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

Great value pack of pregnancy tests. They provide reliable results. They are too small/thin to hold in a stream of urine, in my opinion. I use them with a plastic disposable cup. Would recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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.
