Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test work?
The SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test detects elevated levels of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in the bloodstream. hCG is a hormone produced shortly after conception, and its presence in blood can indicate pregnancy. This test uses a simple finger-prick blood sample to measure hCG levels, providing results within 5 minutes.
How soon after conception can I use the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test?
You can use the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test just days after conception. Unlike urine tests, which typically detect pregnancy about a week after a missed period, this blood test can provide accurate results earlier because hCG appears in the blood before it does in urine.
How accurate is the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test compared to urine tests?
The SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test is considered more reliable than standard urine tests. It can detect lower levels of hCG earlier, allowing for earlier and more accurate pregnancy detection. Additionally, blood tests are often used in hospital laboratories to confirm urine test results.
Can the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test be used at any time of day?
Yes, the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test can be performed at any time of day. Unlike urine tests, which may require first-morning urine for optimal accuracy, this blood test is unaffected by factors like fluid intake and can be used whenever convenient.
What should I do if I get a positive result on the SELFCheck Pregnancy Blood Test?
If you receive a positive result, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to confirm the pregnancy and discuss next steps. Early detection allows for prompt lifestyle adjustments and planning.
