Ic reliability, past experience?

[Mumster09]

Just wondering ladies if anyone has experience with ebay ic tests. Is there always faint lines? Are they reliable? Do the lines just stay very faint for a bfp? I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and stay level headed but I just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what the results were?

I used the one step IC with both my last pregnancy and this one and got my first BFPs on them.
9 DPO with DD and 11 DPO with current pregnancy. I never got lines on them until BFP, although they were always very faint and never got as dark as branded tests so was a bit of a guessing game both times until confirmed with a CB digital. I've attached a photo of some from a couple of days ago when I got my BFP, hope this helps and good luck! x

Thanks. Ive had people telling me that mine can't be positive because they're unreliable and they should be darker by now, it's really disheartening. Here's mine so far

IC are the strips but the ones you're using are proper tests and should definitely be showing a darker line than what they are. I'm sorry.

They are getting darker....

@Mumster09 I can definitely see lines, I'd try with a FRER or CB. Hope you get your BFP! 🤞 let us know how it goes x

Hcg doubles around every 48 hrs and in some people even 72 h so your bfp is promising, plus these tests are not very sensitive so if your hormones are rising slowly it will explain why your lines are not getting very dark. I would keep an eye on it though and test maybe with a more expensive test to be on the safe side. How many dpo are you?

I got my BFP on Monday, still no line at all on the ICs, but lines on every other test! Not sure if they're a duff batch? I used one step ICs.
I think it really depends on the woman, some people find out with them first, and some frer. Good luck!
