lol they want you to buy the other brands because they’re $20 or more! The $1 pregnancy test work absolutely fine, used them for both my pregnancies and they were right. If it comes out negative it’s either you did it wrong, too early or your just not pregnant. It’s not the devices fault.

This is funny because I got 2 from the dollar store both sead yes I was pragenet and both were right I went to the doc to make sure and here I’m mow 28 weeks lol I was a little worried it was not going to be right but other people I talk to sead it work for them when they did it and it was right too. So I say why pay more if you don’t have too but still go to a docs to make sure. But ya I ask a worker she sead it the same thing they use in a more expense kit but each to it’s own on what ya won’t to do

you see lots of places carrying and selling stuff you find at the dollarstore for 3 to 4 times more expensive. so, it’s your choice. pay $1 or pay $15.

mind you, there are lots of crap at dollarstores as well. but the wise shopper knows what to look for.

my pet peeve is IKEA. they sell utter crap at very high prices. it’s public information that IKEA’s business model is to make crappy furniture that doesn’t last very long so the customer goes back and buys more of their crap.

The strip inside the plastic test is what detects the pregnancy hormone. The strips in the Dollarstore tests is the same as the ones in more expensive tests. The tests just don’t look as nice because of the difference in the plastic/style, but are effective. At a clinic the doctor just uses the bare strip itself.

When I suspected that I was pregnant, I bought two of these tests.
I figured that it was best to do the initial test on these for $1 rather than buy a couple of $15 tests.
I peed on two $1 test sticks and they gave me a positive, so I, then, headed to Wal-Mart where I sprung for the $15 ClearBlue test which, also came back positive.
I delivered my gorgeous daughter on Sunday morning and it all started with e $1 pregnancy test from Dollarama.
So, if you’re looking for a tester because you aren’t sure, this is a good option, but always confirm the pregnancy with your doctor, who’ll be able to do it with a pee test and, more importantly, with a blood test.

Oh yes they work. I tested positive with one 15 days after conception! They’ve been right for anyone I know who has used them.

I dont know what all of the concern is about. I have used the dollarama pregnancy tests and ovulation tests and they work perfectly. I have never so much as had an evap line! For anyone ttc that spends a fortune of hpts they are a must have! You dont waste a ton of money, they are reliable and that way you only have to use the expensive ones (if you choose) when you actually get a positive.

My OBGYN told me to get ovulation and pregnancy tests from the dollar store! He said “Don’t waste your money on the brand name” it is all the same!! They have to be in order to be sold in Canada. Hope this helps.

Both of my freinds and myself have used this test and it has been accurate EVERY time. This was especially benifical when we were planning our pregnancies because it doesnt break the bank, every month waiting for the results until it became positive. People who wanna spend 10x’s to get the same results go right ahead!!!

I have used the Dollar Store tests on multiple occasions, every time they were accurate for both positive and negative results. I would highly reccomend these instead of paying full price for any drugstore brand, they saved me money

Silly silly people. For one you can never have a false positive only a false negative. The pregnancy hormone can’t be detected if it’s not actually present. BUUUTT the hormone might be missed if it is early on in the pregnancy or the hormone is not strong enough. Although it has been said over and over. Who cares if you buy the $1 test or the $18 test. If your test comes out positive on either one your pregnant. If it comes up negative and you feel strongly then use common sense to go to a doctor. Why make such a big deal over the price. If the products at the Dollarama were still not approved I could see all the craziness but apparently they are not legal so lets all get back to our regular lives and when that time comes for you, you can chose the $1 test or the $18.

I was in a parenting class for school and we wanted to see if the tests actually worked I was pregnet at the time with my daughter and my friend was also pregnet so we both took 2 test along with 3 of our other friends that we not pregnet and all the tests were 100% accurate I also bought a test when I thought I may b pregnet again and when I did the test it came out that I was indeed pregnet again I went to the doctors the following week and sure enough I was 3 weeks pregnet with my son so the test do work jus becouse they are only a $1 doesnt mean they dont work thats like saying I buy my shampoo at the dollar store but because its a $1 it doesnt work properly if u dont trust the dollar store test then dont do it no one is tellin u that u have to buy it so u can go pay $20 for the test that u will get the same results from the dollar store test

This test does work. I know it’s from a cheap store but it really does work. It told me twice that I was pregnant and when I went to the doctors and did a urine test, it was positive. Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it does not work.

I might just add, that this is the first test that gave me a positive result on my pregnancy!!! I used some very expensive tests, and the only one to give me the correct (positive) result was the Dollarama one! lol soooo It is not harmful to use it as a screening product, if you’re like me and spent tons of $$$ when you were TTC If you read the details on the package, the product is also surprisingly sensitive! Just be careful: If you decide to buy this, check that there is actually something in the box! I once bought one only to come home and find an empty package! (I am not surprised that this is probably one of the most commmonly stolen items…)
