How does the Clearblue Ultra Early Pregnancy Test compare to others?
This test offers all the reassurance it possibly could that you’re taking the test correctly. And I can definitely see the appeal. However, the test results actually took a lot longer to come through than some of the cheaper options.
It also has a battery that you need to remove before you can dispose of the test. From an environmental point of view, there’s just so much plastic here and ultimately the result is as accurate as other tests on the market, and actually slower to obtain than other tests I tried.
Does the test offer good value for money?
At £8 per test, the one thing that’s clear to me is that this is not a budget friendly option. There was a part of me that really liked the light which showed when enough urine had been collected, but I don’t think it’s really worth the money.
Would you recommend this pregnancy test to others?
For someone who’s nervous about doing a test incorrectly this is probably a really good first test to take, but once you’ve done one pregnancy test, you kind of get the hang of it. If you’re really unhappy about the idea of decoding faint lines, then this is a good option.
