Does anyone here use these? What are people's thoughts on them?

They're so much cheaper than ones bought in shops, which I have to say I think are a complete rip-off (along with OPKs).

They say that they take 5 mins to work, but I have got a negative REALLY quickly, after about 10 seconds, and I wondered if anyone here had got a BFP from them or knew if, when it's positive, the line comes up straight away along with the control line, or whether it slowly materialises during the 5 minutes the instructions specify the test takes to work.

Hope that makes sense! (You can tell I've too much time on my hands) :O

Hi

I have used these lots of times in the past and the positive line did come up instantly when I got my BFP as that is the first line the wee passes before it gets to the control line-had lots of BFN's though. Wishing you all the luck in the world and get your supply from Twinkle on Ebay (as she has always posts same day and her tests don't have evaporation lines unlike Acon tests) or from anyone else on there really. Heavens, I'm rambling now!

Thanks! That makes sense... so, if there was a BFP, it would come up as the wee travels up towards the control line. Ah ha!

Wonder why they say the tests take 5 minutes??? Maybe some people have particularly slow travelling wee

I used these when I was trying for ds. Strangely though I did notice that the 25 iu ones showed up bfp earlier than the 10 iu ones did! I found them great they showed up my bfp very faintly only 8 days after ovulation.
