response is available in all major drugstores and grocery stores and retails anywhere from $8.99 – $15.99.
How did you first find out you were pregnant?
