Live & Thrive

Waiting For Another Gift

06.23.2015 by Icar //

**“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.”

It is amazing how my life has changed in the last 5 years. SOOO many things have happened-a new baby, migration to the US, etc. It was one happy rollercoaster ride. 

It was five years ago when I got pregnant with my daughter. I remember I was full of anticipation since that time, I was still in the Philippines and my husband just went there on vacation for a month. We were really planning of getting pregnant but of course everything else will depend on different factors-health condition, timing and most importantly God's will.

first responseWe went into our second honeymoon for one week (which is actually our first "formal" one) in Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines (the same place where we also spent our first meeting back in 2002-sorry for being nostalgic as I go down memory lane!). 

I can recall that I felt the first signs of pregancy like nausea and fatigue during this time. All the while I knew something was different and never suspected that I was already expecting. It took me 2 more weeks and a missed period when I finally decided to do the test. It was very different before, a missed period is one strong indication of pregnancy along with other evident symptoms. The thing is, you will need to wait for a missed period in order for pregnancy to be detected!

first response early detectionFast forward to the present time pregnancy testing has drastically eveloved and changed-from analog to digital tests. In addition, it has transitioned to detection BEFORE a missed period from after a missed one (which is the common practice). The advancements are numerous as compared to what I experienced 5 years ago .

First Response in its goal to minimize those awkward and troublesome moments that come with determining pregnancy, has came up with advanced Early Detection Pregnancy Test. I know most of the PT products now posed some incoveniences in terms of obtaining samples. The First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test has comfort sure design features-example is the cutting-edge curved shape designed to fit a woman’s hand which has 50% wider tip and longer handle which will make testing quite a breeze.

First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test is redesigned to detect all relevant forms of urinary hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) throughout pregnancy. Because of its highly sensitive components, it has easy-to-read results which can be completed in 3 minutes with over 99% accuracy from the day of the expected period. Best of all, it can detect pregnancy as early as 6 (six) days before the day of your missed period (YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR A MISSED ONE!). Not many of us is sure whether the PT kits we are using are legally safe, but take note that First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test is FDA approved. 

If you are suspecting you are on the family way or may be trying like me, First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test is available at all major drugstores, mass and grocery stores at retail value: $8.99 – $15.99.

We are waiting for our next bundle of joy, our next gift. We are still waiting for the time when the  First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test will be of use to us again, hopefully this month! But above everything else, we know that the right time is God's time so all we could do is just be patient while waiting.
