When you’re trying to get pregnant, waiting for a positive result can feel like an eternity. Now, with First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, it doesn’t have to be painfully slow. This patent-pending at-home pregnancy test, which hit store shelves this week, can detect whether or not you’re pregnant up to six days before your missed period — that’s one day earlier than any of the other tests currently on the market. The test works by detecting a pregnancy hormone at lower levels than usually necessary. Like usual, simply hold the strip in your urine stream, wait three minutes and you’ll see two pink lines for pregnant and one line if you’re not.

In a Nutshell : This test will buy you an extra day of less fretting and more time to celebrate. Now you’ll have more time to start shopping for those little booties.
