Review :- One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test (Made In USA)

Brand : ONE STEP HCG URINE PREGNANCY TEST

MADE IN USA (as stated on pack)

Known Sensitivity :- 10miu/ml (seller claims)

Format : 2.0 mm (width)

Cost : On average RM 1.20 per pc

Total Spent :- about RM 120.00 for 100 tests (UK Seller) 

Review :- 

These test strips occasionally gave me false faint positive when I am quite sure I'm NOT PREGNANT.

It could be evaporation line that forms within the test period (5 minutes).

Some argue that certain women may have little HCG in their system all the time,

I agree 

BUT,

In my case, same sample, two strips (from the same purchase), one negative, one a very faint positive.

That's why I like to use 25miu/ml strips. 

Common lab standard states 25 miu/ml and above as being "PREGNANT"! 

Pros :- 

Cheap in bulk. When you are indeed pregnant, and HCG is rising, results are quite consistent.

Cons :- 

Confusing false faint positives (probably evaporation) occurring within test time limit.

UPDATE : This UPT totally sucks ... try to avoid. Have heard of similar experience in a forum!!

This pregnancy test SUCKS!

I bought this at Watson. I hated it so much that I even scanned it!

My UPT at the doctor was clearly positive.

YET, THIS test gave me negative's' - twice.

Review :- 

This test is pretty cool but expensive.

Good for confirmation.

No lines. Just words and numbers!

It has an internal battery that will run out after a day or so,quick must take photo!

I remember getting "Pregnant 1-2" back in Jun-11

Then, another "Pregnant 1-2" in Jul-11

Unfortunately one was chemical and the other ended in a miscarriage.

Pros : These digital tests are so cool! Good for confirmation. Not confusing!

Cons : $$$$

Review :- Guardian Pharmacy Pregnancy Test - Malaysia

Brand : Guardian Pharmacy Pregnancy Test Strips (similar to mid-stream BUT NOT!)

(Comes in a 'single' and 'twin' pack)

Known Sensitivity :- 25miu/ml

Cost : On average RM 6.50 per pc

Total Spent :- RM 65.00 for 10 tests or so.

Review :- 

Now that I've tried several pregnancy tests. This to me is a big width test strip, held together by a plastic holder so that we can pee directly on it! 

I bought this "Guardian Pharmacy Test Strip" as it was the most affordable on the shelf! 

Rests were (and still are) pretty expensive!

Tried in Jun-2011, when I first suspected pregnancy.

6 days before my expected period - Faint lines appeared near to the 10 minutes mark.

The lines were so faint that they were questionable if it was an evaporation or 'real'.

Finally confirmed 'both times' on a Clearblue Digital (with conception indicator).

Pros : These test strips are easily available at Guardian Pharmacy. Good to test if you are already 'late' for your period but not before. Definitely not an Early Pregnancy Test!

Cons : It says its sensitivity level is 25miu/ml but I doubt so, especially with the faint confusing lines.
