    Anyone used EBAY pregnancy tests?

    I want to buy some in bulk.

    Has anyone used them?
    Do you recommend them?


    How many would you buy at once?

    I brought 15 in a hit, I tested each day from 9 DPO cos I figured that way I knew what was going on and didn't have to stress about the what if's so much. Got a super faint BFP 11 DPO and a bit stronger on 12 DPO, the lines didn't get too much darker (despite being pregnant with twins for a while, and having quite high hcg levels), so I don't think there's that much hcg detecting chemical on them! If you'll be ok with getting faint lines then I'd definitely recommend them.

    Yes i did with DD. Aswell as the ovulation ones. Never had any problems with them and they picked up the pregnancy as soon as any other did.

    I just ordered a bulk pack of ovulation tests and pregnancy tests - 20 of each lol!
    So far so good. The pregnancy tests say they detect 15 hcg.
    It only cost me about $19, one test can be up to $15 so you can't go wrong!

    Yes I have bought them too. Got a super faint line at 11DPO and it did get darker but not as dark as First Response - still good for POAS addicts like me and they work!

    I've used the ones from oracle fertility (there are a few different 'brands' on ebay, though all seem to be similar tests anyway). They are cheaper if you buy them directly from their website than ebay. Got a faint BFP with them. I usually buy 5 for 3.50 with free postage, they do sell them in bigger lots though (Even 100 tests and combination of ovulation and pregnancy)

    I have always used bulk cheapy ones (10 for $1!) from a site that ships from China (all the instructions are in Chinese) and they always gave me an earlier BFP than any I have bought from chemists here. Very reliable.

    I was about to start the same thread! I have been testing with internet cheapies for a week & been getting BFN's but feel so pregnant! I don't know all the lingo but we DTD 23/10/10 so is that too early to pick up an early result?

    When did u ovulate Strawberries??
    I really have no idea but I have this feeling it's a week before I get AF. When I was trying to conceive DD I didn't do charting or anything like that but I went by the rule you ovulate in the middle of your cycle & I didn't get pregnant when I did it dead spot on in the middle. Then I feel pregnant with DD when we DTD a week out from when I was supposed to ovulate by my knowledge & my dates were a week behind that derived from the last menstral period. So I assume I ovulate a week later. My sister says she's the same. Is this even a possibility? The first date of my last menstral period was Sept 28.

    Sorry I have hijacked your thread now.

    Mum2Romone - I used the really cheap eBay ones for a while (the $3.50 with free postage ones) but got a lot of false positives with them and only 2 very faint positives with my 2 m/c's this year.

    Myself, I prefer FR tests - they may cost a bit, but if you can wait until approx 15DPO to test then it is definately worth it.

    With my current bub to be they picked up a HCG level of 29 at 15DPO with a REALLY strong line

    HTH's.

    Strawberries&cream - I'm not sure about your luteal phase, while it is possible, the only way to really know for sure is to undergo progesterone tests. Ask your doctor about it, and if your doctor isn't concerned, get a second opinion, and third opinion etc until you find a doctor who listens.

    It took me 4 years to find a doctor who actually took me seriously when I said there wasn't something right about me losing so many babies.

    HTH's too.
