FAQ

Here’s our list of most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed or you need further clarification, please contact us directly.

How many mIU/L?

The BFP pregnancy tests are testing at the 20 miu level.

How early can I test?

You can begin testing as early as 7 days past ovulation.

What time of day should I test?

You will want to use your first morning urine to test – as this is your most concentrated sample.

How do I know the test is working?

You can confirm that the test is working accurately if you receive a valid control line. A test without a control line would be an invalid test, and should be discarded.

Is there an expiration date for these tests?

The expiration date is printed on the back of the packet. Generally, the expiration date will be approximately eighteen months from the purchase date.

How many tests do I get per package? 

Each test is individually packaged. You will want to update the quantity with the amount of tests that you would like to purchase, i.e. – Quantity 10, would be 10 pregnancy tests.

How is this test different from the test strip format?

The only differences between these tests is how you use them. For the test strip format, you will collect a urine sample and then dip the test into that collected sample. For the midstream format, you will hold the test midstream while urinating. Otherwise, the tests have the same accuracy and sensitivity.

My test line is faint but visible. Is this a positive?

Yes, any test line that is visible to the naked eye (at the testing time frame) is considered to be a positive test result.

My test line became positive after the testing time frame, is that a positive?

A positive test result will not change after the testing time frame. However, a negative test result should not be read after 30 minutes. If you are unclear, we recommend that you retest with the next day’s first morning urine to confirm results.

Is it normal to get a positive with these, but still get negative’s with other pregnancy tests? I’m assuming it’s because these are really sensitive?

Yes, pregnancy tests may have a different sensitivity. You’d want to compare that on each test!

My blood test is positive, but the results on the pregnancy test are negative.  Should I be concerned?

Blood test results and urine test results should not be compared. HCG will hit the blood stream earlier than urine and isn’t subject to dilution. As such, a blood test done by your physician is a more accurate test.

I have missed my period, but test result is still negative. What could be happening?

Unfortunately, there are a variety of reasons why your period could be delayed-stress, sickness, etc. If your period does not start within a week, repeat the test. If you still receive a negative result and your period has not started, you may want to follow up with your physician.
