I was so excited whenI saw the price on these tests, but after using five of them before even getting the TEST CONFIRMATION line to show up, I was over it. I used them as directed, but when I contacted the merchant to ask why the test line might not show up, I was told, "well, you have to hold your thumb over the test window as you use it." This is not, however in the instructions, so I wasted five tests. Now that I know, I have still had trouble with the test line. Basically, you have to use a sterile cup and use them as a dip test. Not exactly what I expected. Skip this product. Buy the Target Store brand tests that work and only cost $4 each. It is worth the extra money for your frustration.

Great price, fast shipping, but not as advertised. They claim they can detect your pregnancy as early as 6-8 days after conception. I took several of these tests starting at 6 days and as late as 16 days after what should be the conception date based on my cycle - all negative. My husband and I decided to read the reviews we found on several sites for this product and the high number of low ratings prompted us to go buy another test from the drug store - first attempt I got the positive I was expecting based on things I knew were different with my body. I then took 3 more of these tests and they have all shown positive, but it was not until 17+ days of conception that they reflected the positive. I would not have wasted them as early as 6 days had I known that trait was falsely advertised. Additionally, 2 of the positives took more than 30 minutes to show the positive!

These tests are NOT - I repeat, NOT anywhere near as sensitive as they claim. The other drug store brands such as EPT, First Response and ClearBlue are much more sensitive and reliable. I got a positive on all the above mentioned and this "super sensitive" "early pregnancy test" did not show a positive until days later. Even then, the test line was faint and not as dark as the control line. Finally NOW - I am over eight weeks pregnant and decided I already own these ridiculous things, might as well use them - now I get a bright purple test line. Don't buy them, they arrive quickly, but they don't show results early....they should be called "later than all the rest pregnancy tests."

I used these tests as directed. I was quite excited to get a faint line for the first time after months of ttc. I was quite disappointed when that line couldn't be duplicated on any store brand test. The lines kept coming, even some darker than others but af showed on time. I then tried the test about a week into my next cycle and got the same faint line. These tests are duds and heart breaking. I am very sorry I wasted my money on them.

Dealing with infertility, I needed to save $ where I could & these test sticks helped me do just that. I was blessed in being able to get pregnant on my first cycle of fertility treatment & my test detected it right away on day 28 of my cycle! It was clear, easy to do just like a drugstore test, & cost much, much, much less money! I have recommended them to my fertility challenged friends as we all tend to go through ovulation sticks & pregnancy test sticks like water & these will save so much money for everyone!

I had a second line (faint, but dark enough to be photographed) on these tests, visible at 3 minutes and developed at 5, on 95% of the 15 I ordered. The "read by" 5 minutes and discard after 5 minute instructions are also ludicris since the dye is nowhere done clearing the window until approximately 8-10 minutes. These instructions must be a CYA for this shop since the false positives and evaps are so bad.

I was so desperate for a positive that I spent over $100 on major brand tests (CBE, EPT, First Response, AccuClear, Equate) trying to confirm the lines I was getting on the early-pregnancy-test midstream. I never got a second line or positive result on any other test, with the same urine sample.

Which brings me to another point -- don't even bother trying to use these as midstreams. You'll ruin them, finger over the window or not. The test area is not fully protected. They must be dipped into a cup of collected urine.

Lastly, this company is neglectful by not including instructions with the test. When you are ready to test, the last thing you want to do is have to access the internet to get the instructions. These are considered medical devices and regulated by the FDA; therefore, instructions should be provided. They also do not provide instructions for dipping in a cup on the website. I dipped for 15 seconds, a good average between most major brands.

I will never buy Name Brand again thanks to this company!!! This works the same as any other brand of mid-stream pregnancy tests.

I've used these tests before and never had a problem. I've always gotten accurate results.

I am now 9 months pregnant, and found out by these tests. The first one was a faint positive, but two days later, I got a strong positive.I'm a satisfied customer.
