1.0 out of 5 stars
Wait until they improve this technology before trying!, November 20, 2005
This review is from: e.p.t. Pregnancy Test, Certainty, 3-Count Tests (Health and Beauty)
The digital aspect of the test is nice in theory, simple pregant and not pregnant results---they forgot to add "when you are able to get results!" The battery life is extremely short lived and once the batterys gone the test is useless. I went to use this test, inserted my test stick into the digital piece for the first time and there was this error that said "see leaflet" which tells you to wait half an hour than attempt again (trying to hold your pee in for half an hour longer isn't the easiest thing to do I might add). So I waited and got nothing, the screen was blank. I called the manufacturer, as also instructed in the leaflet, who said that the battery had died, rendering the pricey test useless, and it would take up to a week for a replacement (maybe its only me, but when it comes to something such as a potential pregnancy a week is unacceptable). As the errors right in the leaflet and the manufacturer knew exactly what was wrong very quickly i'm assuming its a common issue. Moral of the story: this technology needs major improvements. Until then, stick to the simple batteryless plus-minus tests, not only are they cheaper but they are more reliable.

Great for not having to interpret results!, September 6, 2004
This review is from: e.p.t. Pregnancy Test, Certainty, 3-Count Tests (Health and Beauty)
I bought this test simply because I was in a rush to buy something and get out of the store without being seen. (I hadn't told anyone we were trying) I didn't hold the stick midstream since I was so nervous I was afraid that I would drop it in the toilet, so I used the pee in a cup and dip it in method. The results are unmistakeable and made for an interesting photo which we used to slip into other pictures to tell my husband's parents.
My only complaint is that the digital read out disappears after a certain amount of time....I read that all tests are invalid after 10 minutes, but by the time my husband got home, I only had a blank screen on the stick to show him.
Either way....it was accurate for me!

False Positive, December 21, 2007
This review is from: e.p.t. Pregnancy Test, Certainty, 3-Count Tests (Health and Beauty)
Took this test yesterday morning and was excited to receive a "Pregnant" result after trying to conceive for 3 years. We called our doctor and went in for a blood test to confirm the same day, and the blood test came back negative. Took a Clearblue Easy digital test this morning and got a "Not Pregnant" result. Very disappointing to get our hopes up and then find out it was a false result. EPT did refund our money spent on the test when we called the 800 number on the box. I thought EPT was supposed to be the best, but I won't be purchasing it again.
