Internet cheapie tests?

I know I should abandon all hope but I'm clinging on!
I'm 11dpo and testing using Internet cheapie ones (30 for £1.50) still negative.

Think they'd be positive by now or are they a bit crap?

Might still be too early to get a positive result, depending how long your cycle is. I found the Internet cheapies worked fine but there are some expensive ones you can buy at the chemist now that can give you a result a few days earlier. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm due Sunday...I know I should abandon all hope really. As of next month we're having more infertility investigations and have been referred to infertility specialist. I was just hoping against hope that I'd get pregnant this month and not have to go through all the investigations...I did think it was a forlorn hope though.

I got my TFP (tiny faint positive) on an internet cheapier at 12dpo. Everyone is different though. Some people don't get a positive until much later.

BTW, the investigations are not exactly fun but are not all that bad.

Well theoretically if you are due on Sunday it is too early to get a result. I'm sure mine didn't give me a positive until around the day my period was due and even then it was only a faint line.

It's completely natural to keep hoping and you are being realistic with it. The waiting is horrible! You may be disappointed but even then I know plenty of people who have been successful with minor fertility intervention. Good luck

I only got a very very faint light before my AF was due. Retest in a couple of days
