Cheap tests reliable?

[Dinomum4]

Sorry to be that person...

We have been TTC. My period usually arrives day 30-32, it's now day 34, with no signs. I've took a cheap test this morning.. its very faint. Is this positive?
Has anyone had reliable results from these?

The line showed faintly straight away, but only got a tiny bit darker..

Having car troubles so will get to the shop ASAP to get a more reliable test!

These were my tests 9dpo and they were accurate, done a digital the next day which confirmed it. Looks positive to me, congratulations!

The line looks weirdly skinny, not faint. Do you have another cheapie just in case that one is a bit defunct? And yes, buy a FRER!

It looks like a faulty test, OP. The colour is further to the left than it ought to be. You can see an indent where the test line would come up.

I did think the line looked funny too, being so far to the left. I've taken another one and it's quite similar. Off to asda after lunch for something more reliable!
Thanks girls x

This one is not broken @Dinomum4 and looks a clear positive! You'll definitely get a super clear line from any pricier test

Yep I only took cheap tests, didn't purchase digital. Positive is positive!
