What is a midstream test?

All pharmacies have pregnancy tests.

I hadn't heard that word before either, so went googling...

Apparently it's the pregnancy test minust the plastic part, more or less. Why... I assume it's because they are much cheaper than the ordinary kind.

Anyhow, I have never seen them here and if the pharmacies didn't have them then I'm pretty sure you cannot get them here. But there seems to be quite a lot of online shops selling them (check the shipping fees before ordering, though!).

Just get whatever's available. If you don't want to hold it midstream, pee in a cup/jar and stick the test in the cup/jar, just don't let the pee get all the way up onto the plastic part. Take it out after a couple seconds and let sit for 3 minutes. It will give you the same results. Good luck!

Citymarket sell them, they are in a box.

Also you can get them off ebay quite cheapily and its not so much to post over here. Ive had some of ebay, if you want to know who I used please pm me. But you can pick something easily going by the prices and their ratings.

Ahh, apparently I spoke way too quickly! You learn something new every day. :)

With the search words "liuska raskaustesti" there are several online stores selling them and apparently also Prisma is selling them in addition to CM that Sara mentioned.
