Most women pay for a home pregnancy test several times more than they should, because they are afraid to buy cheap tests. There is general agreement that cheap pregnancy tests are not as accurate as their expensive counterparts, but it is not much expensive.
Dr. Michael Slow, a reproductive endocrinologist at the center Coastal Fertility Specialists Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, confirms that all pregnancy tests used the same technology, regardless of cost. All tests are designed to detect a certain hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which produces only a woman's body during pregnancy. When used properly, the result will be the same in all tests. This product is determined solely by marketers.
Slow but notes that if the package indicates "accuracytest 99%", regardless of the brand, the consumer should be aware that this accuracy is only achieved in the laboratory. When using the test at home everyday people determine the accuracy of pregnancy is 75-80%.
Correct determination also depends on how it is used. If you follow all the instructions before use and check the expiration date of the test, the cost does not really matter. But keep in mind that the only test that gives a 100% accuracy of the result a blood test.
