OPKs

Pregnow

1. Have you experienced evaporation lines? No
2. Have you experienced false positives? No
3. If applicable, how early did you get a legitimate + result. Never - for some reason they don't seem to like my wee - ie they don't work at all for me (won't take up my urine). I think they cheap for a reason. I've used Confirm's on the same batch of urine with no problems, gotten BFPs
4. Rate the test out of 10. 0

same. kept giving BFN at 20DPO but no problem getting BFP with another test (unsure which)

You can also refer to THIS site though it is American I believe and some of the test values are not necessarily the same as ours.

I'm so sorry if i seem to be ignorant but can someone tell me what the measurement numbers in bold beside the list of brands mean??????

I'm so sorry if i seem to be ignorant but can someone tell me what the measurement numbers in bold beside the list of brands mean??????

The amount of HCG detected by the brand...so the smaller the number the more sensitive the test and the earlier detection...don't feel silly...don't ask and you stay in the dark
