I'm not convinced enough to use a FRER or CB digital, I do have a niggle though...by that I mean we dtd when I was clearly ovulating and feeling a bit off. AF isnt due until the wkend so I'm stocking up.

Boots own or Superdrug own?

Thanks

i remember reading that the superdrug ones are more sensitive

Rkg233 · 27/05/2014 14:38

Boots own gave me a BFP at 3+5

Makes no difference. All non-digital tests are pretty similar outside of packaging. 2 for £1 in poundland and just as sensitive as pricier ones.

Superdrug ones are very sensitive (same as a FRER I think?) so I would definitely go with that. Have also heard people saying on here that pink dye tests are better/clearer than the blue dye ones!

Marmaladecat1 · 27/05/2014 17:45

Thanks all, I'll go to Poundland then! Assuming they have some. Pink dye is what I'm looking out for.
I've talked myself out of it now but coffee definitely tastes metallic and I felt quite sick this afternoon.
Will update when I know!

Yes definitely let us know, good luck!

PeppermintInfusion · 27/05/2014 19:58

So the poundland ones are ok then? 1st month ttc and was eyeing them up the other day but was wary they mightn't be as accurate...

Marmaladecat1 · 27/05/2014 20:30

I'll let you know peppermint
I have a horrid feeling it's BFN here :(

Fingers crossed for you hun xx

slithytove · 27/05/2014 21:03

Pound land /home bargains /wilkinson pink dye dip strips are all fab and highly sensitive

Best of luck!

PeppermintInfusion · 27/05/2014 21:32

Fingers crossed for a bfp for you marmalade

Marmaladecat1 · 27/05/2014 21:38

Thanks all. Hoping I can bribe DS with some rubbish in Poundland before he asks 'mummy what's that?' with my pregnancy sticks in hand!

Ps: can you imagine a metallic taste? I need to stop swaying from high hopes to certain bfn

Talk to me about lines disappearing on pound shop pregnancy tests!!
There was a line and now it's basically gone!

Marmaladecat1 · 28/05/2014 17:26

Excuse the number of exclamation marks!

slithytove · 28/05/2014 23:28

When did the line appear in relation to after you peed
What colour was it
How long after it appeared did it disappear
Did you use nice strong wee
Did you take a pic
And do you have another test

Marmaladecat1 · 29/05/2014 02:15

I did take a pic after the 10 minute discard as I freaked out and called my best friend!
It was definitely pink, came up quite quickly.
I'm only 13 dpo, well 14 now.
The line did change like it had condensation in the plastic bit.
I'm using good fmw as soon as DH has left for work.

I don't normally feel morning sickness this early on, but for afternoons and evening I have felt queasy.

Marmaladecat1 · 29/05/2014 02:16

That's what it ended up like.

slithytove · 29/05/2014 02:24

Too hard to tell for me to say :( usually if a line appears within the first few minutes it means pregnant. If it's after the time limit, then likely an evap line.

When is period due?
Do you have another test?

slithytove · 29/05/2014 02:25

Can you take another Grin doesn't have to be fmu as long as it's concentrated

slithytove · 29/05/2014 02:28

I would say don't look at the test before or after the time limit, just at the 1 or 3 (whatever) minute mark.

Just in case what you saw was a natural occurrence of the pee passing over the dye and making it temporarily darker.

Marmaladecat1 · 29/05/2014 02:35

Period due today!
I'll do the other test in the later hours of this morning.

Never had a test do that which is annoying, thank you for looking.

Hoping that the next test gives me a clearer answer.
