Hi everyone,

Has anyone on here used a Waitrose own brand pregnancy test and had problems with it?
AF is 10 days late, I'm suddenly experiencing a NEED for orange juice when I never normally touch the stuff, I've had a real loss of appetite, really tired all the time and having a lot of headaches and feeling nauseous, almost like I have a really nervous feeling in my stomach that's putting me off food, etc.
I took a Waitrose own brand test yesterday and I thought it hadn't worked, as the control line didn't come up. Then, when OVER 5 minutes had passed the control line did appear, along with a very, very faint line in the test window. The problem is, it tells you not to read results after 5 minutes, so does this mean that the test failed because the control line took so long to appear?
I did another one this morning and had the same thing again :-(
Has anyone else had any problems/success with these tests? I'm thinking of getting a first response when I go on my lunch break today... or would you recommend any others?

I didn't have any problems with a Waitrose one but I did get a first response to check - the line on the FRER was much darker than the Waitrose one.

Thank you @mynameiscalypso
I'll definitely grab a FR one at lunch time if they have them in Boots.
Just strange that even the control line took so long to form. It kind of gradually appeared in bits and pieces until it made a full line. Usually they come up straight away so I feel like I got an unlucky box! xx
