After spending a ridiculous amount of $$ over the past 14 months on FRERs and diggies (apparently it isn't "healthy" to spend $100/mth on pg tests per my friend), I finally decided that it is time to invest in some of the internet cheapie HPTs that I always here ya'll talking about. Where do you find these? Are any better than others? TIA

These are the ones I buy: Amazon.com: Wondfo Pregnancy Test Strips, 50-count: Health & Personal Care

But if you buy from "other sellers" you don't get the same kind, last time I did that and ended up w/ a crappy kind.

Those detected my last pg that I m/c'd 2 days before the frer. (and the first + two days early was even evening-not-held pee lol.)

They do form evap lines but they were always way after the time window for me.

Thanks! Also, when I clicked one of the suggested products at the bottom was for canine pg tests I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how you get a dog to POAS.

I get the wondfos from Amazon too. Love them, although they are the reason I'm STILL poas.

I buy mine from Ebay. When I bought the Wondfo ones I hated them with all my gutz. They gave me nothing but evaps.

I buy from this one (50 OVULATION/PREGNANCY/FERTILITY TEST TESTS + FP chart | eBay ) and they never gave me any evaps, plus they're very cheap

Really? I used the heck out of these this past cycle and they worked good. I did back them up every now and then with a FRER. But it was like 40 wondofo against 8 FRERs.. haha

Ugh it seems I'm the only one who got evaps with them then. I still have mine; either going to pass them along to a friend or just throw them away. I ended up exasperated with them

That sinks! I did have some irritation with FRER's for a while. They had a HORRIBLE indent line. Messed with my eyes and I read online a lot of people had the same issue. So I complained on their site and they sent me a coupon for some free one. Yea I want some free tests that make me mad!

This month I swearI will try to stay away from any tests - both OPK's and HPT's. If we *will* actually trigger this month (pls God do listen to my prayers for once!!!!) Will just test to make sure that the trigger worked and that's it. Unless I'm late and ob tells me to test I will try to stay away from those ugly things!
