Price:
Free super saver delivery ( mine arrived in 2 days)
Quality:
CE marked and FDA cleared. 10mIU/ml sensitivity
Ease of use:
The instructions are clearly written with a diagram to show the how the test results should look like.
Main advantages:
- Cheap! Less than 20pence per test, that works out to 5% of the cost of a typical test (around £6)
- Sensitive (can detect early pregnancy), since it is at 10mIU/ml level, which is comparable and even more sensitive than most top brands. There are more information about sensitivity of pregnancy tests here: http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html#faq
- Small,discrete individual package (12 x 6cm). Can keep in my bag, just in case I want to have sushi for dinner.
- Discrete, fast delivery from Amazon.
- Collecting urine in a small cup is easier than imagined after 1-2 tries.
Main disadvantages:
- Short strips, about 6-7cm, and you should only expose the area of about 2 cm to urine. This makes it quite challenging "aiming". If you expose the area above the "Mark line" (see diagram), you may void the test. The easiest is to collect a small amount into a small clean disposable cup, and "dunk" the strip there. This is easy after 1-2 tries.
- If you carry the test in your bag, be careful not to fold the strips.
- Addictive. Because it is so easy and cheap, you might want to do it even before another ibuprofen for your headache.
Will I use/buy it again?
Yes! If testing is so cheap, I see no reason not too test.
It spares me from having to avoid "risky" behaviours such as having a glass of champagne or having a spa session which involves soaking in a jacuzzi or a nice meal of sushi.
I was put off by the urine collection step, but learned how to do it easily after 1-2 tries. Very easy. Worth the trouble for a fraction of the usual price.
I am going to buy the ovulation test kit next.
