Are they reliable?

What do you think?

I have had some symptoms start today and I feel yuk! I did a cheap e bay test this morning and I think it was BFN. I say "think" as I left it to long to read the results. When I got to look at it there was a line but not coloured so I think it must have been an evap line.

I have been temping but just when I needed it, my bl@@dy BBT battery is going and I am just getting the same reading every day. Surely my temp cant be 98.2f for 5 days in a row. How typical is that!!!!!

Anyway, I am 10dpo and I would have thought that I would have got a BFP on a early pregnancy HPT!

What do you ladies think? Am I clutching at straws (as usual!!"!!)

When I had a chem preg I got a line on an e bay cheapie but TBH I don't know how many dpo I was. The clearblue line was strong so they do work but perhaps aren't as definate as other brands x

i got lines from 10DPO although very faint, got a good visable line at 12DPO, after my + CBD and FR

When I got pg last October, I got a good strong line really early at 8dpo. I think I was expecting the same.

Maybe I should invest in some better ones but leave it a few days before I use them but in the mean time use my cheap e bay ones to satisfy my urge to POAS lol.

Thanks for your reply ShellK

I've heard mixed things about the e-bay cheapies but seeing as I haven't even seen as much as an evap line, let alone a BFP, I can't really help! Good luck chick x

Thanks piggypops. Did you have any symptoms at 10dpo?

Good idea! I think superdrug might have offers on tests at the moment.

I have my fingers crossed for you xx

i tested yesterday on an ebay cheapie and i was 11 dpo. I got a strong line after 10seconds!

I did a CBD this morning and it said 1-2 weeks pregnant.

i used them purely to satisfy my POAS urge, hubby could not see the lines i saw from 10DPO they were very faint, the FR was much clearer, however I could see a line which i have never had on them before, remember each pregnacy is different

good luck x

I will just keep using the cheap ones and if AF doesnt show her horrible face I will use a FR or CBD.

Its bad enough spending the money on HPT and getting a BFN but then for AF to show up soon after really rubs salt into the wound!
