Stupid question re pregnancy tests - cheap vs expensive

[mrsbabookaloo]

So I was dithering in Boots today over Boots test for 4 quid versus Cleeablue for 8.50.

I bought the expensive one because I felt I would "trust" it more: am I a mug?

Is there any difference between them really? Is it just the brand name?

I meant Clearblue, obviously.

.

I don't think there is a difference, i got my bfp with a test from pound saver's.

And no you are not a mug, good luck if you are trying.

Thanks arena. Who knew they did pg tests at poundsavers!!

i dont think there is any difference to be honest.
you are paying for the name imo
however having said that, i have bought, in the past, the really expensive digital one, and then ones for a quid from poundland, not much difference really.
hth xx

Thanks. I'll probably end up trying two, just to be sure, but last time when i did this dh really mocked me for it.

Ive just bought boots own brand- twin pack for £4.99. Tested about 30 mins ago and got a BFN, im not due until Friday but my boobs are killing me and i keep getting dull aching pains in my tummy (this has been going on for about a week now)

Like you Mrsbabookaloo i was dithering over the 2 different ones, my gut instint was to get the cheapest!

Good luck though

Ooh, you might have to change your nickname, lully!

I was due last Thurs, so I'm just waiting for the morning and we'll see!!

get a cheap one..then when you are squinting at the damn thing trying to see a faint faint line..kick yourself for not buying a clearblue digital...
done it many many times.....

Thanks ddf, that makes me feel like i made the right choice!

Keep us posted Mrsbabookaloo- good luck for tomorrow!

Well....funny you should ask.....seems like I'm up the duff!

Can't quite believe it. It'll be my second: dd is 2.3.

I'm now going to eat everything in sight before the morning sickness starts!

WOW congratulations!!! thats great news, glad to see the expensive test paid off!!

Im hoping ill see you in the Due june/July thread soon, will find out in a few day!!

Yes, I'm sure it was the expensive test that did it!

Good luck with your test, lully!

mrsbabookaloo, congrats!!!!!

did u feel any differences in this cycle compared to before??

i'm not due til friday, last 2 cycles were 29 days, had dull AF type pains bout this time last week, started getting brown discharge bout 2/3 days ago, having slight AF type pains today.............gonna test tonight but think it'll be a BFN

I bought packs of 3 for £1 from poundland while TTC. Never trusted the BFNs

However got my BFP on one of those very tests

Amazing! I think I wasted my money!
