Sainsburys unreliable pregnancy tests

So, i had 2 false positives last week. after googling seems this is a standard issue with sainsys tests for several years now. I saw a post of one woman wanting to do something about it collectively but I dont think anything was as hat was 2014 and the issue is still ongoing.

Is there anyone else out there experienced a false positive from these tests want to actually make a stand? Either way if you want to be pregnant or not, its a HUGE thing to be given a false result. I am absolutely shocked this has not been sorted.

Anyone? Thanks x

Hey, I had false positives with Sainsbury's tests a couple of years ago. I think something has definitely changed as of recent, I am TTC and when I do want a test and end up in Sainsbury's they are always stocked up while the other more expensive brands are low stock or even sold out. It looks like people are avoiding them and I think one way to make a stand is to not buy them and I think a lot of awareness has been made online.

I do think Sainsbury's need to change their own brand tests to something more reliable or even a pink dye test that people say is more reliable.

Maybe if would be good for this thread to be in the conception topic so more people will see it @mumsnet
