Review :- 
This pregnancy test SUCKS!
I bought this at Watson. I hated it so much that I even scanned it!
(So that I can warn others)
I complained to WATSON via email but never received any reply.

My UPT at the doctor was clearly positive.
YET, THIS test gave me negative's' - twice.

Review :- Clearblue Digital Mid-Stream (With Conception Indicator) - Malaysia

Brand : Clearblue Digital with Conception Indicator
(Comes in a 'single' pack)

Known Sensitivity :- 25miu/ml
Format : Mid-Stream
Cost : RM 29.90 per pc !!!
Total Spent :- RM 59++ for 2 tests


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.
