Cheap teats

Ok so this is my second month tfc

Last month I oddly had a 33 day cycle and I had sooo many pregnancy syntoms (plus was a few days late, my usual cycle is 28-30) that I really thought I was pregnant.

This month however I had ZERO symptoms so I didn't stress about being pregnant like last month, yet it's day 32 and zero signs of my period either.

As last month I was totally sure I was pregnant due to all the syntoms and was 5 days late and took tons of tests... this month I had bought a box of super cheap pregnancy tests to prevent spending that much money. It's a pink box on amazon that has 30 cheap tests for $8. This way I could test daily and not stress

So I have done that, I tested everyday since day 28 just because (again, I don't have any syntoms yet the only time I was pregnant I had no syntoms either) all tests were negative but now I've been reading that those tests are inaccurate or take a long time to show the hgc levels.... so now I'm wondering ...

Has anyone used those cheap tests and got a positive at 15dpo!?

Should I give my period a few more days to come before I buy a better test!?

I don't want to spend money on a good one to get my period the nExt day....

Anyways let me know! The tests are very clear negatives!

I have gotten positive results with Dollar Tree tests as early as 11 DPO. I started testing at 9 DPO and got negatives that day and at 10 DPO. I find them very accurate.

I just tested positive yesterday at 12 DPO with the Equate brand from Walmart and First Response brand. I retested this morning (13 DPO) and both were positive. First Response lines are much lighter than the Equate lines.

My symptoms are hardly noticeable and I thought the tests were going to be negative yesterday. This is my 5th pregnancy and my early symptoms have been really different with them all.

Good luck :)

Yes I understand no all cheapies are the same. I went back to read the reviews of this brand and I saw that everyone said they were good but not for early detection as they didn't give them a light positive until at least 20dpo, some people not until 8 weeks pregnant.... so there is my response haha.
