pregnancy tests

Are cheap ones from poundland for example just as good and acurate as the ones for the chemist at £8 and up etc

thanks

what do you think ?

I bought loads off ebay all came bk neg, did a clear blue and came up pos straight away

Yes they are just as good, although the more expensive ones detect the Hcg hormone a few days before your due on and the cheaper ones tend to work best from the date your due.

A good compromise is the first response one which are £3.50 from Wilko's

wilkos ones are cheap and work just as well as the others and so do poundland.
they worked forme anyway...:)

double post.

i use them all from poundland and homebargins and they worked for me did one last week it im sure it was neg done another and its says postive

There's no such thing as a false positive ;)

I get mine off e-bay - go for the 10mIU/ml ultra-sensitive dipstick ones from someone like tk_diagnostics rather than people selling on possibly out-of-date midstream store brands. They work out at about 25p each, they're more sensitive than a CBE-digital (I think that's 25-40mIU/ml, so you can test positive at least a day earlier on an internet cheapie than a CBE-D), and providing you use them properly they work every time. I've used dozens of them now (mostly tracking my falling HCG levels post-m/c as well as testing from 9DPO) - they picked up my november pg as well, well before a CBE-D could, even though the levels were very, very low at first (it ended at 5w).

I bought the uber sensitive ones, none picked it up but the clear blue did straight away

Wow! Congratulations and good luck from your ex-next door neighbour! Hope you are all getting on alright. The bottom line is, do you feel pregnant? I think I knew before the tests, dont know about anyone else.

I tried the cheap ones a couple of years ago and they didn't work either. The boots own brand are rhubarb n'all. I'll stick to Clearblue in future i think.

Congratulations cuteykat, looks like you're dropping in as i'm dropping out!

I used the wilko ones and the poundland ones, they are all fine! the wilko one was with my son and worked on the day I was due my period. the poundland one i used with my daughter and I was about 10 weeks gone anyway!

I knew before I took a test - just sorta felt pregnant lol

I didn't think I was, OH did. He said "Oh your pregnant, you've turned into a *itch again" :hihi:

I didn't think I was, OH was adamant I wasn't (after a convincing false-negative hospital test) my littlest kitty was sure I was...

kitty won...
