Which pregnancy test is most reliable?

I've seen the cheapies on amazon, to the more expensive end of FR or CB.

Is it worth paying for a decent test in terms of reliability?

my cheapo ones always agreed with with expensive ones.

if you are testing early, get a sensitive one. my tests didn't get really dark until a week after period due.

i dont think there is that much difference, the cheap ones are really good value so may be worth getting a load of those in? or if you dont need so many just the standard boots own brand are fine, i always used them never a branded one and they work fine.
although the v sensitive cheap ones, i was expecting them to work soo early because they say 10 miu, low sensitivity and all that but they still didnt actually work til the day i was due on, so i dont think they necessarily work as early as they claim although may depend on the person. however atleast with those if you want to re confirm your result you have loads so you can do it as many times as u like Grin
personally i think 30 quid for one test as some of the brands charge, is just a rip off

Oh yeah, I wouldn't be paying £30 for one!

I think £10 or less is around the mark i'd be comfortable with.

Do those one's which state timescale e.g. 2-3 weeks pregnant actually tally with what the doc says?

I bought Tesco ones, which are very cheap, esp. if you buy a pack of 2. They've always been right...

I bought a sainsbury 2 pack for about £4 or £5. They've always been great - better in some cases than some expensive ones (I'm a multiple tester Wink).

I use cheap ones, and I know my doctors surgery use cheap ones too
