I will go against the grain somewhat here (there has to be someone, right? Lol) and I have to say I think all of you are fabulous and lovely, and give good advice so don't take any offence!
In my opinion, those One Step 10miu ICs are controversial. I don't know how many of you have Googled or looked at the reviews on Amazon but there are plenty of positive and plenty which aren't so positive. Personally, I have had batches which seem to show faint lines which haven't always looked like indents and which aren't evaps, some have given evaps, some have indents, the quality of them at times is awful with the knocks and dents all on them too. I feel they are quite unreliable at times, but for some they are excellent.
The Superdrug tests I also think are pretty much the same. On their own website the reviews are pretty shoddy. I have had some with scratches all across the window, and a couple where there has been what first appeared to be a line but was a scratch right in the right (or wrong, the worst place to have a scratch has to be vertically on the test window!) place. My own fault for missing it in the first place before using it, but isn't the point because at first glance most would have instantly thought they were pregnant! It's only because I scrutinise them after, some won't.
I do think the best tests are FRER, but the flat kind, the curved tests from what I have seen are useless in many cases. They had them for less than a tenner for two, Josephine, if you were planning on buying anymore more expensive tests. In Superdrug, by the way.
Josephine - I don't think you are nuts and I don't think anyone here does. My heart breaks for you when I see your threads pop up because of your situation and it's clear you would love another baby and it must be so incredibly tough on you if you and OH aren't on the same page with this.
I know how strong the urge is to poas, because of all the what ifs, it is so hard to ignore. Especially when you have a pack of thirty ICs sat there willing you to pee on them, I'm certain they actually whisper "go on, pee on me, you know you want to"!
The thing is, though, these ladies here are giving you good advice. I think we all hoped perhaps a drunken night had led to a slip up potentially resulting in a bfp for you, I know I did. And whilst it is true to say even with a condom occasionally these things happen, I can't help but feel you must feel so deflated when you see what looks like the start of something, followed by blank tests. Perhaps you don't, I don't know, it's hard to say when we are all on our laptops, desktops, phone and tablets, we aren't in front of you. Only you will know how you feel. But if this is difficult for you, maybe the best thing to do would be to take their advice and wait it out until you are due af, buy a better test and then see what the result is. This way you have an answer, there aren't any what ifs and it isn't getting your hopes up then letting you down IF you see lines and then don't because chances are if you see lines then they will be much stronger and real.
All these tests will be different for everyone, some will give clear, reliable answers whether they are a cheapie or an expensive test and some won't. This is the problem, because clearly something gives you lines, and it leads you to hope they are real (and perhaps this time they are, perhaps they aren't, if they aren't they may be at some point but you could drive yourself nuts each cycle wondering), I wonder if it may be a good idea to have a chat with your doctor and see if you can get to the bottom of why you may be experiencing lines that aren't bfps
add that to the itching and im not a happy bunny right now 
..but maybe you should wait until AF shows or are at a point where you would more than likely get a positive test if you were really preggo (10dpo-missed AF), especially if you are not actively TTC or NTNP. The chances of you conceiving right now are super slim and I am not sure what you are trying to experiment with on an HPT. I can definintely understand doing this with OPK's and being a POAS addict, as I am one myself! lol But if you are against buying FRER due to the cost I just feel maybe giving up on testing all together would be your best bet...I got a faint positive this month with a IC and Clearblue and AF came 3 days later. If you are constantly taking them throughout different times in your cycle I feel like you may be seeing lines that aren't truly there.
