Reliablity of cheap HPT

Just curious of what other's experiences have been with cheap HPT. I'm CD 35 DPO 10 (40 day cycle). Yesterday I used a $.88 Wal-mart HPT and got a BPN. Should I be disappointed? Did I test too early? I figure at this point I'll wait until I'm late and then retest.

10 dpo is early, for the walmart cheepies. Definetly retest in a few days! Good luck!

I don't have any experience with the WM tests, but I agree...it could definitely be to early. I hope you get a BFP in a couple of days!!! Do you have any fun symptoms for us to obsess with you about?

Thanks you guys, that gives me hope. I wish I had symptoms. I never had symptoms with my other pregnancies which was really frustrating.

Have you tested again? I've got everything crossed that you get your BFP!

I've got a test under my sink screaming my name, but I'm going to hold out until after Thanksgiving. I couldn't bear to see a BFN before the holiday. AF would normally start on that Fri or Sat so I'll probably hold out until then. It's killing me though!!!

OMG, you have some amazing willpower!! I totally understand why you're waiting though. I wouldn't want to have any disappointments hanging over my head during the holidays either. On the flip side, if it was a BFP, I would find it hard to keep it from everybody.
