Clear and Simple HCG Pregnancy Test Strips - Pack of 3 Test Strips

Product Information

They’re darker than my first response early response, and I can turn positives on my first, second, or gazillionth wee of the day. If the result is negative, it may be a good idea to take another test in a few days, to give the hCG levels a chance to rise. With many happy users thanks to the easy-to-read results, one mum commented, “This is a very good product. You can test up to four days before your period is due, but it’s worth knowing that it only offers 65% accuracy at that point, so it’s best to wait until the day your period is due when it’s 99% accurate. With so many home pregnancy tests available – everything from simple sticks to flashy digital tests that show you how many weeks pregnant you are – it’s hard to know which one to pick.

Pregnancy tests work by measuring the amount of pregnancy hormone hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadoropin) in your urine - so it's important you wait until enough hCG has built up to show on a test. However, according to instructions and based on many mums’ experiences, it’s best to use these tests the day after your period is due. If you find this a bit tricky you can always take a urine sample and dip the tip into this instead – the results will be the same. There are two main types of urine pregnancy tests - those which work by being held midstream as you wee and others which are designed to be dipped into a collected sample for a specific amount of time.It’s worth remembering, that whilst all home pregnancy tests vary in terms of sensitivity and method of use, they are generally accurate so long as they are used correctly. These good value sensitive tests can be used up to 4 days before the first day of your missed period (3 days before your period is due), and although the plain white plastic wand looks pretty basic, you can easily use this test midstream, while you wee. Mine always showed up immediately with these tests, they’re just super quick at showing a positive I think! We've rounded up the best pregnancy tests according to mums, from early detection tests to those which deliver results in less than a minute and even pregnancy tests which tell you how far along you are.

If you’re not sure when your next period is due, aim to test at least 21 days after you last had unprotected sex. You can test as early as 4 days before your missed period (5 days before your period is due), but this can only give you 64% accuracy. We agree with the advice from doctors, midwives and fertility experts - to wait until the day after your period is due or at least until the test you’re using has 99% accuracy. However, the NHS generally advises that you take a pregnancy test from the first day of a missed period.We’ve analysed the home pregnancy test market and, along with user reviews and feedback from mums, have rounded up the best ones and their key features.

I am being but I've brought about six different boxes from different places and started with barley visible and now it's that. Fast, simple and reliable, the First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test (or 'FRER' as it's more commonly known on Mumsnet) is one brand of pregnancy test which has been highly recommended by Mumsnet users for years for providing the most accurate results. Whilst this is a frequent topic of discussion on the Mumsnet Conception boards, the general consensus is usually that pink dye tests - such as First Response Early Result tests - are more trustworthy than blue dye tests, which can be more likely to show evaporation lines and even false positives. If you prefer, however, you can also ask for a pregnancy test free of charge with your GP or at your local sexual health clinic.

We vetted their experiences to learn more about the tests they found easy to use, easy to interpret and, most importantly, believed to be a reliable and accurate measure of pregnancy.The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test With Weeks is the most expensive test in our round-up, but for easy to understand results, in less than 3 minutes, and the added bonus of knowing how many weeks pregnant you are, it can be worth the cost. I’ve looked after a few mums who have misread results or taken a test too early, got a false negative and not repeated the test. Because hCG increases so rapidly in the early days of pregnancy, getting the day of ovulation wrong by 1–2 days can affect the result of a pregnancy test.
