If you have missed a period and recently had unprotected sex, you may be pregnant. Pregnancy tests are most reliable from the first day of your missed period. You can carry out most pregnancy tests from the first day of a missed period. If you don't know when your next period is due, do the test at least 21 days after you last had unprotected sex. Some very sensitive pregnancy tests can be used even before you miss a period. You can do a pregnancy test on a sample of urine collected at any time of the day. It doesn't have to be in the morning. You can buy pregnancy testing kits from pharmacists and some supermarkets. They can give a quick result and you can do the

All tests are slightly different, so always check the instructions. Home pregnancy tests are accurate as long as you follow the instructions correctly.

test but your period has not arrived. If you're pregnant and want to continue with the pregnancy, contact your GP or a midwife to start your antenatal care. You can use the pregnancy due date
calculator to work out when your baby is due. If you're not sure about continuing with the pregnancy, you can discuss this confidentially with a healthcare professional.

How do I use the First Response EasyRead App?EasyRead app scans your Early Result or Rapid Result test stick results and instantly converts your results into the words “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant.” Your privacy is our top priority! EasyRead does not save your scanned result or associate your information with the results. How accurate is the test?FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result is >99% accurate from the day of ‘missed’ period. However, some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of pregnancy hormone in their urine on the day of the test, or may have miscalculated the first day of their period. What do I do if the result is positive (pregnant)?A positive (pregnant) test result shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected, which normally indicates pregnancy. You must see your doctor to confirm that you are pregnant. If you test positive, but think you may not be pregnant, you should check with your doctor. What do I do if the result is negative (not pregnant)?You may not be pregnant, or it may be too early to tell. If you do not get your period within 7 days, you should retest with another FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test. It is possible that you miscalculated the length of your cycle, or your urine may not have had enough of the pregnancy hormone for the test to give you a positive result. If upon retesting you get another negative result and your period has still not started, you should call your doctor. I have waited longer than 3 minutes, and there are still no lines in the Result Window. Is there anything wrong?Your result should appear within 3 minutes. There should be at least one pink line in the Easy Read Result Window at 3 minutes to indicate that the test is completed and you have done it correctly. If not, the test is invalid. This could be due to insufficient urine on the Wide Absorbent Tip or not holding the device with the Wide Absorbent Tip pointing downward while replacing the Overcap. You should retest with another device, carefully following all directions. Will the result change if left standing for a certain period of time?The test result should be read as soon as possible after waiting 3 minutes. A negative result should not be read after 10 minutes. Do any drugs or medications affect the test?Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG) can affect the result (e.g., A.P.L., Pregnyl, Profasi and Pergonal). The test should not be affected by hormone therapies containing: Clomiphene citrate (e.g., Clomid and Serophene); alcohol; painkillers; antibiotics; or the contraceptive pill.
