What has your experience been with the online dip strips?
This is the first month that I have used the Ultra Sensitive 10 mIU test strips from early-pregnancy-tests.com. I also used the ovulation strips from that site and have been quite pleased with them. I tested them against the First Response and ClearBlue Easy digi opk's and they all detected the LH surge at precisely the same time. However, I'm not sure about the pg tests. I've taken at least a dozen in the last few days! I started testing at 6 dpo and the tests were clearly BFN until the evening of 9 dpo. I decided to test in the late afternoon because we went on a six mile hike and I knew my pee was probably even more concentrated than FMU since we didn't bring enough water and spilled some of it besides. But anyway...the test came up with a hot pink test line! Not as dark as the control line, but very noticeable (it's posted although quite blurry as it was a cell phone pic). The majority vote was BFP. However I am 12 dpo and have not gotten a clear BFP since then. Frustrated!

Since you were only 9 dpo just wait a few days and try again with a different brand. I wouldn't choose "false" or "chemical" since it could be too early to know. But since you haven't gotten another BFP since then I can't vote "true positive" either. I got my BFP at 14 dpo using those type of strips and then confirmed it with several other brands including a digital the same day. So I never had a problem using those strips but there can be bad batches from time to time. Good luck!
