if anyone knows? I thought I read somewhere 4 days from conception and if I am pregnant it will have been 5 days, so if anyone can clarify, I would be most grateful

ive got one here somwhere(cant find it) i thought it was 2 weeks after conception, 4 days does'nt sound enough. the one i used from wilko's was the same as poundlands and that was 2 weeks.

I found the poundland test still didn't work 3 weeks after my missed period - I found them to be rubish!

I used them 2.5 weeks after conception and got a positive. Had used a boots one 2 weeks after and it didn't show. Would definately use them again first next time.

Hi, I used pound shop test two days before i was due to start and got a positive. It did take the full 3 mins though for it to appear. I tested today with clear blue to be sure and again it was positive.

In fact, just thought my town centre is open on Sundays so might pick one up tomorro if I'm not too busy but marne said she thinks it might be 2 weeks from ceonception and mine will only be 6 days, so maybe too early to test?
