A Great DIGITAL Pregnancy Test!

Advantages: Digital Display
Disadvantages: You can't buy just the cartridges by themselves

...I started out buying just the standard Clearblue Pregnancy Test. I brought this one initially as it was cheaper than some of the others (£10 for 2 test sticks). Anyway I was 7 days late but suspected before this that I may be pregnant but wasn't too sure how long you are supposed to wait before you can do the test. When I read the box I found out I could of actually done the test on the first day my period was due, so I didn't actually need to wait this long at all. I had never taken a pregnancy test before but was very pleased to find that there were very clear instructions on the reverse of the packaging. The clear instructions were in 3 steps. Inside the packaging was a questionnaire, a more detailed description on how to use the test and 2 of the testers. The testers are individually wrapped and easy to open. On opening...

pregnancy test

Advantages: tells you if you are pregnant
Disadvantages: none

...most pregnancy tests available on the market these days do exactly the same as each other it is just that you pay a lot more for testers that tell you in words that you are pregnant or tell you that you are so many days pregnant, this in my opinion is a total waste of money when they all do the same job which is basically testing for an increase in a hormone in your urine, after all why pay £15 for a stick you are going to piddle on and throw away when you can get a very similar stick from your chemist for around £1 for a pack of two or 3 and are the exact same ones used by the nurse at your doctors surgery. Read your instructions on your pack carefuly as the timing on different tests is different but the basics are still the same, you need to test after the first day that your period was due as this is the earliest time that most...

Boots pregnancy test - very quick & accurate

Advantages: Easy to use, accurate, cheap
Disadvantages: None

...These modern tests are done in exactly the same way as it would be if you'd had gone to your doctors - except now you can do it in the privacy of your own home and you don't have to wait weeks to find out the result! Perfect! I've never done a test until 11 weeks ago and I was so very nervous about doing a test for the first time. Especially as we'd planned a baby... just not this soon! The boots pregnancy test gave me an accurate result in just a few seconds. I actually took a second one just to be on the safe side. It too was positive, it couldn't be wrong! A scan 5 weeks later confirmed this. Also for some women that want to use the pregnancy test in their pregnancy scrapbook/diary the result doesn't fade! I've used mine for my scrapbook and it looks fantastic. I would definatly advise this to any woman who wants a fast...

Review of Boots Pregnancy Test Kit

After 15 tests... i got a result!

Advantages: Clear blue was clear to read
Disadvantages: it is more expensive

...Well, this is not completely a review on the Clear Blue pictured, but my comparison of about 15 different pregnancy tests (ok a little egageration!) and how I got on with each of them. Eventually the Clear-Blue brand came out on top for me, but I think the comparison will be worth reading for any of you who are in the 'am I or aren't I?' stage and considering spending the little bit more on a clear blue. I am still a newly wed (October!) and when we got married the first thing we settled on was that we wanted another child as soon as we could. I came off birth control in July, but with no positive pregnancy tests by November I decided that this month I would chart my cycle. Armed with an ovulation kit I recorded my results into the website fertility friend.com and eventually found out that my actual ovulation date was 23 days into my...

Clear Blue Digital Testing

Advantages: Easy to understand results, Digital, Renowned,
Disadvantages: Fiddly, Results do not last long, Expensive

...My hubby is a technology person, so finding a digital pregnancy test seemed perfect to appeal to him. It also felt more professional to me. We bought this test for the added accuracy. It also had the added bonus of being a renowned brand. The test can be bought in single, twin or triple packs. They work out much cheaper the more you buy. A second test is always necessary in case something goes wrong or you cannot believe your results. Each pack comes with a digital reader and test sticks (1, 2 or 3 depending on pack purchased). It also has a leaflet with easy to follow instructions. However, as anyone doing a test, being eager to see the results you skim through the leaflet. With this test don't. It may invalidate your test. The tests are fiddly. You have to put in the test strip, then wait for it to light up, then start...

A Pregnancy Test for just £2.99

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Takes 2-3 minutes for results, have to wee in a container

...I found this product in my local chemist. I waited until all the customers had left the shop and then asked for a pregnancy test. I don't know why I did this as I had a wedding ring on and a 19 month old in a pram with me! I had a choice of one of the regular branded pack of two pregnancy tests for £13.99 or this one for a 'special price' of £2.99 for one. Not sure if this is the regular price but it had a big yellow sticker indicating the special price and it's not as if they wanted to clear the shelves as it's in date for over another year. Anyway, ANSWER calls itself the one step pregnancy test. For £2.99 I knew it wasn't to be a new fandangled digital test although I was surprised to see how basic it really was. +++ THE KIT ITSELF +++ For this 'one step' test, you get a box that is about 12 cm high that includes some...

Review of Answer One Test

Clearblue line in a minute

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...of the hormone "human Chorionic Gonadotrophin" otherwise known as "hGC, the pregnancy hormone". With the Clearblue and many other tests this can be detected from as early as the day your period is due. You also can test at any time of the day, you don't need to do it early morning. You would not believe the amount of women who have told me they first found out they were pregnant in the loo at our local Tescos! See they buy the tests (and get clubcard points) then they can't wait till they get home so they nip in the loo to take the test. To take the Clearblue test you need to hold the absorbent sampler (little stick like bit) under your urine stream for 5 seconds. If you find this hard to do (hey women were not built to pee on sticks – men were) you can collect a sample of urine in a container and immerse the sampler for 20 seconds. This is...

A pregnant pause..... or not

Advantages: A very easy and quick test, no waiting about for results (well, 1 minute!), Available in any chemist or supermarket
Disadvantages: Expensive for something you can get done at the doctors for free!

...sure what you're going to do if you ARE pregnant then time is of the essence. So this morning I thought sod it, I'll go and get home testing kit and I'll know in minutes. Off I toddled this morning to Boots to pick up a test. I was surprised at how much choice you've got! It's not as simple as going and picking a test up off the shelf and paying for it, there's a whole rack dedicated to telling women if they're pregnant or not! I chose Clearblue for the simple reason that it's a well known and respected brand and claims that it's over 99% accurate on the box. This sounds perfect. :o) Now, pregnancy tests work by detecting tiny amounts of hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) in a sample of your urine. This is the human pregnancy hormone and Clearblue can trace this in your urine from the day your period is due, this is good news...

Clearblue not always so clear

Advantages: Can buy box of 2 at reasonable price, quick & easy to use
Disadvantages: Not always a clear result

...pregnancy test and £11.99 for 2 tests so getting the box of two is better value for money & if you are unsure of the result you have a spare in the box. I think if I where ever to have to do another test I would go for the digital version, as this actually tells you pregnant or not pregnant, its a more expensive version but I think it would be worth the money to have that peace of mind with the result....
