@ Mrs Smith.

P4M1 told me about the Checkers R12.99 HPT a while back as I used to use the Clicks ones and it got a bit expensive. I also buy mine at Checkers Cape Gate but when they are out Durbanville's Checkers always has stock :)

Wow, R6 is awesome!!!
I'd say buy one and try it out. If it's similar to the normal ones (iow the strip is contained in a plastic casing), then it's probably fine. If it's just a paper strip i wouldn't trust them. Sounds like the IC (internet cheapies) that a lot of people buy from amazon and they are notoriously unreliable. Also, pink dye test are more accurate than blue dye tests, so if there's any way to figure out what colour the line is then try make sure it's pink. Otherwise buy one and try and then decide. At R6 you won't lose much!

Yes the normal checkers near my work also ran out and never restocked, but the one that has a pharmacy section still stocks them so i tend to buy 4 at a time LoL

I'm good thanks. Not getting much time on here today. So each time i check there are like 16 new messages to catch up on!

@Mrs Smith
Hi there! How are you?
Yes I know of the checkers hpt test for 12.99, unfortunately our checkers ran out a few months ago and never got any new stock. I wanted to bring it under the managers attention but he is a man :blush: so I decided not to ask him for more stock. Lol! :laugh:

But I did find a Chinese shop selling ones for R6????
I was thinking of buying a few of them (but will they work correctly?)
Guess I'll just have to test the test! Lol! :laugh:

sjoe, so much to catch up on!

I keep thinking i want to comment on so many things and by the time i open the comment box i can't remember LoL

Regarding hpt's costing a lot - I've found nice cheap ones at checkers - some ordinary checkers stock them, but definitely the ones with a pharmacy in them (like the one in Cape Gate). They cost like R12.99 for 1 (which is CHEAP compared to clicks that charges like R25+ for 1). So i usually stock up on the cheap checkers ones and will leave the more expensive ones to confirm a cheap one if that time ever comes.

How many dpo am I? ummmmmm
I think I'm about 8dpo. Not 100% sure as I guess ov based on symptoms (cm and horniness and mood LoL)
