hey hun, i used ic's at 9dpo and 10dpo and got faint but clear bfp so waited another 3 days and then did digi purely to see it in words not cos that was more reliable! the ic's are perfectly good for giving you reliable results so long as you dip them for the right amount of time (mine is ten seconds) and read them within the time limit (mine is 10 mins). also i bought more ic's so i can poas once a week til 12 week point to keep checking line is clear and one week after my first bfp the line was really strong so i truly think they are very accurate
good luck x

I didn't have chance to read any replies before I went out and so of course being a POAS addict I went ahead and got a CB digi which was a

Who's mummy your chart is looking very good, temps are rising, I would keep testing with IC's until you start to get some kind of line.

i have been using IC's, my 1st was a

, yesterday's was a pink

you could see with out sqinting, although doctors came up with a

, then today I got a slightly darker

then yesterdays CI which is quite clear.

I have a CB digi in the cupboard from last month but am not going to use it until am happy with the lines on the IC's & past my AF date which is this monday.

Good luck with the testing

& hoping you get your

soonxx

I have one first response (which im planning to use first) and when it gives me a faint result i will wait 1 more day and use the digi

I dont think the more expensive ones will be able to detect something the cheapies cant ..

I cannot detect a positive on a cheapie or a CB. Only FR backed up by blood tests. Some women cant detect positives on any MSU tests and need bloods doing. If in doubt its time for HCG bloods. When youre late or trying GP should agree to it, I know I would. Good luck x
