Review of Clearblue Ovulation Test by
molelover
Advantages: more sticks than average in a pack, easy to use, reliable results
Disadvantages: more expensive than other methods, especially if it takes a while to conceive
...to give them a shot. Clearblue are one of the leading brands, and since pregnancy is not a decision anyone should take lightly, I was willing to invest a little more into a brand I felt I could trust. I figure it’s a time when you are more than willing to take as much advice as anyone can give you and you could be feeling a little vulnerable, so you are probably more likely to go with something that you feel will be reliable and trustworthy, even ... ...all the sticks had gone! Clearblue comes in at £19.99 for a pack, so it’s not the cheapest option, but it’s a little like paying for convenience food: the hard work has all been done for you, you just have to pay a little more to make your life a little easier. And if you are stressed or worried about getting pregnant, chances are you will be willing to do that. Good luck if you are trying!
p.s. It worked for me first time! ...

After 15 tests... i got a result!
Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit by
lulu2004
Advantages: Clear blue was clear to read
Disadvantages: it is more expensive
...just sent me the normal Clearblue with the + or - sign. I kept it anyway, and after unpacking the shopping a went to the loo to try again. When I came back up, myself and my hubby waited for the result, I could see nothing, but my hubby was sure he could see a faint line. This was in the evening and the artificial light wasn't helping things. I refused to get excited. My period was due the next day (Christmas Eve) and we would know then. When Christmas ... ...and bought a digital Clear Blue. We tested that night, you know the usual, wee on the absorbent stick and hey presto within 3 minutes of looking at an Egg timer icon we were staring at the word 'PREGNANT' on the LCD screen. What a lovely Christmas present.
The Clear Blue digital test said on the box that it could detect pregnancy as early as 4 days before the period was expected, although there was fine print to say that this wasn't in all cases. ...

Review of Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy Test by
african_grey
Advantages: it is 99% accurate
Disadvantages: bit over priced but worth every penny
I wont keep u all here reading for long as u just want to know if the test works and how reliable it is, well......... Its Amazing.
When I had my 1st child I never used clear blue, instead I used a boots own brand, which on the box it said 99% accurate (apparently), well anyway I used the first test stick of the boots own in the evening and it bought me back a negative result, so I took the second one in the morning which still told me negative, ... ...there must be a problem elsewhere in my body so I forgot about pregnancy altogether.
about 2 weeks later my symptoms were worse and sickness began so I went to the docs instead and surly enough it came back positive 5 days later, now when I went for my scan the next week I found I was 16 weeks gone, which means 2 of the boots tests gave me a false result and by the time I found out I had to keep my baby (which was always the plan anyway but what ...

...by the same manufacturers as ClearBlue pregnancy tests.
~~~~ How They Work ~~~~ The CleaPlan kit comes with 5 tests which you should use on 5 consecutive days. The tests detect the level of lutinising hormone (LH) in your urine. LH should always be present but will levels will rise just before ovulation. Once you have detected your LH surge you know that you will ovulate within the next 24 to 36 hours. Making love at your most fertile time gives ... ...be used as a contraceptive method due to lifecycles of sperm and ova. ~~~~ When To Test ~~~~ The ClearPlan instructions give you a table showing when you should perform the tests. Ovulation takes place 12 to 14 days before your period and the table shows when you should start testing. You simply work out the length of your cycle then see how many days after the start of your last period you should test. The tests should be taken at roughly the same ...

I bought this kit from Boots.It was a twin pack at the price of £4.99(I think i remember it correctly).I tried the test 2 days after i missed my date.And it was accurate.I had one more pack so used that too after 3 days and it tested positive.My pregnancy was confirmed by my GP too.I found the product to be reliable and well priced and twin pack is a good idea for somebody whose first test doesn't comes out positive.It was easy to use.But i was worried ...
