Amazon cheapies??

Hello all!
Was just wondering if anyone used amazon cheapies before? Today is one day before AF is due and I'm very tempted to test. I don't want to take a cheap amazon test if they're notorious for false negatives as I'll be very disheartened! Any good experiences with them? Smile thanks!

Hey! I used internet cheapies two days ago and got a v v faint pos but a v dark line on a frer. U never get blazing positives on the Amazon cheapies but if u see a pink shadow then get a frer they are a good idea of when to splash out on one and saves u money in the long run

I used a few cheapies 2 weeks after taking MAP and about 2 days before AF (never had regular periods) and I got fairly clear positives.

Personally I wouldn't do one. Below were my frer tests 1, 2 and 6 days after missed af. Cheapies Amazon test only showed a very fair line on day 6, nothing before then. So if you get a negative on one now wouldn't rule a bfp out

@Merrz thanks for your reply! I think I'm going to nip into town and buy a few cheap ones from Wilkinson's and maybe a pack of frer to use in a few days! Smile

I used amazon cheapies firstly because I thought it doesn't matter if I waste them as I must have had about 20 or so. I got my BFP with mine from amazon 2/3 days before AF was due. I waited around 5 days (while still using my internet cheapies) and then tested with a clearable digital. I did make sure I used my FMU to test but the lines showed up straight away. It's your choice though and everyone is different.

@Sugarskulllover thank you for your response! That's true, very cheap so doesn't really matter if they're not accurate! Interesting to know you had BFPs Smile

I did the same, using the cheap ones so I could test early and not break the bank. I had just bought a new pack of 30 cheapies (cycle 5) and used the first one yesterday at 10dpo - enough of a line for me to break out the frer where I got a clear positive, not even with fmu :)
