Has anyone used this brand tests and shown a negative but been pregnant?

Personally, as there so cheap I think there crap.

I'm due on today but had nothing. All tests off these are negative 😫

I found these only work a few days after you're late. I've had earlier positives on them but they are so faint that they are really ridiculous and I found I saw phantom lines on them a lot as well. There are better internet cheapies - whether you can still get them in the UK I don't know. The pound shop ones and Superdrug cheapie ones are also better if you want to try those. Otherwise keep these, but wait 48 hours and try testing again.

Have you been tracking ovulation and how regular are you normally?

I barely got a visible line on those when first response early result FRER had a dark pink line!! I'm 8 weeks along now.

I got a clear BFP on these 5 days before AF was due!

When I was TTC, I'd use these as they were cheap. But then I'd keep one Clear Blue in the cupboard if I got a positive on the One Step!

I got a positive on those tests 8dpo (6 days before period due). They work fine IME.

(I did confirm with a clear blue digital though)

I used these and FRER - the ic ones pictured took much longer to show a BFP whereas FRER showed it much earlier! Good luck

I used these before my period was due and they did show a faint positive. I then took a FRER and got a really strong line so they do work but I would say they're not as sensitive.

I used one once and it gave me a false positive. I wasn’t TTC, I’d had my third baby not long before and definitely did NOT want another at the time. It shit me up to no end.

I think there can be some batch variance. I used these 2 years ago and they were fine but this time round I used them and the lines were very faint. I used some other cheapies that must have had stronger dye as the line was much clearer. They work but they might drive you mad in the early days. They were perfect for when I continued testing to make sure I was still pregnant but it took a while before I got nice strong lines.
