How expensive is a pregnancy test?

My period is late, and I'm a bit worried. I want to buy a pregnancy test, but I'm on a tight budget right now. Roughly, how much does a typical pregnancy test cost in India?

A pregnancy test kit is very cheap, costing only about 50 to 100 rupees at any local pharmacy. Don't worry, you don't need any prescription to buy it, just ask for it directly.

These home testing strip kits are highly affordable, usually under 100 rupees. If it is positive, please make sure to visit a doctor for a proper blood test and check your blood pressure, as keeping health parameters stable from the start is very important.

I remember panicking so much thinking it would be some expensive medical procedure! But the urine strip test is just 60-80 rupees at the chemist, and it takes only 5 minutes to do at home. It is very simple and totally normal to feel nervous.

It is very inexpensive, around 50-100 rupees. If you are planning a pregnancy, alongside these tests, make sure to start adding green leafy vegetables and folic acid foods to your daily meals.

The test strip costs less than a decent cup of coffee, honestly! Only 70 rupees. The expensive part is what comes after the test is positive, so enjoy the cheap test while you can!

A standard home urine pregnancy card costs between 60 to 150 rupees and is highly reliable when used correctly. However, a positive home test should always be confirmed via a beta-hCG blood test and clinical consultation with your gynecologist.
