Hiya. I bought some of the On.Call ones off ebay but haven't tried them yet as only cd18.
The package insert that came with them says "Read the result at 3 minutes. If no coloured line appears, wait 1 minute longer. Some positive results may be observed in 1 minute or less depending on the concentration of hcg. Do not read the results after 10 minutes."
Are they not very reliable this brand ?????? Serves me right for buying cheap. Everyone seems to use the Clear Blue. Are they the best ????
Good luck

Where have you gone????

nicnack2 · 10/07/2006 19:51

oooh i am getting excited for you.please let me know i will keep my fingers crossed

coggy · 10/07/2006 19:46

You see...CD24 of a 25 day cycle is not too early to test.

Go for the expensive one and then it'll put your mind at rest.
I want you to do it NOW but experience (and lots of wasted tests) say do it first thing in am.
