ebay hpt - how early have they actually shown a BFP?

[ciara.e]

Hi ladies

I'm posting this cos i just received a lot of ebay tests today in the mail, trying to save money on my poas addiction! Thing is, I am not a fan of them as I've never actually seen a BFP on them and I just wanna know other thoughts? Like, although i'm told they pick up hcg levels as low as 10, I have heared they're more like 50.

Anyway, has anyone actually had a BFP on one? If so, how soon after O and how dark was the line? Or have you actually been UTD but still had a BFN on these tests? If so, how many days past O did you test?

Any thoughts and information in this area would be greatly appreciated! I've never been a fan of ebay tests, I guess I just wanna confirm that they do actually work or not.

Thanks in advance

I can't help with advice, but have you checked out pee on a stick? Type that into google and you'll get directed to the site.

thanks for that. I had a look but they don't seem to have a brand name specified on this particular lot of tests i bought... not too sure.

The ones I use from ebay I think are called preg now. They are 10IU sensitivity and have a blue strip at one end and are very small and skinny.
They are notorious for evap lines but I have seen my first BFP at 10DPO with my EP. IO must say it was hard to believe it was a BFP not an evap line so I then confirmed it with another test. They did however pick it up before the FR. I then had a BT about 3-4days later and BHCG was only 20 so it picked it up much lower then 20. Probably even lower then 10.
I buy them because I am a serial POASer and its just too costly to buy FR and some of the other tests available. They have caused me some heartache though when I hope what an evap line is actually an early BFP but turns out to be a BFN.

I'm a huge fan of the ebay HPT's! The ones I got were the bulk pack and on the listing it said 'early pregnancy test' and that is also marked on each individual packet. I just recently got my at 10DPO with one of them, I wanted to be sure so I did another and it too was a faint but surely was a BFP! Then I read the instructions and it says on there that you can test as early as 10DPO I was using the same ebay tests for 16 cycles and I got 2 other BFP's using them as well (I had 2 x mc's last year) plus I never got any evaporations lines on any other cycles that I wasn't pregnant... So I will use them in the future too, why spend so much money on FR when the ebay ones work so well and end up costing about 50 cents each!

Hi, just my thoughts, personally for me the tests were not as sensitive as FR, I got a BFP at 9DPO with FR, but it didnt show up on the ebay ones til about 12DPO, but still pretty good IMO.

I used ebay HPT's with DD2 got a dark line straight away I cant remember off the top of my head how far after O it was i wasnt checking O too well but it was a few days before AF should have been due. I actually swear by ebay tests but i guess its personal preference some tests work for some and others dont
