Is there such a thing as a reuseable pregnancy testing kit and if so where can I get one in the UK?

Answer 1

As far as I know there isn't one available but if it's the cost of tests that worries you I know that you can but them in Home and Bargain shops (mostly up north) for less that £1 each, maybe wilko's will have them too. They are American style dip stick ones but just as effective as those you spend £10 on. They have been right every time I have used them. Good luck!

Answer 2

Can I reuse a test? No.

go to http://www.peeonastick.com

Pretty please? No! It just plain won't work. (You could try, but the results would not be reliable.) Note: until recently I advocated cutting a test strip in half lengthwise to make one test into 2. I am retracting this suggestion because of several reports of false positives using this method.

The reason you can't reuse a test is because the dye/reagent combo is completely used up the first time. If you look at the pink dye near the wick, you will see that it passes across the stick when it's used. If you use the test a second time, there are simply no chemical reagents or dye left in the test. Even if you add dye with a marker or pen, there is no reagent left to bind with hCG (if it's present.)

To prove it, I took some pure hCG (thanks SO much to my friend, who had some left over following some hormonal treatment!) and put 3 drops straight on a pregnancy test (the "control" test.) Then I put 3 drops on a (negative) test I had once used with breastmilk; I also put 3 drops on a (negative) test I had once used with urine. Here are the results ("control" lines are on the right):




You can see that pure hCG, used on a brand new test, resulted in a positive test. The same amount of pure hCG, reused on a breastmilk test and a pee test, resulted in negative tests. There were simply no chemicals or dye left to work.

Answer 3

You can get a reusable ovulation kit from http://www.lunafertility.com/catalog/index.php/language/en
but i had one and it was a real pain. They have good preggo strips and they are a fair price compared to the drug store.

Good luck

Answer 4

Go to this web site: http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/3pregtesstri.html, they are 92 cents us. For each test, so you don't have to reuse them. I've never seen any that are reusable.
