    Hi all, i'm a midwife and just stumbled across your thread. The cheapest way is to hand a urine sample into your local chemist. Its costs a couple of pounds (obviously the pound shop isn't a bad option!), but they do the same test we do in hospital, and you'll know in a couple of minutes. I found out i was pregnant with my son this way, and i'm still on good terms with the girl who told me my wonderful news!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to all!

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm trying to get pregnant and have been off the pill since January. Every month I get my hopes up and suspect I might be pregnant and do a test and it's costing me about £4-5 a pop. Does anyone know anywhere that does them a bit cheaper than boots, asda etc...

  • Hello

    Think you should try the TTC board - you'll get plenty of support there - I would recommend www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk for cheap ovulation and pregnancy tests - you can buy in bulk so much more cost efficient.

    Good luck x

    Boots do a cheap one at £3.99 but I know that Lloyds I think do one for £2.99.

    You can get them in poundland though :)

    Your best to do the test first thing in the morning. This is when the 'pregnancy' (can't remember the letters) hormone is at its strongest
