How to read

Pregnant: Two Pink Lines appear in the Easy Read Result Window. Note: One line may be lighter than the other. This result shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected. Please see your healthcare professional to confirm this result.

Not Pregnant: Only One Pink Line appears in the Easy Read Result Window.

Caution: Although you may not be pregnant, it could also be too early to tell. For instance, your urine may not have enough of the pregnancy hormone to be detected yet. If you do not get your period within 7 days, retest with another First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test. If you receive another Not Pregnant result and your period still hasn’t started, call your healthcare professional.

Pregnancy Test Strips Work By Detecting Hormones in Your Urine

From the earliest moments of conception, your body starts to undergo monumental changes. One of the very first signs of being pregnant is your body’s production of the pregnancy hormone, hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), which can be detected in your blood and in your urine.

The amount of hCG in your body increases rapidly. It doubles every 36 to 48 hours as your pregnancy progresses, reaching its peak at eight to ten weeks. Pregnancy tests work by detecting the hCG hormone in your urine. When your urine comes in contact with the specially treated strip on a pregnancy test stick, results appear within minutes, indicating whether or not hCG, the pregnancy hormone, has been detected.

What happens when the pregnancy test detects the hCG hormone differs slightly by the brand and type of test. The basic way pregnancy test kits work is the presence of the hCG hormone creates a reaction within the test strip, which is then displayed as positive or negative results. Most tests have a results window and after a few minutes of contact with your urine will show two lines or a plus sign if you are pregnant, and a single line or minus sign if you are not.
