Cheap internet tests!
Hi everyone. Thought I'd share a bit of useful (hopefully) info. wirh you. We have been ttc for a couple of months for no.3. From previous experience I knew how frustrating that wait between ovulation and AF can be and had previously spent $$$ on tests. With this in mind, I brought a whole load of early HCG strips from the net. They claimed to have a sensitivity of 10. Which suggests that they should detect HCG quite early.
So last weekend, having been taking the tests every day (sometimes twice) since about D4 post ovulation, I was 2 days overdue for AF and noticed that I had been feeling quite exhausted. I decided to try a different test just to be sure, it was a supermarket cheapy-BFP!!! Obviously delighted but a bit mythed as to why the internet ones hadn't worked. I continued testing with them everyday just as an experiment and it has taken until today (period now 8 days late) to get a BFP! they obviously do work but may not be as sensitive as they claim.
I hope this helps someone. Baby dust to you all x
