Frequently asked questions
Why does the PS-1 cost more than other Pregmate packs?
The PS-1 is sold as a larger pack with more strips, which raises the total price. Buying in bulk like this usually lowers the cost per test compared with a small single cycle box.
How do I read a strip test result?
You compare the test line against the reference printed on the box or in the instructions. Read within the timing window the directions give, since reading too early or too late can make the result harder to judge.
Is this a substitute for seeing a doctor?
No. HealthQuay is informational only and this is not medical advice. If you want to confirm a result or have questions about your cycle, speak with a healthcare professional.
