[crackpotdog]

Using cheap 10 tests for just under 3 quid, on day 30 2day and still saying no but had BFP with 1st response yest??? still negative on cheap ones today, but i understood they should give positive sooner as pick up hormone at only 10??
any ideas??

wow thats great news on your positive. Im 13 days late nmow and still negative so obviously something wrong going to have to go to the doctors! Im in nottinghamshire, you?

Hi, sorry to gatecrash but I tested using a cheapo One Step test this morning and got a second pink line but it was just underneath the overlap of the 'max' strip (hopefully you know what I'm talking about if you've got the same tests!). Am inclined to think this probably isn't a positive as not up by the control line - did your 2nd line appear much further up?

Thanks

sorry as not had a positive i cant specifically advise, but i can say that when im holding it up to the light, begging for a line you can see where the strip is where the line would be - not a positive at all but you can see its a different see through if that makes sense like its a different material its made with or whatever, hope that helps

Hi just wanted to say that there was an article in the sun today that said the cheap tests are just as good,as long as they have the CE mark,hope thats some help

jenny - we are in midwales! when you seeing doc? hope all goes well.
Pippin - 2nd line was as described on info sheet, not right underneath

Thanks Crackpotdog, I had a look on the makers' website and it confirmed that a positive line would only appear in the 'test window' (i.e the bit by the test line) and anything else is just a dye line.

I too was reading that the tests are just as reliable as the expensive ones and in fact they are the ones used by the NHS, so they must be ok (and A LOT cheaper!).

well, i got a period eventually 16 days late and not normal really as heavy and very painful, pains in back too so doc actually agreed to do tests!!!!! im going back on 3rd september for bloods done so will see what they show if anything! hows you crackpotdog?

oh jenny thats ubbish1 at least you'll be getting some bloods done now!!
i'm good ta! quite pleased we're at week 6 and still no vomitting as yet!! feel it a bit, but no praying to the ceramic god!! was doing that from 1st thing till lunchtime with dc1!!
