I've posted this in TTC, but it's more appropriate here!
I was wondering, are the cheapies as sensitive as they claim to be? I took a test this evening and it was still a BFN, it was a cheapy 99p one from Wilko's though .......

Not really... There is a list online.. I thought I bookmarked it but I guess I didn't anyways, it shows the name of the test and the sensitivity of it.. Aim stick/ strip was the most sensitive at 20!!


The cheapies were usually at 25-30.
