Sainsbury's own tests?
Are these any good? I'm just doing my Sainsbury's online order and debating whether to get these or splash on the FR ones. The Sainsburys own ones say they detect 4 days before AF, just wondered if there was much difference as they are half the price for x 2.

on the friday (CD29) i tested with CB and got BFN. But i know that i had ov'd later - on a monday/sunday so i was slightly out anyway. that day i bought some sainsburys tests as they were cheaper than CB. so sat morning i tested with sainsburys but hadn't read the instructions properly and thought it was bfn and went back to bed, but then i decided to read instructions and i think it had said to wait 5 mins, which i hadn't, so i went back to the bin to check and there was a line - but i was worried it was past the 10mins. and it wasn't in the middle of the window so i was worried! so i did another 2 that day but managed to wee on the window and ruined them. did one on the sunday morning and again got a faint line - which i'm sure were towards the end, if not after, the 10 mins. this line became stronger as time went on during the day, and there was definite colour to it. i was convinced it was evap line and spent the day googling and realised if it had colour then it probably wasn't evap line. still didn't believe it though! tested 2 days later on the tuesday and it was BFP with a CB.
so basically they were good because they were cheap but my result didn't come up until the end/after 10mins which confused me a lot.
not sure if i will buy them again - depends how i feel when i'm shopping!!

Thanks for that. Are they the kind that have 1 line= -ve 2 lines = +ve then? Can you pee in a container and just dip them? This is what I do with the cheapies I've got.

Which are the CB ones which say the words, 'not pregnant', 'pregnant'? I didnt realise there are others with a cross? What are the names of the CB blue ones? digital or one step?
This testing malarky is so confusing! lol Like everything with TTC i suppose!

I found they were cheap and did the job, esp for us poas addicts. If early i'd recommend these and closer to the time a cbd, which incidentally gave me a bfp at 8dpo mid afternoon.
