Inexpensive Pregnancy Tests
If, like me, you have practically made a HOBBY of thinking you’re pregnant, you’ll be glad to know you can buy pregnancy tests in bulk, and cheaply. Furthermore, they’ll be mailed to you in discreet plain brown packaging, so that the mail carrier will think you are buying a sex toy nothing of interest.
You can buy the regular kind of pregnancy test, but you can also buy the plain little strips without the casing (you dip them into a cup instead of aiming, if you follow me), which cost even less. The shipping is low, too: $1.99 for first-class, or free if you spend more than $14.95. They’re mailed out the same day you place your order.
(Are you more in the market for ovulation predictors, home sperm tests (you think I’m kidding?), fertility books, basal thermometers, breast pumps, TTC merchandise, Preggie Pops, fetal heartbeat monitors, basically ANYTHING that has to do with conception or pregnancy except the actual baby itself? They’ve got that stuff, too.)
I was impressed with the site (easy to use! lots of choices!), and with the tests (they’re the highest sensitivity available), and with the shipping (mine arrived 3 mailing days after I ordered), but I was won over completely by the cheapness and the “not having to go to the store with five children and see the clerk’s expression when I buy a pregnancy test.” —Swistle

“Not having to go to the store with five children …”
Are we to assume this is all happening RECENTLY? Post-Henry? Is it currently possible, even remotely, that you could have MORE CHILDREN?

Thanks Swistle, this is awesome. For the price of a 2 pack, I’m getting 7. Sweet.

It is indeed embarassing and reveals too much to buy a pregnancy test, ovulation predictor kit, or anything of this ilk when you live in a small town! Will be glad to avoid driving two towns over to get this stuff…

Ohh I like this! We recently tsk tsk’d the outrageous price of pregnancy tests at Costco, so this looks like a fantastic alternative. I always always always think I’m pregnant too. If I hadn’t chickened out on my IUD appointment then maybe things would be different. But no. So, always pregnant in my mind!

I totally just ordered 20 of these babies. (HAh)
I feel good about this. The only problem is, is if we DO get pregnant again with no. 3 baby then how’my gonna keep a test strip?
Am I the only weird one who has kept all their positive pregnancy tests?
uh?

So after reading this review I ordered 5 pregnancy tests and 10 ovulation sticks (it was a combo pack) for like $14.00 shipped to Canada. We had been trying to get pregnant for MONTHS with no luck, and seriously sex every second day SHOULD be enough.
Needless to say after peeing on a stick and rushing home from work a couple weeks after this post (end of Feb) I am now 11 weeks pregnant. All for a 50cent pee stick.
Woot Woot.
