Why I’ve ditched One Step tests

The green one is their ovulation test. Absolutely rubbish. No wonder I was struggling to see a positive last month. Premom read that as a 0.3 and read the Easy@Home as a 0.13. The pink brand we won’t even talk about lol. Also useless.

Also ditched the One Step pregnancy tests as I was barely getting a line on them when I had a 1-2 pop up on a digital for my chemical.

Save your money, ladies! Avoid!

What's wrong though? It doesn't matter you're getting different numbers (I never even used any apps to read them), at the end of the day, they're all negative.

I've always used EAH ones and they work wonders I terms of showing ovulation.

I've had 3 chemicals and was able to work that out early on due to poor progression on EAH tests. With my successful pregnancy and a later miscarriage, the progress was great. I swear by them.

I know they’re all negative. I’ve only just finished my period. I was demonstrating the poor quality of a brand that most likely explained why I never saw a positive test last month or the month before whilst using them, even though I ovulated. They’re rubbish, take ages to dry, and only ever show up faint marks not representative of what’s actually going on. That can lead you to think you haven’t ovulated that month. So I don’t recommend them.

Ah okay.

I'm sorry you had that experience.
Personally, huge fan of EAH as I think them quite good at detecting ovulation.

Wish you all the best with TTC.
