Hi everyone, Just wondering what your Opinions are on cheap vs brand pregnancy tests??
Because iv never used cheap, iv never needed too, but 8 months ttc gets expensive, so iv been buying internet cheapies, are they any good? xx
 
I can't help hun, but will be interested in any answers you get :) x x
 
I used cheapies both times and got my BFP basically if you rip apart a normal pee on stick test its just the same thing just covered in a case to help the pee go on the right bit. Apart from the digital ones never took one fo them apart.
 
always used cheapies theywork just as good, but any tests just work that little bit better with first morning wee i found as your wee is more concentrated, though u can take them at any time of day :) hope that helps
 
I used the 10 miu One Step pregnancy tests from Ebay that are really cheap then once I had a line I confirmed it with a CB digi. Good luck, :dust: xxx
 
I used the 10 miu One Step pregnancy strips too which I got very cheaply from Amazon. They're just as good as brand and a lot more affordable!
 
CB digi's have always given me a + when I've been preggers!

Last time I tested twice with cheapies in the morning but got my BFP with a CB digi that same evening.

I never test before AF is due though...
 
Thank you for your replies ladies, Iv just heard alot of horror stories about evap lines on cheapies. Iv never used a cb digi Yet! With my last two babies i used morrisons brand, i found them very good.
Thank you xx

The main thing with the digi is that the words actually appear - there is no room for error. You either are are you aren't LOL!

Saying that though they are not as senstive as some brands. I don't test before AF is due though...
 
I used cheapies to help my addiction to doing pregnancy tests, then when I had a faint line I used a branded test to confirm. You can get nasty evaps sometimes, but it's best not to read too much into very faint lines anyway, and just leave it till the next day to test again. x
 
I also used the 10 miu One Step pregnancy strips from Amazon.... they were a bit of a nightmare to read for me, the line came up REALLY faint.... but it was there (providing I was holding up at the right angle!!). My POAS addiction was getting expensive so this was a brilliant cheap alternative.

Tested on the day AF was due with a cheapie and still got a faint line so confirmed with a Clear Blue digital.... as the Ladies have said, no room for misinterpretation!!

:dust:

I used the cheapies from Amazon. They gave me a positive when First Response ones didn't! After that I did what the other ladies on here have done and confirmed it with a digital.
 
I had some cheap ones with just the stick to balance in a pot of pee, works just as well but make sure you put it in right depth for right time. X
