Sensitivity of pregnancy strip?

they're pretty sensitive although I kept testing negative, took a store bought test and all 6 of those were positive. I guess it really all depends. Ovulation though was spot on hope this helps :)

I found it to be sensitive, but waited until I was 2 weeks post ovulation to take a pregnancy test. It was the first test I took and it accurately indicated that I was pregnant. The ovulation tests are awesome too! GL :)

To be honest, I never read that instruction and always tested right after I went to the bathroom. And they always worked. So much so that I am 3.5 months pregnant and it tested positive for me a week after my missed period :)

I haven't used it for more than 5 consecutive days. No issues with sensitivity in that time.

I feel weird actually being able to help with this question but I happen to work as a prenatal chemical analyst as well as buying these indicators. This product has been successfully used as a component of laboratory testing, to determine whether a given fluid sample is urine or amniotic fluid, via pH (obviously). So basically, I think they'd work on most reasonably clear bodily fluids. I would strongly suggest collecting a fluid sample for testing, rather than employing this product in vivo (don't stick the strip directly into any part of your body). I'm not a doctor, this is advice provided for education/entertainment only, all the above is based solely on my personal experience, etc.

I've used both, and got no response. I'm 8wks pregnant and am FINALLY getting a FAINT positive line. All bloodwork shows my levels are normal, too.

Umm, I never read that and used the test strips with warm urine in a plastic cup. I let it soak for the few seconds and then layed flat for the 5 minutes.The strips worked well for me. I am currently 10 weeks 3 days pregnant after one month of use and only being off the pill for 3 months (on for 15 years straight). Think if you are truly close to your ovulation, warm or room temperature will not matter. Plus why let the urine sit while you wait for it to cool down. Hope this helps and good luck. Used the pregnancy tests the same way.

Yes, use cloth strips, it hardens like hard wax. It is non irritating and it works great!

On of the girls on the TTC forums got a faint line and blood work later that day shows hcg of 4.7! Very sensitive. This is the preferred test of the girls on the TTC forums.

I would take that as a definite positive! Congrats! I use these strips all of the time, and I just found out myself that I was pregnant. I saw virtually phantom lines at first, but a couple days later they were faint. Don't take a home test today that you buy at a store though because it might not show up with your diluted urine. Take a home test (I recommend the clear blue digital) with your first morning urine tomorrow. You should definitely see a pregnant result. Good luck!!

I agree about the sensodyne. I found that if I used the strips after I had been using the Crest 3D whitening toothpaste exclusively, I got sensitivity. So I suggest using a sensodyne type toothpaste for a week or more before using the strips. Then when you are done you can go back to whitening toothpaste. Both the strips and the 3D toothpaste worked great though.

They have a kit you can buy that includes meter, 25 strips and the blood prick. Just look and you will find one for about $10 that's all you need.

All my tests worked great!! I would recommend them to everyone!! Even my friend liked them. Since they are just the strips, it's very possible for someone to get it wet in the wrong place, not lay it flat, look at the results too soon, not test correctly, etc. If you feel these tests aren't working, then go buy ones at the store. I was just trying to help. Regardless of your profession, everyone can make mistakes and not be aware of it.

I would get a blood test from your doctor or try with a diff type of preg test. Good luck

Sorry for the delay. Yes, as I recall, I noticed that the line would get darker as you near ovulation date. As I was using them for a couple of months, I would keep track on my calendar and would also gauge when I would ovulate and sure enough, the strips were correct. I got pregnant on my 5th attempt (month) of trying. I haven't used the strips in a while..but will start using them again soon. I hope you are blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby!

Oh wow! No I haven't had any issues and I have sensitive skin. I would contact Gain customer service and tell them about it. Maybe they'll give you a refund or something.

From what I understand, these tests are NOT very accurate and I wouldn't get them again. But, the same thing happened to me last month when I had a chemical pregnancy. I would try a different test in another day.
