Experience with One Step Cheapies?

I'm TTC #2 and on cycle number 5. Used a One Step internet cheapie at 8DPO and I feel like can see the squintiest squinter (top one, is OPK, bottom one the hpt). So my question is how reliable are the tests? Looking at it on here it is so faint maybe my eyes are just seeing what my brain wants them to.

Where they dipped in the same wee?

Did the tests touch at any point?

It’s happened a few times on here that due from the opk has bled onto the hpt and created a line like that. Even from just dipping them in the same pot... I know, bizarre!!

Not sure about the tests themselves so I can't answer your question but I can see a faint line too if that reassures you!

I've found that I can always see an indent line on these. I dipped one in water and could see it which is what convinced me it was nothing.
8DPO is too early, wait another 4 days.

I can't see any line on the HCG strip!

Just thought I'd post my experience with this brand. When I conceived my first I used the OPKs, dtd once on the day I got a positive.

I got my bfp with same brand at 9dpo. I truly think it is different for everyone and probably every pregnancy.

Trying for number 2 now. Got a positive opk with this brand on Saturday and I'm about to test like an insane woman at 7dpo. Setting myself up for a fall more than likely!
