How to use a SELFCHECK Self Test Kit

Some SELFCHECK self test kits require a small blood sample from your finger tip. Make sure you read the instructions through first before touching the components or starting the test. It is easy to see your result - the instructions will tell you how long to wait depending on the test you are using but generally it is about 10 minutes. The results are easily interpreted as one line negative or two lines positive. The instruction leaflet gives you further information on appropriate course of action to take - see www.selfchecktests.com for details of our full range of blood and other self test kits.
Key points:
1) Press the lancet (very) firmly against your finger tip - then press the button to activate the needle - be brave! The lancet is specifically designed to reduce pain from the finger prick. You will not see the needle at any time as it retracts into the casing of the lancet after activation for safety reasons. We provide you with two lancets. Not because one might not work, but because there is a chance that you might not press firmly enough with the first lancet if you are unfamiliar with this particular brand.
2) You will need to collect drops of blood about the size of a ladybird . Hold the pipette horizontal to the blood drop (blood doesn't flow up hill!) but don't press the bulb, the pipette fills automatically by capillary action.
3) Once the blood reaches the black line on the pipette it will stop filling as this is the correct amount of blood to use in the test. The blood can be ejected in to the sample well of the test cassette by squeezing the pipette bulb (the bulb will only work if the blood is filled to the black line). It's a simple but clever design to ensure you add the right amount of blood).
The two, high quality, sterile lancets supplied with your SELFCHECK tests are the same as those used in hospitals and clinics and are designed to be simple to use and are manufactured by Oxford based medical company Owen Mumford.
SELFCHECK tests are assembled in the UK by JR Biomedical Ltd under a full medical quality system (ISO13485:2016).

If like me , you came here to see reviews on this hidden gem of a product!, I I’ve got you. I highly recommend these tests!, yes they do show a positive reading very early on I am 6 days past ovulation, I chose this test as simply if my pregnancy doesn’t stick and results in a chemical early loss I knew not to drive myself crazy wondering if there was a line on a urine test. This has given me a boost that even if my pregnancy is does not become viable I can now seek fertility advice. There is a TikTok regarding this test which is how I came across it, I advise if you do take this test to follow up with urine tests following your missed period to confirm for sure. Please be aware this test is very sensitive and if you get a positive and go on not to test positive on a urine test it does not mean this was a false positive they are extremely rare despite what you may read, it simple means that your HCG didn’t reach the required amount to produce a positive result before resulting in a miscarrying early on. If you’ve read this far, good luck on your testing!, sending you all the baby dust possible ❤

What kind of test is this what does a test does a calcium potassium ion niacin

[@DayOneNotOneDay-f8h]

You know youve picked a bad test when the instructions direct you to a tutorial video with zero commentary and in 480p. I literally could of done better in my bedroom with a iphone

[@JaylaFerrell]

This showed absolutely nothing

[@julielindop8012]

How many DPO can you test?

[@SELFCHECKTests]

Around 6 to 8 days but you must take into consideration that there is a high risk of miscarriage in the most early weeks of pregnancy so if you do test positive very early on this may be negative when tested later on.

How do you get the results

[@helenbodily1441]

That’s what I was thinking lol

[@SELFCHECKTests]

@@helenbodily1441 Thank you for your feedback - the description has been amended. Generally, the tests take about 10 minutes before the result can be read - 2 lines positive, 1 line negative. Further information is provided in the instruction leaflet as to the action to be taken on your result.

[@mandanolan4656]

These are not accurate and can give a false positive. I got a positive and im not even pregnant 🙄

[@SELFCHECKTests]

@@mandanolan4656 Hello Manda, thank you for your comments. The SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test detects hCG, the same hormone detected in urine pregnancy tests and has been shown in independent trials to be a reliable and easy to use pregnancy test. The same device used in the SELFCheck test is also used in hospitals as a quick and reliable way to find out if a woman is pregnant. Of course, if you test very early, there is a risk that you may have been pregnant at the time of the test but you might not be later on. Sadly, it is not uncommon for a pregnancy to be lost at a very early stage. Urine pregnancy tests are less sensitive than a blood test, so you might get a positive result with a blood test days or weeks before you see a positive result with a urine test (this is mentioned on the back of the box that the test is in). Also, all doctors know and accept that any medical test, whether used in a laboratory or at home, will give a very small number of false negative or positive results. This is explained in the instruction leaflet provided with your SELFCheck test. Further information about this test, together with FAQs can be found on our website www.selfchecktests.com. If you get a positive result with any pregnancy test you should make an appointment with your GP for further advice.

Hello Raylyn, well spotted! This is one of our colleagues in the laboratory where the tests are made demonstrating how the test is used.

Why too much blood

[@sootycats9562]

Gives false positives.. 1 test for £9.50.

[@SELFCHECKTests]

You are correct, all medical tests whether used in the lab, clinic or at home will give on rare occasions a small amount of false positive or false negative results. All doctors are aware and appreciate this.

All tests give false positives
