FirstView Midstream Early Detection Pregnancy Tests 3 Pack

The FirstView Midstream Early Detection Pregnancy Tests 3 Pack is a home urine test that detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) — the hormone your body produces during pregnancy. With a stated sensitivity of 10 mIU/ml, it may give a positive result up to six days before your missed period, which makes it a useful option if you would rather not wait to test. Each pack contains three individually sealed midstream tests, so you have spares on hand for testing early and again a couple of days later.

The midstream design lets you test hygienically by holding the absorbent tip directly in your urine stream, without needing a separate collection container — though you can still dip the tip into a collected sample if you prefer. Results appear as clear lines in the result window in approximately three minutes, and no additional equipment is needed. When used as directed from the expected day of your period, the test is over 99% accurate.

How to use it

1. Remove the test device from its sealed pouch and take off the protective cap.
2. Hold the absorbent tip in your urine stream for approximately 15 seconds, or dip it into a clean, dry container of collected urine as per the supplied instructions.
3. Replace the cap and lay the test flat with the result window facing upward.
4. Wait approximately three minutes, then read the result. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

Two lines — one in the control area and one in the test area — indicate a positive result, and a faint test line within the correct reading window may still indicate pregnancy. A single control line only is a negative result. If no control line appears, the result is invalid; discard that device and test again with a new one.

When to test

You can test up to six days before your missed period, but testing from the expected day of your period gives the most reliable result. When testing early, first morning urine is recommended because it may contain the highest concentration of hCG. If the result is negative before your period is due, it helps to repeat the test after about 48 hours — which is where having three tests in the pack comes in handy.

Best For

The FirstView Midstream Early Detection Pregnancy Tests are a great option for parents who:

• Want the option to test before a missed period, with an early-detection sensitivity of 10 mIU/ml
• Prefer a hygienic midstream format that doesn't require a separate collection cup
• Would like more than one test on hand so they can confirm an early result a couple of days later

Good to know

Testing too early may give a false-negative result, so if your result is negative but your period doesn't start, repeat the test after approximately 48 hours. Certain fertility medicines containing hCG and some medical conditions may affect the result. A positive home pregnancy test should be confirmed with a qualified healthcare professional, and this test does not replace professional medical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment. Seek urgent medical advice if a positive result is accompanied by severe abdominal or pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, shoulder-tip pain, fainting or severe dizziness, or feeling acutely unwell. Store the tests in a cool, dry place away from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat, and keep each one sealed until you're ready to use it.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Avoid drinking a lot of fluid before testing — diluted urine can lower the hCG concentration and make an early result harder to read. First morning urine is your best bet when testing ahead of your expected period.
