Are cheap pregnancy tests actually any good?

[xMissLpx]

Ive just ordered 30 hpt off ebay for £3.00. It says that they are ones that doctors use and are 99.9% accurate but is it a case of the more expensive ones are better or with CB AND FRER would i just be paying for the brand? I get thru so many of them i though i may as well buy them in bulk. Let me know you views?x

I got a pack of 3 from the pound shop 2 years ago and they told me i was pregnant!

Oh thats great! Im sick of paying like 10 pound for one when all i get is a BFN! x

Likewise!!!

I bought the clearblue digital opk and that was £22 out of superdrug for 7 sticks!!! so i got 30 off of ebay for £3.00 big difference and its the ones the Dr's use as they have used them in the surgery with me!

Just posted three similar threads in ttc1, tww & bfp's. Got no replies yet but looking at your comments that gives me hope for a bfp when it's my time. I bought a pack of 25 10miu strip tests from amazon for 12euros. I have been getting bfn and I'm 3 days late, thought maybe my tests weren't so good. But maybe I just have to keep testing for a another few days. Good to know. Can't afford anything else lol!!!!!!

I have only ever used the cheap internet ones - £4 for opks/hpts 25 tests - used to conceive and confirm all 3 pregnancies -wouldnt waste my money on the more expensive brand ones!

Oh, and I have always found them reliable, no evaps - one-step they are called
