Internet cheapies

I really shouldn't have bought any. They are so cheap that they feed an obsession and not a good one :/ I seem to be getting very faint pink lines but after the time frame (when I shouldn't really look) I have got my unpreg friend and my 3 year to do one too and they don't get the lines.

Does anyone have any experience of these tests? Has anyone got a positive? Or a false positive or anything in between?

I tried a frer a few days ago but nothing and will try again with an frer in a couple of days too. :)

They are all I have used and in my experience a line is a line. I found them to be very reliable.

shelterbelter · 20/01/2014 20:59

I really like how you got your friend and child to do one. Made me lol

Lol at testing a pg test with a 3 year old!
I used ICs when TTC and found them very reliable though when I finally got a positive DH wouldn't trust it until it was confirmed by a FRER.

Lol at testing 3 year old GrinGrinGrin
Looks like congrats are in order GrinGrin

Squeakybeaky · 20/01/2014 21:28

Ha ha I suppose it was quite funny. I just got him to wee in a jug!

Mmmmm I'm still not convinced - going to wait another couple of day and test with FRER.

I used internet cheapies and got positives earlier than the branded ones and they've not failed yet! Always confirmed with a digi clear blue a few days later.

Love that you got your 3 yr old to do one!!

Congrats!!Grin

Congratulations!

I used Internet cheapies and they worked for me. I tested with superdrug own brand tests as well and they showed a darker line than the Internet cheapies but the Internet cheapies still worked. A line is a line! :-)

dildoos · 20/01/2014 21:35

Well he is probably the first male in the world to have done a pregnancy test GrinGrinGrin

Squeakybeaky · 20/01/2014 21:36

Even after the time frame though :/ think I need some super drug ones too

This is one of them from a couple of days ago. Came after the time frame - but it's pink

I can see it. Congrats.

That's definitely a line. I know you're not supposed to read outside the time though. How long after the time? I found that they tend to darken on drying so it's possible it's just that and the line was so faint you didn't see it at first.

Internet cheapies are completely reliable and the same sort as the GP would use. They just tend to pick up pregnancy much, much earlier as they're often more sensitive and early lines can be very faint.

I used ICs 7 years ago when pregnant with DD and DH did a couple too for comparison!

eurochick · 20/01/2014 22:06

There's definitely a line there.

Squeakybeaky · 21/01/2014 09:39

I have done a first response this morning and there is nothing there so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month :(

Wish AF would hurry up now :/

Don't give up yet. Internet cheapies are very sensitive. The FR might not be picking anything up yet.

shelterbelter · 21/01/2014 11:29

When is AF due?

Catwoman4981 · 21/01/2014 12:44

Lol this made me giggle.

When Is AF due? A line is a line and I have friends who say the cheap ones are the best Smile

Squeakybeaky · 23/01/2014 21:01

Oh dear clearly a line isn't a line because AF got me this morning

Squeakybeaky · 23/01/2014 21:29

OP posts:
dildoos · 23/01/2014 21:33

Absolutely , any things worth a go I say. Is wear dirty pants on my head if it meant I fell pregnant Grin

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 23/01/2014 21:35

SMEP is exhausting! Make sure you stock DH up with powerade and red bull! Grin

Squeakybeaky · 23/01/2014 21:36
