    Has anyone used these pregnancy tests from the pound shop?
    u pee in a cap, and place the tiny strip of paper into the urine. (not like the normal preg test stick)
    i dont know if they are a waste, should i just buy the normal pregnancy tests in boots instead?

    anyone recommend them?

    Havent used the pound shop ones, but I do have internet cheapies, you dip a little stick your pee, so are they similar to that? how many do you get in the pack?

    I generally only use the proper chemist ones if I go over my dates, which rarely happens. If you were irregular you would be spending a fair bit on chemist ones I'd imagine.

    there is a link in the chat thread of really cheap tests from the net - like about 5 cent per test. :)

    Like the previous poster I didn't use poundshop ones, but internet cheapies, and they worked just as well. In some cases, they even detect pregnancy before a chemist HPT. The only concern I would have with a pound shop one that it might be close to out of date.
