Women’s FAQs
A home pregnancy test is a quick and simple method used to detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone (hCG) in the urine to confirm early pregnancy.
You can take the test 3 to 7 days after a missed period, depending on the sensitivity of the test.
We offer a variety of options to suit your needs:
Cassette Test – Accurate and easy to use.
Strip Test – Affordable and fast.
Midstream Test – More comfortable and hygienic; no urine cup required.
Our tests are certified and offer up to 99% accuracy when used correctly according to the included instructions.
In very rare cases, false positives or false negatives may occur due to:
Testing too early.
Very diluted urine.
Taking medications containing hCG.
Positive (Two lines) ➜ Pregnancy detected.
Negative (One line) ➜ No pregnancy.
No lines appear ➜ The test is invalid and should be repeated.
Yes, but for the most accurate result, it is recommended to use it first thing in the morning.
Use the first-morning urine, as it contains the highest hormone concentration.
Follow the instructions carefully.
Wait only the recommended time (usually 3–5 minutes).
A faint line in the test area (T-line) is usually considered positive, indicating the presence of hCG, but at a low concentration.
Yes. Drinking large amounts of water or fluids before taking the test can dilute the urine and lower the concentration of hCG, especially during early pregnancy, which may affect accuracy.
Most common medications do not affect pregnancy test results.
Only medications containing hCG can cause a false positive.
Quality & Accuracy
Home pregnancy test sensitivity typically ranges from 20–50 mIU/mL, meaning they can detect hCG at these levels.
Highly sensitive tests (around 10 mIU/mL) can detect pregnancy earlier, while lower-sensitivity tests (25 mIU/mL or higher) may be less accurate in the first days after a missed period.
Home pregnancy tests have an accuracy rate of up to 99% when used correctly and at the right time.
Two years or more.
Easy storage at room temperature.
