Lloyd's Pharmacy changed their pregnancy test?

Hi, I've used Lloyd's Pharmacy pregnancy tests beginning of last year. No problem. Easy to use.

I bought one the other day and having trouble... They've changed the part you pee on from just the sponge / absorbent thing to a plastic thing with gaps. Idk if it's the gaps or what but I can't get the control line to appear?!

I'm not peeing any differently to when I used the "old one" which was just the sponge, not the plastic thing with gaps. That old one just worked no problem, but I can't get this one to.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I feel so stupid lol 🥴

Missing the handy man here. I dunno....lols. good luck mate

I say "bought one" but there's two in the box and I've essentially wasted both. I don't have the money atm to just buy more and try agen and fail getting control line, or to buy the more expensive ones...

Two In the box. Ur Def be sweet then

Thanks, I just feel so stupid. I don't know what I'm doing wrong since I'm doing exactly the same as I did with the other ones (I only used one of the "old" style ones a couple months back and worked easy peasy). The instruction doesn't state any difference in how to use, as far as I can see.

I commented I already used both and had the same problem twice. I feel like an idiot. I am peeing the same and the instructions don't say anything different as far as I can tell

@Hijustonequestion you could try peeing in a clean plastic cup and dipping

MsChatterbox · 13/03/2022 09:04

Collect urine sample in a cup and dip it

Hijustonequestion · 13/03/2022 09:14
