About this test

This is a single-marker test that checks a urine sample for the hormone associated with pregnancy. It is intended for anyone who wants a private result, whether the pregnancy is planned or not, and the provider recommends testing after a missed period or around three weeks after unprotected sex.

Because it only measures one marker, this test does not have the same clinical depth as larger fertility panels, and it lands in the lower quarter of the fertility tests we track by that measure. Better2Know does not report a comparison group of directly equivalent products for this test, so we cannot say how it stacks up against named alternatives, but its £160 price sits well above the £71.63 median we see for similarly sized fertility tests.

The test scores well for clarity and documentation, since the listing sets out the sample type, collection options and turnaround clearly, and for Collection Convenience, because you can do it at home or at a clinic with a quick result. It loses marks on value for money for being priced well above typical fertility tests of this size, and on Results and Follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a quick, private pregnancy result without booking a GP appointment first, and you are happy to test at home or add a clinic visit for £199. It works whether you are hoping for a positive result or need reassurance either way.

Better2Know does not list a comparison group for this test, so we cannot point to a specific cheaper or deeper alternative from the data we hold. If you would value a doctor looking at your result as standard, bear in mind that this one does not include that by default, though Better2Know can arrange a private consultation afterwards.

How it works

You provide a urine sample, either at home for postage to the lab or during a clinic visit for £199. Once the sample reaches the laboratory, results are typically ready within one working day, and Better2Know's Patient Services team lets you know when they are available in your online patient area. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though Better2Know can arrange a private consultation if you want to discuss what a positive or negative result means for you.
