Clear&Simple Early Response Pregnancy Test Our HCG Urine pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in human urine for detection of pregnancy. The concentration of HCG in a non-pregnant woman is low, typically around 5 mIU. During pregnancy, much more of this hormone is produced and the Clear and Simple Pregnancy Midstream Test is sensitive to 20 mIU of HCG. The test is capable of detecting pregnancy as early as 4 days before the date of your missed period. However, we do recommend that if you are testing early, that you use the first urine of the day as this is when the HCG hormone is most concentrated. COMPLETING A TEST You do not need to take a urine sample but if you wish to do so, ensure it is collected in a clean and dry container. Avoid too much fluid intake before testing. Open the sealed pouch and remove the stick. Take off the cap to expose the tip. If using as a midstream test hold the stick so that it is pointing downwards in your urine stream for 10 seconds. If using as a dip test ensure it is dipped in the urine to the depth shown on the diagram for 20 seconds. Replace the cap, lay it flat and read the result within 5 minutes. As the test progresses you should see the liquid moving up the test area causing it to go light purple. As the purple fades the control line will appear as a strong line and the result line if present will appear below this. Women’s Health Pregnancy
