At the first symptoms of pregnancy, a woman rushes to the pharmacy to conduct a diagnostic test. Sometimes his purchase is disappointing. The product does not correspond to the declared characteristics and causes distrust for strips of this kind. But if you use proven tests and strictly follow the instructions, you can get the right result, find out about pregnancy even before visiting a doctor.
Types of pregnancy tests
The range of pregnancy tests in pharmacies is quite wide. And they differ not only in the manufacturer. In addition to the standard options in the form of a thin strip, other varieties are now being produced. The following are all types of pregnancy tests that can be found in most pharmacies.
test strip. The most affordable tool that should be used most often early in the morning by lowering the test strip into the urine.
Jet. It is brought under a stream of urine for a few seconds and laid out on a horizontal surface.
Tablet. Cheaper than the inkjet version, but more precisely strips. Using a pipette, you need to drop a little urine into a special window.
Digital. It has the same principle as the test strip. The result appears on the screen. In the case of a positive result, the number of weeks from the moment of conception is displayed.
It is quite difficult to choose the best test: some are overpriced, others do not always give reliable results. Everyone chooses what is convenient for him. Some people like inkjet tests, others are sure that tablet options are better.
The best early pregnancy tests
For many centuries in a row, women were finally convinced that they were pregnant only when they felt the movement of the fetus. Modern ladies are not able to wait so long, and there is no need to do this.Pregnancy tests allow you to make sure that you have it literally in the first days of the delay or even before it.
4 IND Diagnostic Lady Test
Country: Canada
Average price: 62 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Many women choose this tablet-type test in the early stages for the successful combination of low price and high-quality results. According to the manufacturer, it can be used already on the first day of missed menstruation. The most reliable result, according to reviews, is obtained when applied for 5-12 days. It is very comfortable to use such a budget tool, since the package includes a mini-cassette, a pipette and an instruction that describes in detail the principle and sequence of actions.
All working elements are hermetically sealed, which eliminates the possibility of moisture or dirt getting on the reagent during the pre-test period. Sensitivity is 20 mIU / ml, this allows you to diagnose pregnancy in a matter of seconds after a couple of drops of urine enter a special window. Evidence of this are two bright purple stripes.
3 Innotech BB test
Country: France
Average price: 150 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The main advantage of this test over analogues is its high performance when used even before the delay of menstruation (for 3-4 days). An innovative reagent applied to the strip, which is able to detect gonadotropin in the urine as early as 2 days after conception, is considered one of the most sensitive. This figure is 10 mIU / ml!
However, to obtain the correct result, you must follow the instructions exactly.The test strip is disposable, the package is opened immediately before the contents are lowered into a clean, dry container with urine, preferably morning. The waiting time is 5-10 minutes, after 15 minutes the assessment is considered unreliable. The manufacturer claims that the accuracy of the test reading reaches 99%. On sale, the product can be purchased individually to find out about the long-awaited pregnancy in the early stages. But, unfortunately, this test is not sold in all apteah.
How and when is it better to take a pregnancy test
- the highest concentration of hormones is in the first morning portion of urine;
- despite the fact that the principle of operation of all tests is the same, there are nuances in the procedure itself: carefully read the instructions;
- do not postpone a visit to the doctor in case of a positive result: whatever your further intentions, a positive test in itself does not insure against ectopic pregnancy and other possible complications.
2 Clearblue Digital
Country: Switzerland
Average price: 429 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
It is assumed that this test is able to determine pregnancy 5 days before a possible delay. Why is this nothing more than a marketing ploy, we told, describing the leader of our rating. In the same way, one should be skeptical about the fact that the test is supposedly able to determine the gestational age. The increase in chorionic gonadtropin both in the blood and in the urine is an individual process and depends on many factors, up to the drinking regimen. Therefore, you should not blindly trust the numbers in the window.
But if you do not place unjustified expectations on it in the early stages, the test is quite convenient to use. No need to collect urine in a container, just place the strip under the stream.The digital screen shows the presence or absence of pregnancy, its estimated duration (as we have already said, the numbers are very approximate), which is most convenient - the data is stored for a day, while ordinary paper tests often disappear.
1 Frautest Express Ultra Sensitive
Country: Germany
Average price: 89 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The manufacturer claims that the test is able to determine pregnancy two days before the expected delay due to its high sensitivity to minimal concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin. Doctors and pharmacists agree that this is a marketing ploy. And that's why.
As you know, the menstrual cycle is considered starting from the first day of discharge. On average, with a 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs on the 14-15th day, that is, 2 weeks before the delay. The egg retains the ability to fertilize for 3 days. After that, for another 6 to 8 days, it moves through the fallopian tube into the uterine cavity before implantation occurs. That is, the production of chorionic gonadotropin will begin no earlier than the 6-8th day after fertilization, but if you count from the day of ovulation - on the 6-11th day. But just getting started! In order for the test to “feel” the hormone, its amount in the urine must reach a certain concentration. For Frautest, this is 15 mIU / ml. The level of the hormone grows differently for everyone, but on average it takes a week to reach such numbers. In total, we have a spread from 13 to 18 days after ovulation, which does not fit into the “two days before the expected delay” indicated by the manufacturer. Nevertheless, marketing is marketing, but the test is inexpensive and accurate enough, judging by the reviews, unless, of course, you expect the impossible from it.It is made in the traditional format of a paper strip with indicators, which must be dipped into a urine sample and wait for the result. Takes a place in the ranking for the best economy.
Best Reliable Pregnancy Tests
These tests accurately and confidently diagnose pregnancy at the time for which they are intended: from the very first days of the delay. And this fact is confirmed by numerous reviews.
4 Attest
Country: China
Average price: 53 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A cheap but accurate pregnancy test is sold in most pharmacies and costs about 50 rubles. Sensitivity is 20-25 mIU/ml, which is the standard value for inexpensive options. The principle of operation and the method of use are classic, the strip is lowered into a container with urine for 30 seconds, after which the result is evaluated within 5-10 minutes. I am glad that in most cases it is reliable, errors are very rare.
So, if you need an expensive and high-quality test that gives a reliable result, you can safely buy Attest. He usually doesn't disappoint. The only thing that women do not like is that the strip is too narrow, it is not very convenient to use the test. But otherwise it is one of the best budget options with high accuracy.
3 FEAtest
Country: Canada
Average price: 125 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The classic test for determining pregnancy does not have the highest sensitivity (20 mIU / ml), but it always gives a clear result without errors, which can be understood from the feedback of women. The advantages include a wide test strip. This slight refinement of the manufacturer made it possible to make the evaluation of the result more convenient. Moreover, the stripes always appear clearly, you don’t have to peer carefully.The test is inexpensive, sold in packs of 2, so that users can re-analyze if in doubt.
At the moment, from the entire range of pharmacies, this is one of the most accurate, but at the same time affordable tests. In addition to the reliability of the result, the clarity of the strips, women attribute to the merits the possibility of conducting a test in the daytime or in the evening. Many people know for themselves how difficult it is to wait for the morning.
Why are there false results?
- A false negative result occurs if the test is taken too early. Sometimes the desired level of hormones is reached only 2 weeks after the delay.
- A false positive result is possible with ovarian dysfunction or spontaneously interrupted in the early stages of pregnancy. Yes, defective implantation of the fetal egg happens quite often, and in the “pre-test” times no one would have noticed it: there was a delay and it passed. Other possible causes: an expired test and thyroid disease.
2 MediSmart Early Pregnancy
Country: Switzerland
Average price: 190 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A fairly effective tool for diagnosing an interesting situation in the early stages. Moreover, false results are practically excluded. You can apply this test 6-9 days after conception, which in the reviews, users highlight Swiss production among the positive aspects. Accordingly, even a week before the expected onset of menstruation, you can get a high-quality, accurate result.
This test is available in both cassette and inkjet form. Both of these options are very popular, especially the second one, since it does not require the preparation of a special container for preliminary collection of urine.However, no one cancels the hygiene procedure. It is allowed to conduct a “test” at any time of the day, it is not necessary to focus specifically on the morning hours. The sensitivity of the reagent to hCG is at around 20 mIU / ml. But in order to use this particular test, you have to look for it. It is not common, not available in most pharmacies.
1 Evitest Proof
Country: Germany
Average price: 275 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
A cassette pregnancy test in which the reagent strip itself is enclosed in a plastic cassette. A pipette is attached to the test - it is believed that the result will be more accurate if the sample is applied to the test accurately, dotted. Reviews about how convenient it is to use such a test were divided approximately in half: for some, additional manipulations with the pipette seemed like an unnecessary inconvenience, for others, on the contrary. After 4-5 minutes, you can evaluate the result, but you can not wait more than 10 minutes.
In reviews, women often praise the test for accuracy. But there are practically no complaints about the unreliability of the results. The exception is diagnostics at very early stages, when not a single test can yet determine pregnancy. That is why the test ranks among the best reliable tests in our ranking.
The best pregnancy planning tests
Someone is lucky: the desired pregnancy comes literally from the first attempt, causing even slight bewilderment: how, already? For some, the path to the long-awaited “two stripes” is long and difficult, you have to use all possible ways to find out the time of ovulation in order to increase your chances. It is these couples who can benefit from pregnancy planning tests, which, in fact, determine the time of ovulation, when the chances of getting pregnant are highest.
4 IND Diagnostic MiAPlan
Country: Canada
Average price: 392 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A very handy set of test strips, five of which show the level of LH and one early pregnancy. This is a convenient option for those who have an irregular cycle and, accordingly, an ovulation date that is difficult to plan for conception. Before use, be sure to check the expiration date of the contents of the package and the tightness of storage of each strip. If the quality of the product is not in doubt, then it remains to be analyzed. Before this, it is not recommended to use the toilet for 2-3 hours and drink plenty of fluids.
The test strip is considered quite effective and accurate (sensitivity 30 mIU / ml). The included litmus test for pregnancy can serve as confirmation. As a minus, users note the identical appearance of both tests, which can lead to confusion when storing them and misunderstandings.
3 Eviplan
Country: Germany
Average price: 469 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
If the long-awaited pregnancy does not occur, then it is time to switch from tests focused on the presence of hCG in the urine to markers whose reagent detects the concentration of luteinizing hormone in the body. This proposal is a paper strip with a green area to hold on to while performing the analysis and a white area. On the latter, a strip appears already 10 seconds after a short-term immersion in urine. It may be brighter or paler than the test strip next to it.
On this basis, the onset of ovulation is determined, respectively, the days favorable for conception.In the reviews, women indicate the high accuracy of the result with proper preparation for the test, the possibility of conducting an analysis at any time. Moreover, to obtain high-quality data, it is necessary to reduce the volume of fluid consumed in 1-4 hours and not use the first morning urine. The sensitivity of the reagent is 25 mIU/ml.
2 "Clover" "I was born"
Country: Russia
Average price: 127 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The high price of the test is not always an indicator of its best quality. The Russian development clearly demonstrates this. The cute package contains 5 strips of happiness, each of which is sealed in a moisture-proof mini-case. They must be used in the same way as the rest of the tests of this type. In the middle of the cycle, on the days of the expected ovulation, urine should be taken into a clean container, but for the accuracy of the result, it is necessary to prepare in advance for the procedure strictly according to the instructions.
After the strip with the applied reagent falls into the urine for 15 seconds, it is recommended to remove it and place it horizontally for 10 minutes. According to the degree of coloring of the test line, it can be concluded that ovulation is approaching. The accuracy of the result, both according to the manufacturer and according to the reviews of women, is more than 99%. However, remember that the strip is not opened from the mini-package in advance, but immediately before the test.
1 Frautest Planning
Country: Germany
Average price: 450 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
In fact, this is a whole diagnostic kit: the package contains 5 tests for determining the time of ovulation, two pregnancy tests and 5 containers for collecting urine.And this is not overkill: ovulation stably occurs on the 14th day of the cycle only in the literature, but in fact, the time of its onset can deviate by 1-3 days in one direction or another, so it is possible to “get” on the day of ovulation on the first attempt not always. The test will be especially useful for ladies with an irregular cycle, when the calculations are ineffective and, in principle, cannot be so. For the fact that the manufacturers of the test took care of everything, up to the containers for collecting the analysis, the product got into our rating of the best.
The best pregnancy tests of Russian companies
The release of analyzers to determine the fact of conception is carried out not only by foreign companies. Domestic pharmaceuticals sells several diagnostic analyzers presented in the form of strips and cassettes. The best of them deserve to be ranked.
4 Bee Sure-S
Country: Russia
Average price: 17 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The Bee Sure-S pregnancy test from the Russian manufacturer Factor-Med has no competitors in terms of accuracy and low price. One test strip costs less than 20 rubles. The sensitivity is not the highest - 25 mIU / ml, but it does not give false positive results. The test can be found in any pharmacy, but it is not always displayed on the window, so it makes sense to ask the pharmacist if it is available. The principle of operation and method of use is no different from most similar options.
Judging by the numerous reviews of women, the accuracy is decent in most cases, but the workmanship of the test strip itself leaves much to be desired. It is thin, narrow, sticks out during use, so you have to act carefully.
3 "Clover" "Bereginya"
Country: Russia
Average price: 100 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A well-known Russian manufacturer offers test strips that can be purchased at pharmacies in packs of two or one. In the first case, the white box has a purple decor and costs 100 rubles, in the second case it is green, the price is 70 rubles. The principle of operation of this test is standard: after opening an additional sealed mini-package, a litmus test is placed in prepared urine for 10 seconds and then placed on a horizontal surface. Thanks to the sensitivity of 12.5 mIU/ml, the waiting time for the result takes only 1-5 minutes.
In addition, it is an effective way to determine the onset of pregnancy 1-5 days before a missed period. The advantages of the product, future mothers in the reviews include its safety, the strength of the strips, the budget cost, high-precision performance, good availability in retail chains. This is the best way to quickly confirm your suspicions about the onset of pregnancy, when the first external signs have not yet appeared, and to please your loved ones with the news of the upcoming replenishment of the family.
2 "Faith"
Country: Russia
Average price: 40 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The goods are produced by the Russian company FM TRADE LLC. Buyers note that, despite the low cost, the strip itself is made with high quality and “does not fall apart in the hands.” You need to keep it in urine for 30 seconds, unlike other analyzers, where 10 seconds is enough. In this case, the result is important, not speed. As a result, stripes clearly appear on the strip, often the final indicators are accurate.
Many women who later confirmed their pregnancy at the gynecologist say that the Vera test showed them two clear lines. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the fact that the goods are not always on sale.
1 "Rest assured"
Country: Russia
Average price: 40 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This is one of the most popular tests among Russian girls, produced by MED-EXPRESS-DIAGNOSTICS LLC. The strip strip shows accurate results due to the hypersensitivity to the hormone of their chorionic tissue in the biological fluid. The strip is lowered into a portion of urine and kept according to the requirements of the instructions. The result is evaluated after a few minutes. The appearance of a control band indicates that the analyzer is suitable for use.
The goods have all necessary certificates of conformity in accordance with GOST. Its price is perhaps the lowest of all the brands presented. The test is also available in inkjet form. Diagnosis can be made from the first day of delayed menstruation.
Best Inkjet Pregnancy Tests
Inkjet tests to determine early pregnancy are becoming more and more popular for one simple reason - they are much more convenient to use. No need to prepare a container or drip urine into a special window with a pipette. To evaluate the result, it is enough to substitute a certain part of the test under the stream of urine for a few seconds. In pharmacies, you can find inkjet tests of different brands.
4 Premium Diagnostics First sign
Country: USA
Average price: 389 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A unique in its kind inkjet test that determines the onset of pregnancy as early as 7 days after the expected date of conception, this may be a week before the delay. Its sensitivity is 10 mIU / ml, competitors have options with the same indicator, but at the same time they are less susceptible to the level of the hCG hormone. The test is expensive, but high-quality, made in the USA. The result, as in other similar models, is evaluated in 3-5 minutes. You can test at any time of the day, but in the morning you are more likely to get true data.
The original tests of the brand are really very accurate, as many women write about in the reviews. But in rare cases, it occurs that they do not determine pregnancy, not even at the earliest possible date. This may be due to marriage or the presence of fakes. Another disadvantage is that you can not find this test in every pharmacy.
3 Milatest Comfort
Country: Russia
Average price: 217 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The jet cassette with cap is very comfortable to use. It has an optimal shape, fits comfortably in the hand. The sensitivity is high enough (12.5 mIU/ml) to detect pregnancy 2-3 days before a missed period. It is convenient that testing can be carried out at any time of the day, and not only in the morning. The result should be evaluated after 3-5 minutes, after 10 minutes it is already considered unreliable. For all its merits, this is the most affordable inkjet test in our ranking.
According to women, the test is really very sensitive, it shows the correct result 5 days before the delay. True, at this time the second strip is still very pale. Pleases customers and good workmanship.The body of the dough is made of high-quality plastic, has a really convenient shape. A small defect of the manufacturer - the window is closed with transparent plastic, which glares in the light, making it difficult to see the result.
2 FRAUTEST Exclusive
Country: Germany
Average price: 304 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
With this test, it is difficult to break the method of conducting, since the cap snaps very tightly. Another feature of the product is that the manufacturer made sure that it was not only convenient for women to use the test, but also pleasant. Unlike analogues, it has an interesting design. The sensitivity is high - 15 mIU / ml, but, despite this, the test does not sin with false results. The manifestation of even a very pale second strip should be regarded as a pregnancy. It is recommended to use it from the first day of a delay in menstruation, it does not make much sense to do a test earlier.
A plus can be put for a sufficiently large number of positive reviews from women. They highly appreciated its accuracy, interesting design. In their opinion, the cap snaps on really tight, errors due to the fault of the user are excluded. But there is still one flaw - a very small window in a plastic case, through which it is difficult to see the stripes that have appeared.
1 Femitest Ultra Expert
Country: Great Britain
Average price: 233 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
The manufacturer of this test promises diagnostics at the earliest stages of pregnancy, 4 days before the delay. This is possible due to the high sensitivity of 10 mIU/ml. It is convenient to use it, like all similar tests.You need to place the tip under the stream of urine, then put it on a horizontal surface and evaluate the result after 3-5 minutes. Due to the fact that you do not need to use cups, you can spend it anywhere, and not just at home.
The sensitivity of the test is really high, but sometimes this causes an effect that confuses women. If you evaluate the result after more than 5 minutes, a second barely visible strip may appear, which does not always indicate an onset of pregnancy. So it is better to focus on clear indicators, and if in doubt, re-test. But in most cases, this option allows you to find out about pregnancy at the earliest possible date, when the second strip does not yet appear on analogues from other manufacturers.
