Recommended early tests?

Hi guys, so first of all did anyone else experience pretty bad cramps leading up to there BFP?? And at one DPO did you find out. Another question is what pregnancy tests does everyone recommend for early indication? I have the cheap strip “easy@home” ones.. but I’m not sure that because there so cheap (not bashing as I know a lot of people get their BFP’s using them) but for me every single one is coming up 100% negative.. I’m also not sure if I’m just testing to early. BUT these cramps are giving me so much false hope that I might be pregnant ☹️☹️☹️
