Internet from what I gather, like ebay.
CHeapest from supermarket is quick card at about $11 or $12 for 3. First Response are good, they are $15 for 3.
Most sensitive test is discover which is $25 for two but they can only be found at Radius chemists. They can be used 4 days before period is due

I buy OPKs from baby4u but they're not cheap for HPTs from what Ive seen... I get HPTs from Oracle Fertility on australian ebay... I got 40 including postage for $27 and they are sensitive from 15ml/u which is same as discover... They took five days to be delivered... When I buy supermarket ones I get the First Response - 3 for approx $14 and in my experience are more reliable and detect earlier than both clearblue and quick cards...

So are Clear Blue from the Supermarket not that accurate?
My AF is due today but nothing yet and I did a Clear Blue test which I got from Foodtown at lunctime and BFN.....
If its still not here by say tomorrow night/Saturday morning which would be the best HPT to do?

Hi JG, the tests measure different amounts of HCG so if you are testing early it is better to use one that picks up a lower HCG level.
There is more info here (see the table towards the bottom for the diff brands)

Thanks LittelSal. I will see what happens over the next day or so before spending anymore money. I was going out of my head in wonder and at least it relaxed me a little.

I think they are accurate if you are careful to read them within time frame (I have had heaps of blue evap lines just after time limit with clearblue)... also they are suppose to be sensitive from 25ml/u (lots of websites say 50 ml/u but I rung the company and it's 25) which is the same as quickcards and first response but there are many reports of FR actually being more sensitive than the guaranteed level of 25... and this has been my experience too... FR gave me BFPs several days before quickcards...

I got mine from Save on Tests. Im not too sure what the ml/u measurement is but I tested about 3 days before AF was due and got a positive.

that's lucky! TM regulations don't allow sales of HPTs - the auctions normally get taken off by TM...

I am addicted to peeing on sticks, so i buy my ovulation tests and pregnancy tests in bulk from http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/
Even with the FX conversion and the shipping costs, they are still alot cheaper than ClearBlue or First Response.
Cheers!
