Comparing Home Pregnancy Tests

When you think you might be pregnant, whether expected, planned or unexpected, and you want to know the results as early as possible, it is important that a home pregnancy test be accurate. Additionally, when you are nervous or excited about the test results, it's also important that the home pregnancy test be easy to use and read.

So when you find yourself in need of a home pregnancy test, which one should you choose? Searching the Internet product reviews for pregnancy tests, three home pregnancy test kits are clearly consistently rated above the others. Let's take a look at them now.

First Response Early Result Home Pregnancy Test

First Response Early Result clinical testing, according to the product insert information, indicates it may detect pregnancy as soon as four days prior to a missed period. Clinical testing indicates a 95% accuracy rate in detecting the pregnancy hormone on the first day of a missed period and only increases in accuracy each day after the missed period. In consumer testing, it has ranked highest on user ratings on the majority of product review websites, and has consistently scored favorable reviews or ratings on retail websites where ratings/reviews are allowed.

This home pregnancy test comes with a test stick with an absorbent tip, which you can use to dip in urine or urinate directly on the tip, preferably first thing in the morning, and then wait three minutes. After the three minute wait, the results window will display two pink lines if pregnant, and one pink line if not pregnant.

First Response Early Result is one of the few home pregnancy test kits available in one, two or three test packages. The recommended testing is to purchase a two test kit, test once when you think you might be pregnant, and then test again one week later to confirm the results. First Response Early Result home pregnancy test kits allow you the flexibility to do this. With an average retail price of about $15 for the two pregnancy test kit, First Response Early Result is a bit more expensive than generic brands, but shows to be a good value for home pregnancy tests.
