Cheap Ebay Sticks - Need help

[astrogal]

Hi

I bought ebay sticks that measure up to 15mIU/ml. I tested on:
8dpo - No visible line that i could see
9dpo - No visible line that i could see
10dpo (am) - very very faint line, that needed good lighting to be seen
10dpo (pm) - Again very very faint line but a lil more noticable that in the morning (but could the lighting have been better in bathroom at the time than in morning?!?)
11dpo (am) - Again only a very faint line not any darker than yesterday arvo. I also tested with a pregnancy test that we get at the hospital here and that was negative but in saying that, you could see a shadow where the line would appear and i not sure how many IU/ml that they measure as it doesnt say on the packaging.

I should also mention that the line is appearing within the 5 min time frame.

Has anyone had faint lines on the ebay tests and it not been a positive in the end? Or has someone had a similar experience with these sticks and it was positive?

Here is a photo of the 10dpo am and pm:

11dpo looks darker than 10dpo in the photo. It also looks exactly like the bfp I got.... and DS2 turns 1 next week :D

I did a couple more tests after that to make sure it was going darker (even though I KNEW I was preg) then waited till AF was due and bought a supermarket test just to show DH. Much nicer packaging after all... lol

Congrats! You're pregnant!!

I agree that's a nice :bfp: !!! A line is a line! I would also buy a FR or another supermarket/chemist test and test on the day or just after AF is due - Then you will get your nice strong line and feel better!

Congratulations! :yelclap:

MMMM I have to agree with the OP'ers

Me thinks thats a very early :bfp:!!

I had the same thing with Ebay cheapies.... I tested with a First Response after (a number of ebay ones) and I am not 33 weeks preg today!

Contrats - A line is a line!! No matter how faint!:goodvibes:
