 Topic: Cheapest Pregnancy tests??
Posted: 18 January 2008 at 9:50pm |
Not for me 
A friend has been TTC and its taking a bit longer than expected and she said its costing her a fortune in pregnancy tests, so what are the cheapest ones to get? The cheapest we have found are around $13 for 3 at the supermarket, is there any better than this?

I was thinking the same thing as Becks - there must be a way to get them free. That and wait until she's a week late to test - although I def couldn't stick to that advice (a case of do as I say not as I did)

Funny thing here is I spent heaps of $$$ on tests testing before AF was due, and yet the three months that I did get BFPs I didn't test until after AF was already late. Murphys bloody law!

You can go to one of the maternity hospitals or contact a midwife. I try to use free tests where possible!

I get my tests from saveontests.com where you can get 25 tests for about NZ$18 including shipping from the States. The tests claim to be able to pick up an hcg of 20, which means you can use them from 10dpo.
