Home Pregnancy HCG Test Strip Kit 10 Tests
10 Pregnancy Test Strips individually foil wrapped
Test Sensitivity
Our tests are 25mIU sensitivity. This may detect pregnancy from as little as 7 days after conception but it is recommended that you test from the first day of a missed period. Testing too early is more likely to give false positive results. If you are trying to become pregnant or don't want to be pregnant, you want to know quickly if you are pregnant or not. The pregnancy tests that we offer are fast, accurate (greater than 99%), reliable and an easy alternative when you require immediate discreet results in the privacy of your own home. They are shipped quickly and discreetly and our listings for these tests are private.
The tests are loose packed with an instruction leaflet and are individually foil wrapped. They provide reliable testing at a fraction of shop prices.
What does the test result look like?
If I see 2 lines but one is fainter than the other is this a positive result?
Yes, if 2 lines appear you are pregnant.
How long will it take before I can read the result?
You can read the results in less than 5 minutes – usually about a minute.
What if there are no lines?
If no lines appear - the result is invalid - this is usually due to the test strip not being dipped in the urine for long enough meaning that the test strip is not wet enough. Repeat the test with a fresh strip taking care to follow the instructions.
What is the difference between home tests and those done by a doctor?
Many doctors and clinics use pregnancy test strips to verify the results, in which case they are exactly the same. In fact these test strips are also supplied to the NHS so there is a chance that your Doctor may use one of these anyway. Occasionally, some women may be given a blood test, but they aren’t very different from home pregnancy tests either. Both types look for the presence of HCG in your body.
What should I do with my results?
If your pregnancy test result is positive, you should consult your doctor to discuss your pregnancy and what steps and precautions should be taken next. In addition, if your test is negative and you still suspect you may be pregnant, you may want to confirm your test results with another home pregnancy test a few days later. If you test too early you may get a negative result because not enough of the HCG hormone has built up in your system.
Can anything affect the results of these tests?
Painkillers, oral contraceptives, antibiotics and other common drugs will not affect the result of these tests. Drinking alcohol doesn't usually affect the result but in rare cases may do. Only medicines that contain HCG can produce a false positive result. If you are unsure about your result or your period has still not started you should see your doctor for advice.
How does a home pregnancy test work?
A home pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) in your urine. HCG is produced in the placenta shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. This hormone then builds up rapidly in your body in the first few days following implantation. The concentration of HCGin non-pregnant women is normally 5.0mIU/ml. At the time of the last missed period, urine HCG levels are about 100mlU/ml with peak levels of 100,000 to 200,000mlU/ml seen at 3 months. From the first day of becoming pregnant the level of HCG doubles every day for the first 3 months.
How early should I test.
Ideally you should wait until you have missed a period before you test, however many tests will detect a pregnancy earlier than this. Testing too early however is more likely to give false positive results.
Unfortunately, 20 - 30% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and many of these are very early pregnancies. If you test before the day your period is due, you could catch an early pregnancy and end up going on to have your period anyway due to a very early miscarriage. If you had waited to test until your period was due, you wouldn't be aware that you had a miscarriage. Some women will find it very hard to deal with this emotionally.
If you can’t wait and want to test early take the following into consideration to help you decide.
Please remember that every woman is different and the time it takes for the fertilized egg to implant in your uterus wall can vary. A common misconception is that implantation occurs 7 days after conception, but research shows that the first appearance of HCG, due to implantation occurrs 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation. If you don't get a positive pregnancy test, it doesn't mean that you are not pregnant. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought or that implantation took longer than the average.
A test with the sensitivity of 25 mIU can pick up a pregnancy at 6-8 days after conception but the percentage of women who get a positive this early is relatively low. A much higher percentage of women get a positive result at 9 or 10 days past conception.
How accurate are these tests?
These tests have proved greater than 99% accurate in laboratory and consumer studies.
What is the expiry date of the tests?
The sachets are stamped on the back with the expiry date and will have a minimum of 12 months left - usually much longer.
When should I do the test?
Tests can be taken at any time of the day. However, we do recommend that you test first thing in the morning when your urine is most concentrated. Do not drink large amounts of fluid in an attempt to increase the volume of urine as this may dilute the urine making HCG more difficult to detect.
If you are trying to get pregnant or have pregnancy symptoms, be sure to take care of your health. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. If you are taking prescription or over the counter medication, be sure to check with your doctor to make sure they are safe to take while pregnant. Start taking folic acid to help ensure the health of your unborn child.
Enjoy your journey, if this is your first child your life will never be the same again!
