How does a home pregnancy test work?A home pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (H.C.G.) in your urine. H.C.G. 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. Usually H.C.G. can be detected by a home pregnancy test 7-10 days after conception. The further in to the pregnancy you are the higher the levels of H.C.G. in your urine.
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 H.C.G. more difficult to detect.
How does the test work?Simply collect a urine specimen in any clean container. Use the pipette (dropper) provided in the foil pack to collect enough urine, squeeze a few drops onto the well at the bottom of the cassette and wait for the result to appear in the test window.
