Pregnancy tests

Discovering a pregnancy is a moment that deserves reliable tools and a clear answer, right from the first use. Our selection of pregnancy tests includes over 37 references, ranging from classic, digital, and high-sensitivity tests, designed to meet various needs: from early confirmation to ease of daily use. Each product in this section is chosen for its detection quality and the clarity of the result.

How to choose the most suitable pregnancy test for you

The first criterion to consider is the sensitivity to hCG, the hormone detected by the test: typical values range from 10 to 25 mIU/mL. A high-sensitivity test (10 mIU/mL) can provide a result a few days before the expected period, while standard tests are indicated from the first day of delay. Also consider the format: strip tests are economical and practical for those who perform multiple detections over time, while digital tests display the answer in letters or words, eliminating any ambiguity in reading the lines.

A common mistake is taking the test too early relative to ovulation, resulting in a false negative not due to a product defect but to incorrect timing. Always read the instructions of the individual test regarding the optimal time for use and the management of the urine sample (preferably the first of the morning, which is more concentrated). In case of doubt about the result or unusual symptoms, the advice is always to consult your doctor or gynecologist.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I use a pregnancy test?

Most tests are designed to be used from the first day of a missed period. Some high-sensitivity models allow detection a few days earlier, but accuracy significantly increases by waiting for the expected date of the cycle.

Does a negative result definitely exclude pregnancy?

Not always. If the test is taken too early, hCG levels may not yet be sufficient to be detected. In case of irregular cycles or doubt, it is advisable to repeat the test after a few days or consult a doctor.

Are digital tests more accurate than strip tests?

Accuracy depends on the sensitivity declared by the manufacturer, not the format. However, digital tests offer a more immediate and less subjective reading compared to the lines of traditional tests, reducing the risk of misinterpretation.
