Can i ask everyone's opinions on the one step test strips and what they think to these tests please? The lines came up within the time frame but I'm aware that they can give false positives, ive had some before. And unless I ovulated later than what I thought, my cycles have been a bit out of sync give or take a few days, if it was positive I would have thought it'd be darker by now.

Hmm I'm abit unsure of these. Got a false positive a couple of days ago... although I tested negative again after this one so think it would be unlikely to get that many in a row.. can you nip out to get a different brand? .. Fingers crossed for you x

Sorry that you got a false positive, I've been there and know how it feels.

Can you see the second lines on my photo? I did a digital but that came back negative, maybe too early but also may just be kidding myself.
ive had a really strange cycle where i bled for 1 day a couple of days before my period was due so wasnt sure if it was implantation bleeding but the lines are so faint!

Thank you for replying, keeping my fingers for you too! X

My experience is that they are shockingly bad for evaps. I’ve been stung a couple of times and now will not buy them again.

Forgot to add photo of my evap/false positive. Mine came up in the time frame too but I was negative on a FR☹️

I posted about these tests yesterday. I find them awful to be honest. I have taken these tests over the past 3 days, the lines are getting more obvious but are still really faint. I got a positive on a digital after I took the top test

Sorry that we all seemed to have had issues with them. Congrats on your digital @sometimessunny!

My digital was negative so maybe I've just got a dodgy set of tests. Got another faint line on the strip tests tonight x

Well my tests today using a different brand are negative 😞
Definitely won't order these again, no matter how much I told myself not to get my hopes up yesterday I did and now I'm feeling very stupid and sad.

Onto the next cycle x

Sending lots of hugs to you. I know exactly how you feel and it’s truly horrible.

I don’t know how many DPO you are but you aren’t out until AF shows x

Thank you @Yellowdaff25, this whole ttc has affected me way more than I expected it to this time round!

I think I'm out as I was due my period last weekend but only bled for 1 day which is unusual. I tested on the off chance that it could have been implantation bleeding instead of a funny period x

I’ve found them to be as accurate as any other test. They have detected my pregnancies at 10DPO both times

MyGardenDaisies · 27/10/2024 07:29

These are very bad for the false faint lines too early. I would just test when you’ve missed your period
