Why don't you try pound land (2 strips for £1) and when you get a line confirm with super drug test? I did this when I found out I was pregnant with dd, meant I had 4 tests to prove it really was true!

Bump and marking place! Also OP- sorry to sound daft but what does AF mean?

WillowsTree · 13/08/2013 14:24

Af is aunt flo, ie your period

Wish I'd read this in town - didn't know Poundland did them!

I figured it meant period but never Aunt Flo just wouldn't have registered as I have never used the term! Thanks for clarifying!!

You get the same tests on Amazon as in the pound shop too. 15 for £2 ish...good when addicted to poas!

Just out of interest, what's the earliest you could test then?

WillowsTree · 13/08/2013 19:18

I'm sure it says from day of missed period...packaging is very sparse! But they are more sensitive than that as i think they detect 10miu rather than other tests that detect 20miu.

Was a negative booooo. Going to try again next week. It was the ones you dip in your pee rather than pee on, are those the right ones?

I tested on the day my period was due with a sainsburys digital and a poundland test (not the strip one, but the one encased in plastic)

The digital came back pregnant and then dh said do another test to confirm so did the poundland one, and a line came up but it was so very faint, you really have to hold it up to the light to see the line. If i had done that one first i would have thought i would have been a negative.

The next day i did a Superdrug test, that came up almost immediately.

I've heard the first response ones are really good too.

Of course nothing beats seeing the word PREGNANT Smile

I would wait till the date your period is due before you test again. FX for you.

Yes should add, bfp on the pound land dip strip was so super faint I did the other one. After still not really believing it was there and not a shadow I did a superdrug one.

I'd wait til af due. Good luck Smile

Looks like I need to buy some Superdrug ones and put them in the bathroom cabinet ready!!
