Bluetooth pregnancy test

[goldenlove3]

Would you use a Bluetooth pregnancy test?

Nope, especially not for how much more $$$ I'm sure it will cost. Give me all the cheapie wondfos.

[goldenlove3]

It just seems so overkill for a 3 minute process. I can't believe that people are going to be peeing on and throwing away Bluetooth chips like that. What a waste.

[ironbaby]

Ummm...

I don't need an app for that.

[sleepymonkey]

Maybe it's because I'm old but I don't need everything going to my phone. Some things I want to keep just between me and the stick I pee on.

[requiressnacks]

Just what I need - an app to tell me I'm not pregnant! No thanks.

Bitter, party of one.

But it's going to console you and offer you tips!

[peaseblossom55]

Interesting but nope. I prefer to hold the test, stare and squint for a second pink line.

I would bet one of the tips is to "Relax"

Why don't they fix the "new and improved" FRER first and make them reliable again instead of worrying about a bluetooth test??

[piccyami]

Why would you want to store previous results? I really don't understand why this is necessary. Especially at $15-22 a pop.

[achromia]

That could get hella expensive at $15 - $22 a pop. Heaven help the TTCer who starts buying them and then has to try for 6+ months.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Ugh, no way! I am willing to bet the "cycle tracker" button on the BFN screen does nothing but track periods, which is pretty useless.

[teraiin]

Sounds like a good excuse to charge more $$$ for tests. Crazy...

Yea... this is a no, for me. I'm not so blase about tech that I'm ready to start peeing on it and throwing it away.

[pismoduo]

Although, thinking about it... I could see doing this with an OPK. I have a tendency to walk away and forget about those, and it'd be nice if it just automatically uploaded the result to FF or something.

This is what I thought too.

[notagoddess]

Well, people (including me) pee on digital tests which are $10 or more. Those are less accurate than your standard test and don't give any new info. I guess this is the next step?

Personally, I'm done with pricy tests. Wondfos 4 lyfe!

[kawaiikitsune]

That seems like a lot of unnecessary steps just to pee on something. I'll stick to the cheapies, thanks.

+1 I was just about to type out a similar response until I read this.

[jwinct]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

[lovetruly2015]

Thats crazy and cool. But useless. No one needs a Bluetooth pees stick. I fell like thats just a waist of technology and resources. I can't imagine spending that much money on something im gonna pee on then toss away.

[joy]

This might be the stupidest thing ever. Pee on test. Read stick. I don't need an app to interpret this for me.

Sometimes I'm really scared by how much technology is taking over very simple tasks.

TBH, if it were the same price as a regular FR I'd buy it if I had a squinter on a cheapie


Should this comment be in the UO thread?

That seems like a legit reason to me.

[WittyLittle]

I'm already too cheap to buy digital tests... I really don't understand why they bothered investing in the R&D to make this... What a waste

[emilie]

Seriously? I think even digis are a complete waste of money. Wondfos for lyfe.

[requiressnacks]

Probably selling like hot cakes on BabyCenter. They should include an app that "tweaks" it for you too.

[BabyStandish]

I would use it...yes. Would I pay for it? Nope. #cheapskate

[whatsit]

... And then they'll add a button to "post directly to Facebook".
