3 ways to test

Early Digital, Early Detection and Rapid Detection all detect the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in urine.

Early Digital, Early Detection and Rapid Detection are all over 99% accurate in laboratory tests from the day you expect your period.¹

You can use Early Digital and Early Detection 6 days before your missed period (5 days before you expect your period).² Rapid Detection can be used 5 days before your missed period (4 days before you expect your period).³ However, as hormone levels vary from woman to woman, and in early pregnancy can be very low, you may be pregnant but still get a negative result.

If testing before you expect your period always use the first urine of the day, as any pregnancy hormone will be more concentrated. If testing from the day you expect your period, hormone levels will be higher if you are pregnant, so you can test with urine from any time of the day.

See your doctor as soon as possible who may confirm your pregnancy, after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated.

You may not be pregnant, or the level of pregnancy hormone may not yet be high enough to be detected. If you tested before your expected period, test again when your period is due. If this test gives you a ‘Not Pregnant’ result and you still think you might be pregnant, see your doctor.

Always read the manufacturer’s instructions for any medication you are taking before testing. If you get unexpected results you should discuss them with your doctor. Medications containing hCG or FSH and other hormone therapies may affect the result. Ectopic or recent pregnancy, even if not carried to full term, can cause misleading results. The test should NOT be affected by hormone therapies containing Clomiphene citrate, common painkillers, alcohol, antibiotics, or the contraceptive pill.
