How we tested
Every pregnancy test in this guide was scored across six axes by our editorial team. We weight safety heaviest, then ease and value — the trio that matters most for everyday use. Picks come from the 3 pregnancy tests we track; recalls, certification changes, and owner-feedback shifts trigger a rescore within 24 hours of the news, on top of a full monthly review.
