First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 2 Count (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Typically, you never want to test before eight days post ovulation. Your body needs time to send the fertilized egg down your fallopian tubes, and the egg needs to implant into your uterine walls and start to develop the HCG hormone that pregnancy tests detect. Depending on your plans for your pregnancy you will need to take different routes. If a positive test is good news you need to book an appointment with a midwife between 8-10 weeks going by your LMP (last menstrual period). If you’re not sure you can simply self refer to your local midwifery services or call your GP for further information. Let’s take a look at the current most sensitive pregnancy tests on the market. How Do Home Pregnancy Tests Work?

If you’re keen to test early, but don’t want to leave yourself squinting into the sunlight or editing photos of your pregnancy tests to see if that line is solely in your imagination, the Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy test can make the testing experience a whole lot simpler. Unlike dye-based tests that require looking out for a line or cross in the results window, these tests use digital technology instead. All home pregnancy tests work the same way - by measuring the hCG levels in your urine- but when it comes to dye-based tests, which are the ones which give line results, there is some debate as to whether pink dye based tests or blue dye tests are better. Whilst this is a frequent topic of discussion on the Mumsnet Conception boards, the general consensus is usually that pink dye tests - such as First Response Early Result tests - are more trustworthy than blue dye tests, which can be more likely to show evaporation lines and even false positives. What are the best pregnancy tests UK?Aside from being the most sensitive pregnancy test, First Response displays the results in three minutes, on average, and that’s faster than other brands. The curved handle makes the test screen easier to read, and it seems to help avoid user error. If you get too much urine on the pregnancy test, you might void the test, but the curved handle reduces that chance! 2.

This hormone starts to be produced around six days after fertilisation.

When you take your First Response Early Detection pregnancy test from the first day of your expected period, your results will be over 99% accurate. Although you can use this test up to 5 days before your expected period, your test may be less effective the earlier you test.

Laboratory testing of these First Response tests saw the following results: According to an independent study, First Response has a sensitivity level of 6.3 mIU/ml. That means it detects pregnancies up to six days before you miss your period, which is fantastic. It’s the only home pregnancy that makes this claim, and it’s probably why it’s the #1 best-selling pregnancy test on the market.
