15 x Ultra Early - 10mIU Wide Width 3.5mm Pregnancy Test Strips (Tests up to 6 Days Earlier)

I’ve used these for years for reassurance as I track my cycle naturally. They are great value for money and do the same as other tests just without the unnecessary plastic casing. These are particularly good during early pregnancy - you can take daily to make sure the line continues to get stronger without spending a fortune on plastic tests.

My GP UK confirmed these are legit tests. They detected the hormone level in my urine from implantation but showed through incredibly faint lines. I did get a mixture of positives and negatives but this could have been time of the day and how dilute my urine was. I have now confirmed the pregnancy with the GP.

I bought these as it was a much cheaper option than the traditional branded tests which often don't detect pregnancy until later than you might like. The dip sticks they use at the doctor's office are very simplistic and accurate and cost next to nothing, so when I saw this pack with a 10mIU/ml sensitivity (the lower the number, the higher the sensitivity, the sooner you can test) I figured I couldn't go wrong for the price! Unfortunately, these do not seem to be very accurate at all. They didn't detect even a hint of hCG until late enough that I was able to get an accurate result from a Clearblue test, which at 25mIU/mL is not even half as sensitive as these are. Even after the less sensitive test came up positive, these strips barely showed a positive result! Pregnancy tests are one of the few times where 'You get what you pay for' isn't necessarily true. Lateral flow tests are fairly basic technology that are difficult to get wrong except in cases of user error or defective test units. The control line for these tests shows a lovely, vivid line, but the positive result line is so faint at >25mIU/mL that you can barely be sure it's even there — and it wasn't there even slightly in the days preceeding the positive result. This is true of multiple test units and instructions were followed to the tee, so it's unlikely user error was at play. Poor quality materials or assembly, I'd wager. These will do in a pinch if you bought a pricey brand name test and you want to verify a positive, or if you've had a few false negatives and want to cheaply repeat the tests over a few weeks, but if you need a very accurate test for pressing reasons, you might do yourself a favour and give these a miss.

Excellent tests for the price. They're super cheap and also super accurate. I've used these a few times now and they're simple to use, have long expiry dates on them and work excellently. 5* from me all day long.

These pregnancy strips work in the same way as the shop bought ones except they are literally just a strip not all the extra plastic. The only difference in the way you use them is that you wee into a pot first and then dip the strip in, instead of weeing directly onto a plastic stick. These strips have very clear instructions on how to use and clearly explains what a positive/negative result looks like. Mine tested positive first time with two very clear lines! .. at the time I was already 8-9 weeks. I was pleased I could test as many times as I wanted as I had 15 strips for only a few pounds! Such good value for money compared to shop bought £10-£20 a go! I think what a lot of the negative comments refer to is that they are not as accurate/sensitive reading results before a period is due .. I purchased again a few years later and have used these recently for another pregnancy and tested many times over the last few months.. (again you don’t mind how many times you test for such good value) normally I have had just one clear line and absolutely nothing else.. then a period a few days later so that confirmed that!! .. Two weeks ago I tested just before I was due on and got a negative result.. a few days later still no period so I tested again and got a VERY faint line on the ‘test line’ but after a few minutes.. Next day, another test and an ever so slightly stronger line.. I’ve waited another week so it’s been nearly 7 weeks since my last period and tested this morning to get an instant result of two dark lines. (See pic) In all fairness it depends on each woman’s HCG level.. and how far along you are.. everyone is different. Good luck.
