Internet cheapies v branded tests?


Ok, am intersted in some opinions here ladies. Do internet cheapies of the same sensitivity as branded tests, give the same speed of response, in your esteemed opinions? In otherwords, does an IC 10mui cheapie give an identical result at the same time as for example, FRER 10mui?

I couldn't afford my POAS habit with anything but IC's but do I see a leaning towards slightly earlier 's with branded test, if pregnant?

I'm intrigued, especially those who've had a recent ....did you test with an ic first and move to branded? Did you get on one and on the other? I know the popularity of the CB digi because its a definitive yay or nay, as opposed to trying to 'line-spot' but I'm also talking regular CB's, FRER, or supermarket own brands?

Or are there any stories of IC's giving good news where branded HPT's let you down?

Looking forward to your thoughts....

My personal experience is that the internet cheapies are not always as sensitive as they claim to be and can be harder to read. That being said - I definitely used them as I too couldn't afford my POAS habit I would use those until you see a faint positive, and then confirm with a CB digi or FR test. Just my two cents!!

I've researched IC's quite a lot and most seem to give a BFP from about 12DPO. I know the IC's I've got claim to be able to do it from 6DPO but I don't actually think that's true. I don't think you can beat a good old Clearblue!

I didn't pee for long enough on a digi once and it came up as an error!

I literally pee'd away ten quid!
