PREGMATE30 Pregnancy Test Strips (30 Pack)

I am editing my review since I now have something more to go on.. these have been great! If you are anything like me and want to test as early and often as you can, and not go broke doing it then get these!! I had no result at 7 and 8 DPO, but on day 9 I got a very faint line which you can see in my photo, and from there on they have been getting darker and darker.. 9 DPO for me is 5 days prior to missed period, so I would say these have been very sensitive and accurate. Going to doctor soon to confirm, but will keep doing 2x tests a day with these until then to make sure line is getting darker and darker!

Let me preface this by saying I used to use the old Pregmate tests with the blue handle, and I loved them. I'm writing a review for the new tests. We have been trying to conceive for three years now. I bought these tests because I like the OPKs a lot, and how wide the strips are. These are the same width, which is great, but that's where the goodness ends.I've used maybe half of these tests. Half of the ones I've used have had horrible dye runs. Almost all of them have faint seconds lines. I follow the directions exactly and have taken a million tests before - this is definitely not my first time. The first time I got two lines, I was ecstatic. I immediately got a blood test, which was negative. Every other test I took was negative. I took another one of these and it had a faint second line. I even took one of these tests during AF, and it had two lines.These tests broke my heart. We have had multiple losses and while I didn't actually lose anything this time, it sort of felt like I did. Until they fix these tests, I will not be purchasing again, and I recommend other women stay away as well.

Honestly wish I could give this zero stars. These start out with a very noticeable line which the other brand I was using did NOT have. Horrible for early testing when you may be looking for a faint line. Also had one with a HORRIBLE indent. Honestly these are just trash for early testing. I am not pregnant and for someone who has gone through a miscarriage this is extremely upsetting.

*UPDATE* I did get a BFP and had my rainbow baby! The Pregmate tests again gave me a positive result at the same time as the First Response, and they were able to show HCG level progression when I tested a few days in a row at the begining. I will continue to buy them for my next journey.------I got a super faint line on one of these in April, I was only 11 dpo. I tested with a FRER (first response) the next morning and the line was faint in it too, so these are almost comparable to the top brand, early result test, for a fraction of the price. Unfortunately I lost that pregnancy, but these still came in handy to track down how much HCG I had left in my system. I will continue to use them moving forward and will hopefully see another positive on them soon, with a better outcome. One thing to keep in mind and that might be confusing: you might still get a very, very, very faint gray line even if not pregnant, so make sure you're looking at a pink line, that's a positive.

I do like this company’s ovulation tests, and I credit those along the Natural Cycles app in helping us get pregnant. But these Hcg tests were too insensitive for my very patience. These strips gave me negatives 14 dpo (days past ovulation), then again at 18 dpo. Finally at 19 dpo, I got a faint positive.I had started feeling pregnant around 10 dpo so I imagine that’s when implantation occurred for me. On 14 dpo, I took a First Response test that was right away positive confirming my suspicions. Basically, moral of my story was these tests do work, but don’t expect a positive response for a very long time.
