I'm Currently Feeling: | I dont really have experience with cheapies getting bfp..but i did get a bfn after the mc..just to check hcg levels and that worked.
I think its vital one follows the directions to a t, you know, keep it in pee as long as it says you should and wait the aquired amount before reading, and not later. Also read instructions carefully to know how much hcg it actually reads.
I think the other more expensive ones are foolproof as you dont have to do much but pee on them, lol!! Some of them are also more sensitive.
But that's all i know Miel.... xxx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well I had a look online last night and found one that tested "Ultra early" (10miu) which I have never know before, but I thought, oh well it's worth a try. I have never bought one online before, so I am not sure how good they are, but I will let you know tomorrow night!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | hey miel!!! Well I dunno if you have read my threads about cheapie tests, but that might give you an answer if you read my threads!! I kept getting super faint lines all last week with the 10miu ultra early cheapies, and went to doc who told me there was no such thing as a faint line on pg test!! Have done a couple since then and am sure I still see something faint on them. Surely if I was pg then HCG would be darker line by now? So the jury is still out on the cheapy tests I think, although I have never had evaps on these and I have been using them for 4 months, same ones every time. I kinda do trust them, but the doc has really made me feel crazy!! I have also tried the CBdigi and I definitely dont like them, I really dont think they are any good for early detection. Hope this helps!! If you want an overview- read my other threads- its a complicated story!! But overall the cheapies r fine really. Candice xx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well, I had a 'bleed' for 2 days really, and it was mostly brown blood, hardly any red, so I really dunno, I guess I will just wait this month out and am doing opks and charting etc. Not really sure what is going on. Hope you have more luck!! Candice xx | | | | Status: Offline
