When I tested, I just bought a local brand kit from my nearby chemist for around 60 rupees. It was very simple to use and gave me a clear result within two minutes right in my bathroom.
I completely understand how stressful waiting to test can be, your mind must be running with a thousand thoughts. A basic home test card like Prega News is very cheap, around 50 to 100 rupees, so you can do it easily at home without any panic.
I just delivered last month, and I remember buying a Prega News kit for exactly 50 rupees from my local store. It worked perfectly on my first day of missed period, so go ahead and get one.
Don't go for those expensive digital ones that cost 300-400 rupees, they do the exact same thing. Just get a standard 50 rupee strip test from any medical store, it is highly accurate if you use your first morning urine.
A simple strip test is just 50 rupees, which is great because pregnancy involves so many other expensive blood tests later. During my GD journey, I had to save budget for regular sugar monitoring and specific healthy foods, so starting with a cheap home test is definitely the smartest choice.
What if you get a faint line and have to test again? I'd suggest buying two or three cards at once—they are only about 50-70 rupees each—so you have backup kits and don't keep worrying if the first one was a mistake.
Arre, it's very cheap, barely 50 or 60 rupees for a normal test card at any local chemist. No need to stress or spend big money on fancy kits, just buy a basic one and do the test tomorrow morning.
