When testing for pregnancy you want to be sure. That’s why we’ve included three unique tests all in one box. Each test offers a different way to learn your result so when the time comes, you feel as confident as possible.

Early Pregnancy Detection Matters⁴

The first few weeks of pregnancy are critical to fetal development, so early prenatal care is important for a healthy birth weight and the baby’s survival. The sooner you know you’re pregnant, the sooner you can begin making healthy pregnancy choices for yourself and your baby that include diet, nutrition and limiting your exposure to hazards.

Things to Know About Testing Early...Some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of the pregnancy hormone in their urine on the day they use the test. The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as the pregnancy progresses. In laboratory testing, FIRST RESPONSE™ detected the pregnancy hormone levels in 76% of pregnant women, 5 days before their expected period; in 96% of pregnant women, 4 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 3 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 2 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 1 day before their expected period; and in >99% of pregnant women, on the day of their expected period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Early Result Pregnancy Test

How do the FIRST RESPONSE™ Pregnancy Tests work?

The tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is the hormone your body produces during pregnancy.

When can I test with FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test?

The FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test is designed to detect hCG as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before the day of the expected period). The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses. In laboratory testing with early pregnancy urine samples, FIRST RESPONSE™ gave the following results:

NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE EXPECTED PERIOD	% OF SAMPLES FROM PREGNANT WOMEN GIVING A POSITIVE RESULT
5	76%
4	96%
3	>99%
2	>99%
1	>99%

How accurate is the test?

FIRST RESPONSE™ is >99% accurate from the day of the expected period in laboratory studies. 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 result is positive (pregnant)?

A 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 result is negative (not pregnant)?

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 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 still there are 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 not holding the device with the Absorbent Tip pointing downward while replacing the Overcap. You should retest with another device, carefully following all directions.

Will the result change if left standing for a certain period of time?

The test result should be read as soon as possible after waiting the 3 minutes. A negative result should not be read after 10 minutes.

Do any drugs or medications affect the test?

Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG) can affect the result (for example, A.P.L.⁴, Pregnyl⁵, Profasi⁶ and Pergonal⁶). The test should not be affected by hormone therapies containing: Clomiphene citrate (for example Clomid⁷ and Serophene⁶); alcohol; antibiotics; or the contraceptive pill.

What do I do if the result on the Display Screen is "YES+" (pregnant)?

A "YES+" 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 result on the Display Screen is "NO-" (not pregnant)?

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 Gold™ Digital Pregnancy Test. It is possible that you miscalculated the length of your cycle, or your urine may not have had enough pregnancy hormone for the test to register a "YES+" result. If upon retesting, you get another "NO-" result and your period has still not started, you should call your doctor.

The blinking clock has disappeared followed by a "?" on the Display Screen. What does this mean?

What will happen if the plastic holder gets wet?

Some splashing while using the test will not damage the test, but if it becomes very wet it can become damaged. If the test becomes damaged, the Display Screen will either go blank or an error "?" message will appear.

Do any drugs or medications affect the test?

I removed the device from the wrapper and the clock symbol appeared on the Display Screen, but I'm not ready to use the test. What should I do?
