You may have seen my crazy woman post...

I would like your experiences with pregnancy tests please.

Has anyone used predictor? Are they reliable?

I have first response and superdrugs own now. Are these any good??

The two that you have are, in my opinion, the best. They have given me clear positive results at 11dpo after a faint line on a cheapie. First Response Early Result have always given me the correct answer at 11dpo. Less experience with predictor though.

I personally would just use cheapies and then crack open a proper test for confirmation.

The best thing about superdrug own brand of non digital is that the dye is quite a dark pink colour (unlike FRER) so if you get a line, it is more visible.

I have now just looked at your other thread.

You don't need to do any more tests! You are quite clearly UP THE DUFF.

Those are all nice positive results. Congratulations :)

I do understand the need to do endless tests - I have a habit of it myself during the 4-6 week period. Perhaps save your tests for next week so you can see a nice dark line on them rather than doing any more right now. It's nice to see them get darker.

Thanks for looking at that thread kat but those lines were after like 20 odd minutes thats why i am doubting them!

Might test with one of the FR or superdrug ones tomorrow if i can hold out

Oooh I would be retesting today if you aren't sure. Do the FR first and if you still aren't sure then do the Superdrug the day after tomorrow. If you can't wait till the morning, try to make sure you haven't been for a wee in a few hours. Do the pee in a cup method rather than on the stick directly so that if your sample looks very pale you don't waste a stick on it.

I am almost certain you will be getting more positive results! Perhaps you aren't going to believe it till you see it in words on a digi?!!

I think I'd believe a line if it came up on time limit and line wasn't super faint.

Will go for the hold my pee and cup method.

Thanks for replying!

Those ones you posted are not super faint. Super faint is when you can see it when you squint funny at it holding it up to the window. If it shows in a photo then it isn't all that faint in my opinion.

I guess the time limit thing then is a problem although i suppose if there is a line at all it prob means there is some HCG present?

Will see what first response says later.

Thanks for your help and advice!
