Best internet cheapie test?

Hey, subject says it all really - which HCG tests would you recommend that I can buy in bulk for cheap?

Was thinking maybe the easy at home tests as I use their OPKs, but some of the reviews are bit questionable.

Thanks 😊

Honestly I think cheap tests are a bit of a con. I think it works out cheaper to wait until you are few days after a missed period and get a proper one, saves money in the long run and reduces the guessing game and evap lines they all seem to produce!

Buy whichever ones you like. They are all the same in that they are lateral flow tests that detect HCG and similar hormones in your urine. Some are more sensitive and come in fancy casings like FRER and Clearblue and some don't. I nearly caved and bought some FRER and Clearblue yesterday, though I got distracted and didn't make it through checkout (Amazon). 33% off FRER on Amazon by the way, ~£7 for two. I still have cheapy HCG strips in my OPK, so I will use them if AF doesn't rear her ugly head.

I just used the clear and simple ones from savers one plastic one for 99p and 2 cardboards sticks for 99p tested a week after a missed period and got a good strong line on the plastic one. The strip ones although they same brand did take a few days longer to show up properly
