Early on in pregnancy OR further along.

I have felt odd for a while, tested twice but £1 tests both times, negatives.

I got my first BFP with a £1 test, probably dead on the day i was due.

I got positives on cheapies from 10dpo..

As much as I'd trust the expensive ones - got a neg at 7 weeks from a £8 one...

I'm paranoid now so testing every 2-3 weeks, so Poundland it is!

I also got a false negative from an expensive test at around 6 weeks, then tested the next day with a cheapo one and got a very faint line. A cheap test detected my second pregnancy the day I was due too. However in both these cases the line didn't show up until after the valid time window. (It came up stronger the next day).

Don't do what I did later on though, and drive yourself demented peering at the litmus and convincing yourself every shadow is a faint faint line...

lol - i did this earlier - dismantled the test and held it up to the light. NIL ZILCH ZERO!

I bought 20 cheapies for £2 plus postage off ebay and they were the first to get a +ve, about 10 days post ov.

And it was really light, but as I've got quite a few left over I'm testing every 2 days to reassure myself that the light is getting stronger!

Got to be the cheapest available and they work really well.
