Have any of yall bought cheap HPT online? I found some on Ebay that I kinda want to buy but not sure if they are any good. Here's a link. What do you think? Should I bid? This is our first month of TTC again so I'm ready to starting POAS today!

I bought mine for pretty cheap from early pregnancy tests.com and they worked... and they were reliable (I ordered from them 3 times and every time was perfect) and they accept paypal.

Thanks! Do they really work faster? I'm on their website and it says they can predict HcG way faster than EPT, Answer, etc.

The link doesn't work but I buy my OPKs and HPTs on Ebay and they've always been accurate. Good luck!

If you are going to buy IC cheapies on Ebay do a search for the 5mm ones. They are bigger and a lot easier to see the line.
I have had good luck with them.... let me dig up a pic....

I was going to buy some on Ebay2 months ago, but Shannon recommended the larger test strips that they sell on babywishes.org; I bought both OPK's and HPT's from them and have been super happy so far-nice dark positives on OPK and no evaps on HPT.

PURCHASED! 25 sticks for 9.99! So much cheaper than buying in the store! Bought them on Ebay and they are from early-pregnancy-tests.com (win win!)
Thanks for your help ladies!

I was buying $1 tests from the local Dollar Store.. I was really skeptical jus cuz they looked really cheap lol in a big clunky box.. They were little cassette type tests, you suck the pee up in a lil dropper thing and then drop it into the lil well thing... Anyway, I used them for 4 mths, the first three mths, i prbly used 4-6 before af would finally show, with all Clear bfns.. Then I got a bfp at 10 dpo!!! the fourth month..
