Those early testing sticks....


Anyone used them? and i mean successfully!!

I got some off of ebay, only 5 as they came with my bulk buy of OPKs.

Well i did follow the instructions but the stick had barely been in my pee for 2 seconds when it seemed to be flooded with red dye and looked like it was going to fall to pieces!!!!

Are they really reliable? (and i'm not saying that becuase it didn't give me a promise!)

Is it 6-10DPO that they are reliable? All i can remember was that they were made in China! No help!!

Ta!

no not yet - I am CD25 of 28 Day cycle.. AF is due on Saturday!

Thing is i don't know if i ovulated this month as i never got a smiley face on my OPK - BUT my cycle is normally as regular as clockwork... who knows!!!

I will know if is coming prob tomorrow as i'll have spotting... we shall see.

I do have some nice CB Digis but i'm saving them for when i'm sure i am PG rather than hopeful!!! ha ha

i will probably just wait (can't believe i said that!). I spent £50 on ovulation/HPTs this month so will wait until i'm brave enough to use a CB Digi! Just in case the earlybird ones don't detect it.

I feel quite chirpy this month and less stressed with the whole TTC thing so don't want things to take a down turn!

that's how my cheapies worked, red dye would flood all the way to the end but would clear up leaving the results, and in my case, the results were quite accurate!

Good luck to you, darling!

Thanks for that - this morning the stick showed nada and that was 3 days before AF. It kinda fell to pieces but i could see that there was a control line.

I'm bricking it (to put it mildly) so i'm gonna wait and see if AF comes i think.... don't want to ruin my happy buzz!!!

I noticed with my cheapies the red dye was all over the sticks too. I've never had a with them so not sure how reliable they are!
