Ebay cheapie HPTS?

Hello folks! I was wondering what you all thought of ebay cheap so called uber early hpts? I have a 29 day cycle, and now on day 30 and no Af, I've been spot on regular for 6 months since I started ttcing..
I feel pregnant but I have had bfns on those strips on CD28,29 and today with FMU.
I also did a Boots digital today but that is a 'normal' test and not an early one and I found with my Dd that I didn't get a BFP with 'normal' shop bought test for a few days after af was due.

Now if these 10miu tests really work then a BFN now means I'm 100% not pregnant doesn't it? If a non pregnant woman has 5miu of HCG in her urine at all times (so I've read) then this test should have gone pos from a week after ov??

Or are they just all hype and false claims?
I have a Clear Blue Digi that I'm saving, but I really don't want to waste it if I'm not likely to be pg...

What do you think?

I got these with DS2 and they said I was not pg when I was, I did 8 tests and only the clearblue was right, the Ebay ones were all negative.
Wait!

Oh thank you LizzyLou! That was exactly what I wanted to hear! I have to calm down, as I may just be having a dud cycle and suffering from a bug, but it seems a bit coincidental!

I had the opposite with the 10miu tests, i had loads of them with faint pos on, and i mean loads, AF nearly 2 weeks late, even though i did 2 X sainsburys own make (25 miu) and got neg.

So beware of false pos with these tests.

I don't think I'm in danger of that! Not a sniffle of an evap line, never mind a positive!

I'm going to hold off until Tuesday and then get a CBD or something.

You didn't even get an evap line? i wonder what it was with me then

My AF still not turned up, 2 weeks late on Monday, but i am certain i would have had a strong line by now if i was.

they are crap. actually they are beyond crap. they move into their own special crappy county and live in houses built of crap.

sorry for rant, but i hate these tests sooooo much, they are inaccurate and give women false hope and cause unnecessary heartache. wait until your period is due then test using your CBD, that way you are at least getting a reasonably accurate answer.

Well it's overdue Lissielou, but a Boots digi was negative this morning. I'm not overly worried by that as it took until 4 days overdue to get a positive with my Dd, so if it was looking for 40miu or something, then I think I have either late implantations or low HCG to start with.
I've got a CB digi, but I'm saving that for when another cheaper test has told me I'm pregnant so I can be the uber saddo and photograph the result!
I'll get another Boots one or something on Tuesday.
