It's been almost 30 years since the first home pregnancy test came on the market and it was soon followed by many more. Today, the consumer can choose from several different brands and kinds of kits. This home pregnancy test comparison will cover some of the basics.

Price

You can just about pick your price when it comes to purchasing a home pregnancy test. Most of the brands we recognize range in price from about 9.99 to 16.99. Several of the major brands have single and double test kits in them which is great on the price savings. Clear Choice sells for 9.99 and promises positive results in as little as 1 minute and negative results in 5 minutes. This home pregnancy test is a one step method using a cup to collect the urine and then displaying the results on the label of the cup.

Time

Home pregnancy test comparison studies have to take several things into account. One of those is how quickly after you suspect you might be pregnant will a home pregnancy test show results? That all depends on the sensitivity level of the home pregnancy test meaning how sensitive it is as far as picking up the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG.

First Response, in a home pregnancy test comparison study, showed to be the home pregnancy test with the most sensitivity to hCG which translates into being able to tell if you are pregnant sooner than most home pregnancy tests. First Response will indicate a positive result when just 12.5 mIU of hCG are present in a woman's urine. This one sells for 17.99 but it has a 2 stick test included so you can repeat the test again in a few days if desired.

Ease of Use

Most of the home pregnancy tests are easy to use with the choice of a test strip or a cup or both. Some of the kits are easier to read than others and this is where women choose their favorites. In a home pregnancy test comparison study, it was noted that some of the kits are switching from lines to words using the words PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT instead of the woman having to rely on whether or not she can see a line. This kind of kit can be confusing if the line isn't dark enough.

Regardless of which home pregnancy test you elect to use, follow all of the directions and if you think you may be pregnant see your doctor as soon as possible.
