which pg tests do you use?

That's it really - I bought a pack from the internet which say they detect from 2 days before AF due, but not tried them yet. In the past I have used Boots own brands. Are some better than others? What about the early detection ones? Thanks. Not actually 'actively' trying yet, although tbh not exactly being careful... So excited about starting ttc!! Thanks everybody

I use the cheapest one on the shelf. Most of them now can get an accurate result from as early as 6 days before period is due.
Last time or should I say this time, I used superdrug own brand for £2.99

Think they are all the same. I've had accurate results early from predictor and clearblue

Tesco's - I like them best as they gave me a BFP last time round .

I particularly dislike Clearblue as I've now had 3 BFNs using them. Obviously its the test's fault . Oh, and they're pricey too!

Oh good - glad people aren't saying to buy the pricey ones! I had heard that GPs use the cheap ones so I guess the chemistry is the same in them all. Thank you!

Ok. The cheap ones are exactly the same. Especially if your gonna do however many tests a month. Cheap and cheerful is the way to go

They aren't all exactly the same some need more hcg than others to work, clearblue digital needs 50ml hcg, tesco needs 25ml and I believe First Response need 10ml. But how much you pay isn't nec a reflection on how accurate they are. I just got a BFP this morning using a tesco own brand then one on a ordinary Clear Blue.

Ooooo congrats!!! That is so exciting! Well, I just did a 25ml one (ridiculously, on CD21...) and got a v v faint line. I have no idea if this is significant or if I am trying to see a line, iyswim. Any clues?? Should I retest or I am being a complete loon?! The latter I suspect

I use cheapo ones and Tesco ones, they all give me a BFN.

I use 69p ones from Quality Save. But after I get a positive I usually go out and buy CLear Blue, because I'm in shock and don't believe the cheap crap. Which is demented, because the cheap crap is fine.

I get the cheap ones from eBay. They've always been accurate for me
