6 best pregnancy tests

To date, pregnancy tests are presented in a wide range. There are several types of tests:

• Strip tests: special strips that need to be lowered into a container with urine, the sensitivity threshold is 10-25 mIU / ml (the amount of hCG in 1 ml of urine).
• Tablet: plastic case in which a window is located with a substance sensitive to HCG. In this window you need to add a few drops of urine. Threshold of sensitivity 10-25mme / ml.
• Inkjet: do not require urine collection in a separate container - the pregnancy test can be performed directly during urination by substituting the analyzer under the stream. The threshold of sensitivity of 10mu / ml.
• Electronic (digital): have several varieties and may be intended for repeated use or for determining the duration of pregnancy, etc.

Each type of test has its advantages and disadvantages. And what pregnancy tests are the best, and we will try to figure it out now.

The cost of packing with one strip dough is about 85 rubles.

The sensitivity of the pregnancy test Frautest Express begins with 15 mMUEC / ml and, according to the manufacturer, it can be used without waiting for the delay of menstruation, and 2 days before the date when (possibly) the countdown from the “missed” first day of menstruation begins. The results of the test determines in 3-5 minutes after you removed the strip from the container with urine.

disadvantages. The need to look for a urine container, fill it, hold a strip test for 10 seconds, and then think about how to dispose of a filled “container” —it is not very convenient in outdoor conditions.

Benefits This test for pregnancy - ease of use and high reliability of the results (up to 99%). Well, let's not pretend that the cost does not matter. The democratic price is a huge plus.

findings. One of the best tests for pregnancy. A well-deserved score of 10 points out of 10.

Reviews “I’m buying a test from this company twice, or rather, this time his husband bought it, and he didn’t let it down again. My opinion is that there is no need to buy expensive tests, even if they tend to show the number of weeks. This pregnancy test is reliable, sold in all pharmacies, it is convenient to use and attracts the price. "

The cost of a set of 5 strip tests to determine ovulation, 2 - for pregnancy and 7 disposable containers for collecting urine is about 380 rubles.

Another "nominee" from the Hungarian company Human takes the leading position in the ranking of the best tests for pregnancy. Frautest Planning is an excellent tool for women planning a pregnancy and wanting, “without departing from the cash register,” to be convinced of the fact of its occurrence (well, or the need to continue trying).

A well-thought-out package of this strip kit allows you to cover the entire period from the probable date of onset of ovulation and “catch” the moment you need to conceive before determining pregnancy (you can start testing 2 days before the expected day of delay). An additional bonus is disposable urine collection containers that are easy to dispose of and allow you to pass the test in all conditions.

disadvantages. The only downside is the high cost. But this is only at first glance: the same set, but “scattered” in individual packages will cost about 70 rubles more.

findings. The best pregnancy test for those who care not only about the right way of life from the first days of pregnancy, but also understands the importance of planning this crucial moment. Deserved a dozen!

Reviews. «I was mistaken several times when I used ovulation tests and pregnancy tests from different manufacturers.The consequences were, to put it mildly, painful for my nervous system. 3 months after using Frautesta for planning, I finally reached the correct “schedule”. The result - in the fourth month of the pregnancy test confirmed that you can rejoice. I highly recommend it - it's expensive, but it is reliable and not confusing with false results. ”

The cost of packing with 1 digital test is about 480 rubles.

Benefits. If we take per cent of quality per cent the accuracy with which the test determines the presence of pregnancy, then Clearblue Digital takes an incredibly high level: above 99%. Up to one hundred percent accuracy hand set, and this test today is one of the most reliable. But that's not all. In addition to the mark about the presence / absence of pregnancy ("+" - yes, "-" - no), a number will appear in the window indicating the gestational age in weeks. The format of indicators corresponds to the range of 1-2 weeks, 2-3 weeks and more than three (the image “3+” will appear on the display). If the conception did occur, then the accuracy of determining the term, according to the manufacturer and the results of the research, is 92%. Impressive, isn't it?

When a month is delayed, the test can be used from the first day of their intended start. But if you “wait unbearablely”, and the body persistently hints about your interesting situation in other ways (for example, the desire to eat a persimmon, after having smeared it with toothpaste), then the test can be performed 4 days before the date of probable delay.

disadvantages. Not all will consider determining the term of pregnancy a necessary function. Anyway, there will be a visit to the doctor, an ultrasound examination and blood tests - in the aggregate, all this will set a deadline without a test. But remember the "surprises" of pregnancy, which can quietly coexist along with regular periods. In this case, it is often important for a woman to understand: what is the term she is in and whether she has enough time to go to the antenatal clinic and to register. A classic example is a long business trip or a business trip, when the dilemma “to drop everything and go home vs still have time, you can wait” breaks all plans. So, the lack of it or not is up to you.

findings. Considering that setting an exact date without going to a doctor is far from being of interest to everyone, but this function makes the price “bite”, then the score is 9 out of 10.

Reviews. “I felt something was wrong, as soon as I arrived on vacation. With my floating and irregular monthly cycle, I assumed that pregnancy might not be at an early period. The test showed that I have been in the position for more than three weeks. I limited myself to rides and other active entertainment, and when I returned a week later, and went to a doctor, the deadline was already 6 weeks. The test is not deceived.

The cost of packing with one tablet dough is about 190 rubles.

Benefits. The main advantage relates, rather, to the design of the test: the tablet model allows for more uniform distribution of urine across the surface of the substrate with the reagent, which, accordingly, increases the reliability of the results. The second plus is the "clean" results. The reagent, which is located in the recess of the window, cannot be touched with your fingers even by chance, therefore possible contamination of the sample (far from a fantastic event, by the way) is simply excluded.

disadvantages. You may feel like a professor in a chemical laboratory, who carefully and carefully brings a special substance (urine) to the surface of a test object (test) so that an explosion does not happen. In fact, nothing will explode, except perhaps your patience if you are nervous and your hands are shaking. Therefore, it is better to conduct “experiments” at home, where you can afford to relax (or at least make an appearance) and finish the job.

findings. One of the best tablet tests for pregnancy, if you talk about the accuracy of the results.And this is the main reason why you decided to buy it, right? So, to give him an estimate of 10 out of 10 will be correct and fair.

Reviews. «For a long time I was treated for infertility and used only this test. I do not even know why - superstitiously afraid to change it to another. And after 2 years, he showed a positive result for the first time! Positive and correct».

The cost of packing with one jet dough is about 120 rubles.

Benefits. Fast and accurate results (up to 99% - if the test was carried out after the first day of delay), for which there is no need to collect urine - a great alternative to the stripline tradition. At the same time, in the cassette, which is a test, a control window is provided. Regardless of whether a positive result or not - if a red bar appeared in the control window - the test was carried out correctly.

disadvantages. The ability to test without the need to collect urine for someone will be very useful quality test for someone uncomfortable. But, as they say, you will not love everything to everyone - we will not rank this among the minuses.

findings. An excellent pregnancy test that fulfills its purpose in a comfortable home environment, as well as in “traveling” conditions, when there is no time or opportunity to search and fill a container for urine. In our opinion, 10 points is a well-deserved score.

Reviews. «I went to the hospital, and on the same day I remembered that there was already a delay for 2 days. I asked my husband to buy a test, he brought me Premium Diagnostics. I was worried that because of the large amount of drugs in my body, the test would fail. But the test worked as it should.!».

The cost of a package containing 1 strip test is about 15 rubles.

Benefits. Of course, the price - the first thing that starts to like. The second is the compactness of the test itself: the individual sealed package can fit in the smallest pocket and even the purse compartment and you are always fully armed.

disadvantages. The sensitivity threshold of the test starts from 20 mIU / ml. This means that in the early stages, or if you drank a lot of liquid before the test and the concentration of hCG in the urine dropped, you don’t always have to rely on a reliable result.

findings. Acceptable (even very much!) Price, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may be necessary to carry out a whole series of tests in order to confirm the results. This means that you may need to buy several such strip tests at once, which in total will exceed the cost of one, but more sensitive, from another manufacturer. Therefore, the score is 8 out of ten.

Reviews. «Even before the wedding podnakupila different tests. Among all the tests was this one, Lady test. Price - a penny. Inside the blue striped. From cheap pregnancy tests this is the best. Really showed two stripes, to which I was very happy. The remaining tests showed the second one very weak or none, and this one is bright. ”

How does a pregnancy test work?

The moment when a woman finds out that she will become a mother is a turning point in the life of any woman. Monthly calendar does not always tell the truth: often only at 3-4 months of pregnancy, the expectant mother begins to suspect that it is.

Ultrasound and other research methods are not always able to detect pregnancy in the early stages. Vicious circle? Maybe. But you can soak it with the help of pregnancy tests.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced by the shell of the ovum from the moment it attaches to the wall of the uterus. That is, 6-8 days after conception. In the blood, this substance appears almost immediately, in the urine - 2-3 days later. But blood tests take time and do not always have it. But a test that can be bought on the way from work will determine pregnancy at the earliest time with no less certainty. And the sooner the future mother learns about pregnancy, the faster she will change her way of life according to her position.

Be healthy!
