PRIMA Early Pregnancy Test contains 2 tests that can be used for any woman who wants to confirm the onset of pregnancy before the expected day of menstruation, by detecting hCG levels in the urine.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) starts to be produced by the body during the very early stages of pregnancy when the fertilized egg is transported from the fallopian tubes to the uterus where it subsequently nestles. It is possible to perform the test three days before the presumed arrival of menstruation, using the first urine in the morning.
Remove the protective cap and place the absorbing tip right under the flow of urine for at least 10 seconds.
Alternatively, collect the urine in a clean and dry container and dip the absorbing tip into the urine for 10 seconds
Please place the protective cap back onto the spoon device and wait 5 minutes before reading the results
This test can be performed three days before the presumed arrival of menstruation, using the first urine in the morning.
Negative - hCG levels in the urine are below the 10mUI/ml cut-off
Positive - The concentration of hCG hormone in the urine is equal to or greater than the cut-off, indicating pregnancy. Contact your doctor or specialist.
PRIMA Early Pregnancy Test checks urine for hCG, the hormone the body starts producing very early in pregnancy after implantation. Because hCG rises quickly in early pregnancy, this is the marker used in most pregnancy tests and the reason the kit can be used before the expected day of menstruation.
PRIMA Early Pregnancy Test includes two tests, which is useful if you want to test early and then check again a little later. First-morning urine is often preferred because hCG is more concentrated then, especially in the earliest days.
What does PRIMA Early Pregnancy Test detect?
It detects hCG in urine. hCG is the hormone that starts rising in early pregnancy.
How early can I use PRIMA Early Pregnancy Test?
It is designed to be used up to three days before the expected day of menstruation. Testing later can be helpful if you want extra confirmation.
Why are there two tests in the pack?
Having two tests lets you check early and then repeat the test if needed. That can be reassuring if you are testing before your expected period and want to confirm the result.
Is first-morning urine best for this test?
Yes, especially when testing early. hCG tends to be more concentrated in first-morning urine, which can make early detection easier.
