can you test your blood with this (e.g. finger prick)? or is it only urine? i've just gotten a second period 2 weeks after my last, out of nowhere.

Only urine, if you think you have implantation bleeding, then wait at least another week before testing.

As the other poster stated, a large drop of blood does best, it should be hanging and about the size of a pea, let it drop don't try and milk it out of your finger. I've stopped using mine because I can't find the test strips in any local pharmacy anymore, and the hassel of ordering online plus shipping and the strips have an expiration date . I will say, I tested at home the morning before I had schedule Lab work done for Chol. and the tester was 10 points below what the Lab results were.

Picked up my pg at 9 dpo. Way more sensitive than the digital tests. Only thing is you need to wait about 15 minutes to see the faint line

The spongey part is what soaks up the urine. It is only positive if a you see a faint or dark purple line parallel & close to the control line. I wish I could attach photos of my positive tests to show you what a positive test looks like. It sounds like you have a negative test. When you get a positive one you'll know. Continue to test until you see a distinct line or you get your period. I was testing once a day (first urination of the day is always best) for a good 5 days before I saw a line. If you are tired & have tender breasts then definitely keep testing. When in doubt buy a digital test. The spongey part is what soaks up the urine.

I am not sure what the statistics are but I would say they are very sensitive. I was only 2.5 weeks along when I tested and got a positive line before I missed my period (2-3 days before if I remember correct).

It does show urine very well. We got it to find that due to having cats. Good luck and I hope all shows well in your stays.

Hi,I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

Remember - it works entirely on regular, precise measuring of body temperature, and that's all. A LOT of things can change your body temperature slightly so that it doesn't fit into Lady-Comp's expected pattern, which then gives you yellow days. Depending on where you are in your cycle, it might not have just happened - it could've happened days ago. It could easily be something as simple as a slight bug that you didn't know you were fighting (have a few sniffles one day?), having a little more alcohol than usual, a rough sleep, etc. When I used it, I had so many yellow days it made the thing impossible to use. If you've gone 6 months without any yellow days, you're extremely lucky, and must have an amazingly regular and predictable cycle and lifestyle.

im in limbo with this batch also. im 4 days late but all the tests are negative. Im going to buy a Digital test today & see what it says. so frustrating because this isn't something you want to screw up. when you want to know, you want to know.

That is what I purchased it for and have tested myself both ways, saliva and urine. It doesn't come with any instructions I bought this brand because it was recommended from a medical website. I feel my readings are accurate.

You do not just pee on the strip, it comes with a small collection cup. You wouldn't want to pee on the stick, they are only about 2mm wide and 3 inches long, you would just end up peeing all over your hand. Also, there is a "MAX" line you don't want to get any urine past when testing. Good Luck, I hope this helps!

I'm still in the early phase (less than 3 months taking the supplement). I'll know more hopefully within the next month. The real test will be my next doctor's visit in January.

you can use the usual alternate test sites, heel of hand, forearm, etc. I prefer the forearm just above the wrist, no pain, and just as accurate as fingers, after comparing for 2yrs. :) this meter uses a small enough blood sample that the smaller drops you get when pricking the forearm work just fine.

my experience has been a faint, barely detectable line on my test and my wife's line has been a shade darker,each staying consistent between 6-10 weeks of abstaining from use. we did test a strip with synthetic urine obtained online and the negative result line was much darker. even with our bareley detectable results on the strip we passed our tests with no problem. hope this helps.

Make sure you quit smoking at least 3 days before your test. I had quit for a while before all of my tests and passed with flying colors, but stay on the safe side. Follow all directions on the bottle. You will notice your pee being a certain bright yellow when the drink has kicked in. So drink the qcarbo some water and pee a couple times. Best wishes to you. Let me know how it goes.

I have used the monitor for one yr. It may not be accurate comparing to lab test. But, it is good enough for users to get the result right away. Each test may take up to two minutes. You will take some blood from your finger with supplied tool and put blood on the testing strip, which is insert to the monitor. Then, monitor will provide a reading. It is a handy, do-yourself monitor.
