Common Questions About Pregnancy Tests & Ovulation Tests

What is hCG? Is it a brand?

The hCG Urine Pregnancy Test Strip is a test kit for the determination of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in urine specimens. This test kit is used to obtain a visual, qualitative result for the early detection of pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. The appearance of hCG soon after conception and its subsequent rise in concentration during early gestational growth make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Negative: Only one color band appears on the control region. No apparent band on the test region. This indicates that no pregnancy has been detected.

Positive: Distinct color bands appear on the control and test regions. Presence of both test line and control line indicate that you are pregnant. The color intensity of the test bands may vary since different stages of pregnancy have different concentrations of HCG hormone. NOTE: A positive test line will appear directly below the control line on the same test surface (or ‘result window’ area). Any line or accumulation of color/dye that appears at the juncture between test components should not be mistaken for "test line” (this is only the source of the test reagent & dye).

Invalid: No visible band at all. The control band will not appear if an insufficient volume of specimen is added into the test kit. Proper procedures may not have been followed in performing the test. Repeat with a new test kit. Please consult above instructions and follow precisely.

Should I use "first morning urine” to test for pregnancy?

To increase the accuracy – or more precisely to increase the possibility of receiving a positive test result earlier – it is advised to use a first morning sample when testing for pregnancy. Why? Unless you have urinated in the middle of the night, first morning urine should exhibit a higher concentration of the the pregnancy hormone, hCG. This means you can get an accurate result sooner than with other samples collected during the day or evening.

Should I not drink fluids before testing?

Along with holding your urine, you should not consume an exorbitant amount of liquids (which might cause frequent urination or dilute a urine sample). However, do not dehydrate yourself – just drink the normal amount of water you would anyway.

Bottom line – use a first morning urine sample to test and thereby increase the odds of detecting pregnancy sooner.

The test kits can be stored at room temperature (18 to 30°C) in the sealed pouch to the date of expiration. The test kits should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Do not use test kit beyond expiration date. The test device should not be reused.
