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...

Review of Clearblue 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...

Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit

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...

Review of Pregnancy tests in general

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

Quick, accurate results

Advantages: Accurate, fast working
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive.

...windows went blue almost immediately. Even so I waited for a few minutes more to see if it was an initial reaction that faded. It didn't and the test said I was pregnant. I showed my husband the result but was pretty flabbergasted. My husband and I had decided to try for a baby around four weeks before our wedding day, knowing that we would not ruin anything but we had not expected it to happen so quickly. At the time of the test I was six weeks pregnant, which means that I was possibly pregnant already when we decided to try, or it happened straight away. We were in disbelief so decided to use the second test the next morning to be sure. Although the testing kits do tend to be accurate at any time of the day, the pregnancy hormone is stronger in the morning when urine is more concentrated. This is why we wanted to do the second test...

Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit

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...

Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit

Digital results from clearblue

Advantages: Quick and acurate results
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...What is it. Well, a pregnancy test quite unlike any other's on the market at the moment. It is over 99% accurate and uses a digital display instead of the usual dots and lines found on other products, so the days of trying to decipher you result are over. You get a clear not pregnant or pregnant in 3 minutes. Where from and how much. This product is available from most supermarket chains and chemists. On initial inspection at £14.95 it looks more expensive than it's counterparts. For this money you get 3 tests and a digital reader. So each test works out at around £5 around the same as other products, the standard clearblue was sold for around £10 for 2 tests. What is on the box. The packaging is quite eye catching in white and dark blue and is quite unmistakeable amoungst other products. There is a clear window in...

Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit

A result in 1 minute!!

Advantages: Give you a result in 1 minute!
Disadvantages: A bit pricey!

...I?ve never had to do a pregnancy test before so I was a bit confused when I went to my local Boots and discovered the range of test available. As I did not want to wait another day to do the test I chose that one as you can do it straight away! I have to admit that the name sounded familiar so I felt more confident on its accuracy (the magic of advertising hey!!). It also says on the box that it?s 99% accurate and that this is the test that doctors recommend you to do (can?t get any better than that really!!) The test: The test looks like a white stick with a blue cap on one hand and 2 little windows (one for the result and another little one to tell you when the test is finished. It?s either sold on its own or per box of 2 wrapped separately with an instruction leaflet. You can take the test anytime during the day and you don...

Review of Clearblue Pregnancy Test Kit

A Pregnancy Test for just £2.99

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

...in a traditional style of packet for pregnancy tests although it's half the size. You then need to check you've got it the right way up by looking at the information leaflet, there's a thumb grip at the top which is blue and thicker than the rest of the stick and the opposite end is the dipping stick. The stick is very similar in size and material to the wee sticks they check your urine on at the GP's. You dip the stick into the wee for AT LEAST 10 seconds. After this time, you need to put the test on a flat surface. The test takes 2-3 minutes to give a result, one pink line, not positive, two pink lines, positive. If after 5 minutes you do not have a result, the test is void. Also if the negative result looks faintly positive after 10 minutes, it's still negative. +++ MY PREGNANCY TEST +++ After reading the instructions...
