We review the best pregnancy test for clear, trustworthy results | Mumsnet (2024)

Whether you're trying to conceive or not, if you think you might be pregnant the last thing you need to worry about is whether or not you can trust your pregnancy test results. With so many pregnancy tests currently available, finding one you can trust can feel pretty daunting.

We've consulted maternity health experts as well as Mumsnet users - the largest online network of parents in the UK - to help narrow down a shortlist of the best pregnancy tests, from those you can use up to six days before a missed period to others which give you your answer in just 45 seconds.

I then put a selection of the top six most popular pregnancy tests through a thorough testing procedure, carefully assessing each one for a number of important variables including reliability, speed, accuracy, durability and value for money.

I wanted to find out which tests explained the process most clearly, how easy it was to take the test, how much reassurance you get that you're doing it correctly and how much packaging would go to landfill when the test was complete. With all this in mind, I then compiled the following shortlist of the best pregnancy tests UK.

The best pregnancy test shortlist: tried and tested

What is a pregnancy test and how does it work?

There are two main types of urine pregnancy tests - those which work by being held midstream as you wee and others which are designed to be dipped into a collected sample for a specific amount of time. On top of that, there are a huge number of pregnancy tests available which offer a variety of features, from budget-friendly test strips you can use to track a line's progression, to user-friendly digital tests which simple state 'Pregnant' or 'Not Pregnant'.

As with our guides to the best pregnancy pillow and the most effective stretch mark cream, we've consulted our Mumsnet users as well as medical experts in obstetrics to help narrow down the best pregnancy test to give you fast, reliable results. In this case, we consulted experienced midwife Marie Louise, a.k.a. The Modern Midwife, on what makes the best pregnancy test, when the best time is to take a pregnancy test, and what to do if you get a positive result.

How we tested the best pregnancy tests

Mumsnetters love nothing more than supporting others who are TTC (trying to conceive), so our forums are jam-packed full of real-life experiences from mums and mums-to-be, many of whom have been sharing photos of their tests and asking for reassurance from the Mumsnet community.

First, we gathered Mumsnet users’ feedback on the best pregnancy test brands and the products that they personally have used and would recommend to friends and family. We vetted their experiences to learn more about the tests they found easy to use, easy to interpret and, most importantly, believed to be a reliable and accurate measure of pregnancy. We then took this shortlist and, ensuring that every test on it was well-regarded by NHS medical professionals, selected our top six best pregnancy tests, which I then put through a strict testing and review process.

From budget bulk buys to the premium tests on the market, I wanted to find out which tests explained the process most clearly, how easy it was to take the test, how much reassurance you get that you're doing it correctly and how much packaging would go to landfill when the test was complete.

I also timed how long it took to get a result and how easy (or not) the result was to read. But, at the time of testing I was in my second trimester of pregnancy, which probably impacted how quickly the test returned a result.

Ultimately I wanted to find out if there really was a benefit to shelling out £15 for a pregnancy test, when you could spend just 20p.

Scoring almost full marks across the board, the Clear & Simple Pregnancy Test is a budget-friendly, reliable test which makes the whole process of taking a pregnancy test as clear and simple as it brand name suggests. And at just over £1 per test, it's budget-friendly too.

The Clear & Simple test may come at a low cost, but it still offers 99% accuracy and has an easy-to-read double line when detecting pregnancy, making it a great choice if you're looking for budget-friendly test options.

You may have to wait a little longer for the results, however, as this test says it takes up to five minutes to show a definite result - though it's worth noting that my result showed up in just three seconds, the fastest of all the tests I tried.

Reviewed by Mumsnet editor Tina Williams: Read our Clearblue Digital Ultra Early Pregnancy test review

If you’re keen to test early, but don’t want to leave yourself squinting into the sunlight or editing photos of your pregnancy tests to see if that line is solely in your imagination, the Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy test can make the testing experience a whole lot simpler. Unlike dye-based tests that require looking out for a line or cross in the results window, these tests use digital technology instead.

With over 99% accuracy when taken on the day your period is due, this test offers an unmistakable result in between one to five minutes, simply displaying written words ‘Pregnant’ or ‘Not Pregnant’ - so no second-guessing a barely-there line. There is even a reassuring countdown to guide you through the wait time from start to finish. Best of all, Clearblue tests are readily available in most larger supermarkets and chemists so you can pick them up at the same time as stocking up on the best prenatal vitamins.

The Clearblue Digital Early Detection test can be used dipped in urine or under a urine stream and comes with an extra-wide tip (which, to put it bluntly, can help avoid any mess if you have a questionable aim!)

However, some users have reported that the tests show book errors, something you may want to bear in mind, but helpfully there are two in the pack in case the first one doesn't work.

A lot of Mumsnetters swear by Clearblue to track ovulation as well, which is why the brand also features heavily on ourbest ovulation test guide.

We review the best pregnancy test for clear, trustworthy results | Mumsnet (7)

Some tests will accurately detect a pregnancy as early as 10 days post conception. If you’ve had unprotected sex and think you may be pregnant you should take a test 14 days after and again at 21 days if you had a negative result but feel you may be pregnant.

Mumsnet tester Tina · Recommended I was skeptical about these strip tests from a brand I’d never come across before. There’s no colourful packaging or badge that says it’s approved by doctors, and yet, after trying out so many different brands, I’d say they’re probably one of the best options available. See Post

Our verdict

A great money-saving option and handy for those who may want to do repeat or regular tests, this One Step bulk buy pack offers 50 no-frills pregnancy strips for an incredible price, working out at just 11p a test! Known as one of the more popular 'internet cheapie' pregnancy test options on the Mumsnet boards, many Mumsnet users recommend buying these, particularly if you like the reassurance of testing multiple times.

The manufacturer claims that this test has mIU sensitivity of 10mIU and can pick up early results, but some independent reviewers have reported inaccuracies with the tests, so you may want to confirmyour results with a more expensive test.

As the strips aren’t encased by plastic, it’s less messy and more hygienic to dip them into a sample of urine rather than attempt to wee on the stick itself. The lack of plastic also makes the One Step Pregnancy Strip a brilliant eco-friendly and more sustainable pregnancy test choice.

With results showing within a minute, they’re a great option for impatient types too.

Boots is a brand which has been trusted by Mumsnetters for years for everything from TENS machines to haemorrhoid cream, so it's only right to include their pregnancy strips, which may not be as cheap as the One Step strips, but certainly offer plenty of assurance from brand name alone.

These strips work by dipping in a urine sample and so require a little extra planning when using, but with easy to read results and over 99% accuracy when taken the day after your period is due, there's a lot to like. Although my results weren't quite as clear as they were from the One Step, I felt reassured by knowing and trusting Boots as a brand.

2020mission · Recommended I’d recommend the First Response Early Result (often just referred to as a FRER). It’s quite sensitive and so you can usually get a faint line a few days before your missed period. See Post

Our verdict

Reviewed by Mumsnet editor Tina: Read our in-depth First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test review

Fast, simple and reliable, the First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test (or 'FRER' as it's more commonly known on Mumsnet) is one brand of pregnancy test which has been highly recommended by Mumsnet users for years for providing the most accurate results.

This test has been found to be the most sensitive pregnancy test on the market – with the ability to identify all four forms of hCG in your urine. It promises a 99% accurate reading if you test on the day of your expected period, but if patience isn’t your strong point, you can even use one of these stick tests up to six days before your period is due, making it the best early result pregnancy test we’ve found.

The First Response Early Result test can be used in one of two ways – either by placing the absorbent tip in your urine stream while weeing or by immersing into a urine sample for five seconds, allowing you to choose the method that feels most comfortable for you.

Results become clear just three minutes after use, providing peace of mind, and with an easy-to-read pink dye, there should be no confusion with this early pregnancy test – if there’s a second pink line in the result window, you’re positive.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Mumsnet editor Tina Williams: Read our in-depth Clearblue Pregnancy Test with Weeks Indicator review

If the thought of working out your results from a line or cross isn’t clear enough for you, the Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test With Weeks might offer the solution.

It’s the only pregnancy test currently on the market to not only spell out ‘Pregnant’ or ‘Not Pregnant’ in the large window, but to also tell you how many weeks pregnant you are (one to two weeks, two to three weeks or three plus weeks), which can be extra helpful if your periods are irregular or inconsistent.

You can test up to four days before your period is due, but it’s worth knowing that it only offers 65% accuracy at that point, so it’s best to wait until the day your period is due when it’s 99% accurate. The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test With Weeks is one of the more expensive tests on our list but, given the extra feature it offers, we can understand why.

When is the best time to take a pregnancy test?

Pregnancy tests work by measuring the amount of pregnancy hormone hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadoropin) in your urine - so it's important you wait until enough hCG has built up to show on a test. Usually this is around the time your period would be due, but there are some pregnancy tests which claim to be able to detect hCG up to a week before this.

'The best time to take a pregnancy test really depends on your cycle and of course when you conceived,' experienced midwife Marie Louise, author of The Modern Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond tells Mumsnet. 'Not everyone has regular periods so going by your menstrual cycle may not be possible. HCG is the hormone detected in home pregnancy tests, it rises as pregnancy progresses.'

How do home pregnancy tests work?

Pregnancy tests detect the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG), in your urine. This hormone starts to be produced around six days after fertilisation.

During the first trimester, the pregnancy hormone increases from less than 5mIU/ml to over 100,000mIU/ml, and the further into your pregnancy you are, the more present this hormone will be in your urine.

How accurate are home pregnancy tests?

According to midwife Marie Louise, 'Very accurate when taken at the best time. Always do ensure you read the test instructions and result properly. I’ve looked after a few mums who have misread results or taken a test too early, got a false negative and not repeated the test.'

Are cheap pregnancy tests accurate?

Known as 'internet cheapies' by regular posters on the Mumsnet Conception boards, cheaper pregnancy tests have the benefit of coming in larger, bulk-buy packs - such as the One Step Ultra Early Test Strips featured in this guide - which is a great option if you want the reassurance of testing over several days (or multiple times a day in some cases!) They aren't always as accurate when it comes to early detection, so if you're testing before your period is due, you might be better off with a First Response Early Result.

Are expensive pregnancy tests better?

'If a pregnancy test is sold by a reputable, registered company it doesn’t matter if you opt for the cheaper option or buy in bulk,' explains Marie Louise. 'This maybe a good idea if you are trying or know you have potential difficulty conceiving. Pregnancy tests can be expensive!'

What should I do after testing positive?

'First and foremost give yourself a minute,' says Marie Louise. 'This may seem obvious but regardless of whether this is a planned pregnancy or not, you need to take a breath and process your news. It’s okay to feel a very wide range of emotions and flitter between them.

'Depending on your plans for your pregnancy you will need to take different routes. If a positive test is good news you need to book an appointment with a midwife between 8-10 weeks going by your LMP (last menstrual period). If you’re not sure you can simply self refer to your local midwifery services or call your GP for further information.

'If you are not sure whether you would like to continue with the pregnancy you can explore your options with your GP or NHS online and if you know you will be terminating the pregnancy you can self refer to The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, Marie Stopes U.K. or a local GUM clinic.'

How should you take a pregnancy test?

Generally speaking, as the levels of the pregnancy hCG hormone rise every two or three days during pregnancy, a pregnancy test will be more accurate the later you leave it after having unprotected sex.

The most sensitive pregnancy tests can detect 10mIU/ml and some of these can be used before your period is due. However, the NHS generally advises that you take a pregnancy test from the first day of a missed period.

If you’re not sure when your next period is due, aim to test at least 21 days after you last had unprotected sex.

What other kinds of pregnancy tests are there?

Home pregnancy tests work by detecting the hCG hormone in your urine, however, in some circumstances, such as when you are having fertility treatment or have medical conditions, you may be asked to head for a blood test with your doctor.

In most cases, the home pregnancy tests will be very similar to the urine-based pregnancy tests used at your local doctors, hospitals and family planning clinics.

What to look for in a pregnancy test

  • Ease of use - Most pregnancy tests involve measuring the level of hormone present in your urine, but some are easier to use than others. Most home pregnancy tests tend to have a plastic casing around them, but you can also buy cheaper pregnancy strips, such as One Step, which have no casing but can be just as effective at detecting hCG. When testing, you would need to dip an uncased pregnancy strip into a pot of urine rather than attempt to wee on it.

  • How early can you use it? - The most sensitive pregnancy tests such as First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test can detect 10mIU/ml and some of these can be used before your period is due. It's worth noting, however, that the NHS recommends taking a pregnancy test from the first day of a missed period or at least 21 days after having unprotected sex.

  • Digital or line results? - Most home pregnancy tests will display a second line (either a cross or a line in the test area) if hCG is detected. Some more expensive pregnancy tests have a digital display to indicate whether you are pregnant or not. The Clearblue Pregnancy Test With Weeks Indicator even estimates how many weeks along you are.

  • Interpreting results - How easy is it to interpret your results? Some Mumsnetters have found themselves doubting the visibility of lines on dye-based pregnancy tests, with pink dye often being easier to view than blue. If you’re after a simple yes or no, then the digital tests may be the safest option. It’s also important you follow the instructions with dye-based tests, as reading them outside of the measurement window can lead to evaporation lines.

  • Number of tests - If you’re after some reassurance, you may want to consider buying a pack of more than one test. If you want to test regularly, a test you can buy in bulk at a relatively low cost, such as One Step Pregnancy Strips, might work for you. Other tests tend to come in packs of two or three too.

What is the most accurate pregnancy test to take?

Many Mumsnetters swear by theFirst Response Early Result Pregnancy Test as the most accurate pregnancy test. While out of stock at the moment, the First Response Triple Check tests are well-regarded for accurate results you can trust up to three times.

This test has been found to be the most sensitive pregnancy test on the market – with the ability to identify all four forms of hCG in your urine. It promises a 99% accurate reading if you test on the day of your expected period, but if patience isn’t your strong point, you can even use it up to six days before your period is due, making it the best early result pregnancy test we’ve found. We also liked that it came in a pack of two for extra reassurance or for using at a later date.

Which week in my cycle should I take a pregnancy test?

It is recommended you take a pregnancy test on the first day after your period would have been due. If you have irregular periods, you may prefer to instead test around three weeks after you had unprotected sex.

Many women refer to the ‘two-week wait’ - the period between ovulation and (ideally) a missed period, after which the hormone is likely to be present if you are expecting.

Is a blue or pink dye pregnancy test better?

All home pregnancy tests work the same way - by measuring the hCG levels in your urine- but when it comes to dye-based tests, which are the ones which give line results, there is some debate as to whether pink dye based tests or blue dye tests are better. Whilst this is a frequent topic of discussion on the Mumsnet Conception boards, the general consensus is usually that pink dye tests - such as First Response Early Result tests - are more trustworthy than blue dye tests, which can be more likely to show evaporation lines and even false positives.

What are the best pregnancy tests UK?

For early and reliable pregnancy detection, the First Response Triple Check tests offer three-in-one ways to check for pregnancy: an early result test you can take up to six days before your period is due, a digital yes/no result test and a rapid result test which delivers results in less than one minute.

Can I get a pregnancy test on the NHS?

In most cases, you can pick up pregnancy tests online, from pharmacies or supermarkets at a relatively low cost, and this is a discreet and private way to test at home.

If you prefer, however, you can also ask for a pregnancy test free of charge with your GP or at your local sexual health clinic. If you are under the age of 25, you may also get a pregnancy test from your local Brook centre.

How we chose our recommendations

Products tried and tested by real parents

Mumsnetters love nothing more than supporting others who are TTC (trying to conceive), so our forums are jam-packed full of real-life experiences from mums and mums-to-be, many of whom have been sharing photos of their tests and asking for reassurance from the Mumsnet community.

First, we gathered Mumsnet users’ feedback on the best pregnancy test brands and the products that they personally have used and would recommend to friends and family. We vetted their experiences to learn more about the tests they found easy to use, easy to interpret and, most importantly, believed to be a reliable and accurate measure of pregnancy.

Expert guidance

We know just how important it is to be able to trust the brands you are using for such a key moment in your life. For that reason, we thoroughly researched and vetted the brands and pregnancy tests included in this round up to ensure they were well-regarded by medical professionals, with many of these tests being recommended and rated by doctors and family planning clinics. In most cases, medics agree that whilst they may vary in sensitivity levels, home pregnancy tests are generally an accurate way to detect pregnancy, so long as they are used correctly.

We also consulted maternity medical expert Marie Louise, an experienced midwife and hypnobirthing specialist, to review the facts about pregnancy tests and how to choose the right one for you, as well as when to take it and what to do next.

Honest consumer reviews

Finally, we trawled through a significant number of authentic online reviews on retailer sites such as Boots, Superdrug and Amazon to research wider consumer experiences of pregnancy tests on our shortlist, looking out for any consistent frustrations, weaknesses or factors you might want to consider when selecting which pregnancy test to buy.

We put six of the most popular pregnancy tests through their paces with an in-depth, rigourous testing procedure. Our tester Tina wanted to find out which tests explained the process most clearly, how easy it was to take the test, how much reassurance you get that you're doing it correctly and how much packaging would go to landfill when the test was complete. She assessed each test carefully for speed, reliability, durability, accuracy and value for money, combining these scores for an overall rating.

It’s worth remembering, that whilst all home pregnancy tests vary in terms of sensitivity and method of use, they are generally accurate so long as they are used correctly. You may also find some reviewers stating they have experienced false positives or negatives. This could be due to a variety of reasons, but it's important to read the instructions before you take the test to ensure you're using it properly and at the right time.
