First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test FAQs
How does the FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test work?
The FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is the hormone your body produces during pregnancy.
How accurate is the FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy 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 early detection pregnancy test result is positive (pregnant)?
An early 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 pregnancy test result is negative (not pregnant)?
If the pregnancy test result is negative, 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 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 Absorbent Tip or the device not being held with the Absorbent Tip pointing downward while replacing the Overcap. You should retest with another device, carefully following all directions.
Will the pregnancy test result change if left standing for a certain period of time?
The pregnancy 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 early detection pregnancy test?
Medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG) can affect the result (for example, A.P.L.4, Pregnyl5, Profasi6 and Pergonal6). The urine pregnancy test should not be affected by hormone therapies containing clomiphene citrate (for example Clomid7 and Serophene6); alcohol; antibiotics; or the contraceptive pill.
