HOW RELIABLE ARE THE CHEAP PREGY TESTS FROM EBAY??

[tryingtohard]

i have a very faint line this after noon, only day 24, but about an hour ago i have been spoting, weve waited so long for this, dont even know why i tested no symtons at all, mybe a chemical pregnency, oh god wish i never tested.

[tryingtohard]

please

hi, tth, sorry to hear this. i had the same thing twice. the down side of these tests is they are so cheap you test way before you normally would. try and relax, plenty of folk spot in early pregnancy. take care.

cheap tests from ebay are very easy to get evaporation lines off
how far along are you?

[tryingtohard]

i usally go up to 28 days, am on 24, but the line is pink, but very faint

[coggy]

How long before the line came up?

[tryingtohard]

about 8 mins,

glad you started a different thread as I've been trying to reply on the July thread for ages - seems to be jammed on my pc!!

[coggy]

I'm not an expert (only use clearblue) but I think that may be an evaporation line.

[tryingtohard]

i never test, dont even know why i did,! been a bit sicky but dh as has a sickness bug, thought i had that(knowing my luck i still have)

[coggy]

Think you are supposed to read them after a minute or two and then throw them.

I think the cheaper ones do get this evap. line alot as I have read about it several times on MN.

i also think that CD24 of a 28 day may be a bit early for the cheapo test to show as well.

Just re-read my post and I seem to have done a lot of 'thinking'!!!!

[tryingtohard]

yes i thought so too, now i know i will still have to test tomorrow, coggy do you know who i am???

[coggy]

I now have all sorts of ideas but didn't even consider you were 'someone' before!!!

[coggy]

I had one name come straight to mind and I am racking my memory as to that person's usual cycle length to see if you match up!!!!

[tryingtohard]

ive changed my name because i dont want dh to see ive tested

[tryingtohard]

you chat to me on msn

[nicnack2]

i used preditor test 7 days before Af this did not come up with a line or dot (cant remeber)but on checking a few hours later it was positive and i was prganant. same thing happend with ds1. hth

[tryingtohard]

nicnack2 you have given me hope

[coggy]

I was away doing my Detective Coggy bit and can now confirm that, yes, my suspicions are becoming more and more probable!!! {wink}

[tryingtohard]

i am so scared its a evp line

[coggy]

Oooooooh!! NickNack!!!!
You've given me hope for TTH too!!!!

[coggy]

Do you have anymore?

[tryingtohard]

oh coggy you now know who i am (yes)?

[coggy]

Also...your last cycle was shorter anyway wasn't it I rememeber? So it might not be too early??

[coggy]
