If testing from the day of your expected period, you can test at any time of day. If test early, use the first urine of the day.
1. Remove the test stick from the foil wrapper and take off the cap. Use the test stick right away.
2. You can test directly in your urine stream or in a sample of your urine collected in a clean, dry container.Hold the color change tip pointing downwards in either your urine stream or in your collected urine sample for 5 seconds.
--You must continue to hold the color change tip in the urine for a full 5 seconds.
--Or, start timing 5 seconds as soon as you see the color change tip turn pink.
Keep the tip pointing downwards or lay the test stick flat until you are ready to read the result and a blue line has appeared in the control window. You may wish to replace the cap. Wait 3 minutes.
3. Reading your result after 3 minutes. A blue line must be present in the control window when you read your result. This line shows that the test has worked. A "+" indicates a positive result. A "-" indicates a negative result.
If no blue line appears in the Control Window within 10 minutes, the test has not worked.
Read your result within 10 minutes of doing a test. Disregard any changes to your result after this time.
