Would you like to try a new pregnancy test kit for free?

135 replies

AnnMumsnet · 07/08/2008 14:18

Clearblue has developed a new pregnancy test kit and is looking for 1000 Mumsnetters to try it out. You need to be actively trying to conceive at the moment. If you?d like to try the new pregnancy test kit click here.

If you know other folks who are also trying to conceive feel free to pass this information on to them - we need to find 1000 of you as soon as possible.

Once you've used the test we'll be asking you to fill in a short on line feedback survey (as this product is due to hit the shops in October /November we?d ideally like some feedback before then). Everyone who offers their feedback will be entered into a draw to win £250 of vouchers for White Company, Boden or SpaceNK. Fingers crossed for you all.

Thanks

Tye, can you email '[email protected]' for the attention of me (Ann) and tell me what happened and I'll sort that for you.

When you've completed the survey correctly it does go to the MN home page so for those who've done that that means it worked!

for those who've just received tests we'll be emailing you the survey link this week

Thanks for your enthusiasm!

Recieved mine this weekend; fingers crossed I need an opportnity to test it out soon.

roquefortlover · 31/08/2008 19:14

got mine too, sadly arrived on CD1!! Hope I get to use it next month...

AbstractMouse · 31/08/2008 21:01

I used mine and got a Bfp 1-2 weeks (should have been 3+), had a m/c about a week later so I think they must be quite accurate.

The cynic in me says they are just trying to make women buy more pg tests tbh, imagine using one and it says 1-2 weeks. Most people will buy
at least 2 more to see the 1-2 and 3+ symbols appear, and at £10 a pop eek.

I used mine (BFN) and completed the survey and it gave me a blank page - should I try again? I was using firefox not IE if that makes a difference?

Sorry this is a repeat of a message Ive put in pregnany topic but just seen this thread so thought someone here might have thought on this.

............................
Im writing for my sister. She has been ttc for 3 years and been having IUI. Shes had one MMC and one chemical pregnancy and had a BFP last week. (5 weeks + 0)

She is absolutely terrified and so upset because of previous problems. She has a scan booked on 15th Sep (so 2 weeks today).

One thing that has worried her is that shes been doing lots of the clearblue digital tests. But last wed she bought one of the new ones by mistake which also shows the time since conception. On thursday this showed 3+ weeks (which actually would have been slightly too far ahead for her dates) but then the next day it showed 2-3 weeks so she is terrified her levels were dropping. She now doesnt want to do anymore tests because they are upsetting her too much and her dr doesnt do blood tests so she is just trying to calm down until the scan.

Has anyone else done these new tests and were they accurate or not?

Thanks everyone.

All it will mean is that at the time she took the second test, her urine was likely more dilute, so less HCg per ml of urine.

kizzie · 01/09/2008 19:21

thanks for replying lou. she did the test at exactly the same time early each morning. But i keep telling myself that she maybe had more to drink one night before than the other. Just keeping fingers crossed and want all to be ok for her x

Overtiredmum · 01/09/2008 21:27

OK so I sent off for my free sample of the new Clearblue test. DH and I decided to start trying for LO No. 2 as DS is now 3. So anyway, that time of month arrived and left, nothing. So my DH said why not try that new test you've got, just to check. Low and behold I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!! Its still very very early days, but we are thrilled, although I am feeling extremely crap in myself, but just wanted to share with you all......... wahhhhhhh heyyyyyyyy!!

Sorry for my ramblings and apologies if I am being insensitive at all........ but

Overtiredmum · 01/09/2008 21:28

Sorry meant to say we were going to start trying at Chrimbo!!! Damn pregnancy hormones grrrrrrrrrr

deanychip · 02/09/2008 10:18

Hi, I have just re applied for the test as mine didnt work. (Nothing on the screen).
Have to say that apart from that, its a lovely little test, chunky and easy to erm...position .

Not due af till weekend but instructions say you can test up to 5 days before you are due...so held my breath and.....blank..

Please could i have another to try?

MNHQ
AnnMumsnet · 02/09/2008 14:36

deanychip please email contactus @mumsnet.com attention Ann and I'll look into this for you - do you mean the test itself has not worked 2 x?

No, test didnt work, (blank screen) so i wondered if i could have another to try.
I am not regular and my af is due anytime from Saturday to next Tues so i took the test today.
Blank screen, not even the little timer thingy as shown on the insert.
Dont know if i did something wrong, i followed the instructions.

Not to worry, i think that it is good because it is so chunky and easy to use.
Not overly impressed by the conception prediction side of it.

MrsMills · 02/09/2008 15:06

Is this trial available for overseas mumsnetters?

WobblyPig · 02/09/2008 17:46

Fantastic HPT. Would really recommend esp. for early testing.

SesHasapinkline · 03/09/2008 06:42

Just used it. I already had a BFP at the weekend and was going to keep it for a couple of weeks to check pg still viable as I have a history of mc. Fortunately friends on MN persauded me not to do this as any confusion would only lead to panic. I'm worried how much panic this test could cause as for 8 in 100 users it doesn't give an accurate result and you may get mad people like me wanting to use it to test for viability.

In any case, it told me I am 4-5 weeks pg which sounds about right for me

neolara · 03/09/2008 08:59

I tried mine out today and also got a blank screen (i.e. it did not work). Do you think it is worth contacting Clearblue directly to try to get hold of another one?

MNHQ
AnnMumsnet · 03/09/2008 10:24

Could anyone whose test has not worked please email [email protected] attention Ann - I don;t know who you are from your MN name I need your email to get you another one!!!
