Frequently asked questions
What is a pregnancy test kit?
A pregnancy test kit is a rapid at-home test which detects the presence of beta-hCG in the urine to confirm pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant, the presence of human gonadotropin hormone (hCG) increases in the urine. The pregnancy test kit detects hCG quickly with 99% accuracy.
What is a pregnancy kit used for?
A pregnancy test kit is used to detect the human gonadotropin hormone in the body, which is produced around 6 days after fertilisation. The test confirms with rapid accuracy if a woman is pregnant or not.
How to test pregnancy at home?
You can test for pregnancy by collecting the first urine of the day in a dry container. Place the dropper in the urine and collect. Then, 2-3 urine drops are to be dropped in the sample well of the test kit. Wait for 5 minutes for the test to finish processing. If two lines appear against the C & T markings, it confirms pregnancy. A single line confirms negative pregnancy.
When should I do a pregnancy test?
For the most accurate results, it is advised to use a pregnancy test kit on the first day of your missed period. If you have irregular periods or are not sure, it is recommended to the test 21 days after the last time you had unprotected intercourse.
Is a pregnancy test accurate if it is taken before a period?
If a pregnancy test is taken before missed periods, it may not accurately detect the presence of hCG in the body. For best results, take the test the day after your missed period or 21 days after the last unprotected intercourse.

What are the signs and symptoms of pregnancy?
The initial symptoms of pregnancy include missed periods, nausea, vomiting as well as breast changes and fatigue. Some women may also experience light spotting after fertilisation, stress, heartburn, headaches and mood swings.
How to differentiate between PMS and pregnancy symptoms?
It can get confusing to differentiate between symptoms of pregnancy and PMS as they often overlap like nausea, bloating, mood swings, fatigue and breast pain. However, with pregnancy, women experience bright red spotting, nipple changes, morning sickness and missed periods. It is advised to observe the different symptoms and take a home pregnancy test to confirm after a missed period.
