How early can you take a clearblue digital pregnancy test

What is the Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy Test?

The Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy Test is a pregnancy test which can give you accurate results as early as 5 days before your missed period! If you think you may be pregnant and can’t wait to find out for sure, this pregnancy test will give you the answers you’re looking for in clear words, showing the words “pregnant” or “not pregnant” on the screen when it’s done. As well as that, the unique smart countdown will show on the digital screen as you wait for your results, so you’ll know exactly when your test is done.

When should I use these pregnancy tests?

This Clearblue Pregnancy Test can tell you whether you’re pregnant up to 5 days before your missed period, which is 4 days before the day your period is due to start. For best results, track your monthly cycles as you are trying to conceive, so you’ll know when you’re ready to take your test.

What time of day is best to take a pregnancy test?

If you decide to test in the days before your missed period, you should make sure to use your first urine of the day for most accurate results. If you’re testing from the day of your expected period, you can test at any time of the day with accurate results. However, be sure that you don’t drink a lot of water or other fluid before you take the test.

Why would I need a pack of 2 pregnancy tests?

Some women choose to use two pregnancy tests to confirm their results so they can be absolutely sure that they are or are not pregnant. For example, although these Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy Tests can show that you are pregnant up to 5 days before your missed period, the tests are over 99% accurate if you test from the day of your expected period. This is why some women choose to test earlier in the 5-day window and then confirm their results on the first day of their expected period. Remember to always speak to your doctor if you’re unsure about the results of your pregnancy tests.

How do pregnancy tests work?

Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of a hormone which increases rapidly during early pregnancy. This hormone is called hCG, and your Clearblue pregnancy test can detect even tiny amounts of this hormone in your urine. This is what makes it possible to test for pregnancy so early in your cycle.

How to take your Clearblue Digital Early Detection Pregnancy Test

When it’s time to take your test, start by removing the test from its foil wrapper and removing the blue cap, exposing the absorbent tip. There are two ways to take your Clearblue Pregnancy Test, and both will provide you accurate results. You can choose to hold the test in your urine stream, or test using a urine sample:

• To test in your urine stream, simply place the absorbent tip of the pregnancy test directly into your urine stream for 5 seconds. Take care not to get the rest of the testing stick wet and keep the absorbent tip pointing downward.
• To test in a urine sample, first collect your urine in a clean, dry container. Then, hold the absorbent tip of your pregnancy test in the urine sample for 20 seconds, keeping the tip pointing downward.

Once you have taken the test, replace the cap and lay the test stick flat as you wait for around 3 minutes for your results. The countdown on the digital screen will show you when your results are ready to read.

How to read your pregnancy test results

Once your test is done, the digital countdown will disappear and your results will be shown clearly on the screen. If you’re pregnant, you’ll see the word “pregnant” on the digital screen, and if you are not pregnant you will see the words “not pregnant”.

How accurate are Clearblue pregnancy tests?

You can take this Clearblue Early Detection Pregnancy Test as early as 4 days before your expected period, but this will affect how accurate your test will be. This test is over 99% accurate if taken from the first day of your expected period, but is less effective in the days before. Clinical testing showed that the percentage of pregnant women who showed a positive pregnancy test result on the days leading up to their expected period were as follows:

• One day before your expected period – 95%
• Two days before your expected period – 90%
• Three days before your expected period – 82%
• Four days before your expected period – 51%

1. How early can I test? You can test from 6 days before your missed period (5 days before you expect your period). If you test early and get a negative (not pregnant) result, there is still a chance that you might be pregnant. See Q3 below for more information.

2. My result is Pregnant. What should I do? Consult your doctor to discuss your pregnancy and what steps and precautions you should take next. Remember, early pregnancy care is very important to ensure the health of you and your baby.

3. My result is not pregnant. What does this mean? If your test shows a negative result, no pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected in your urine. You may not be pregnant or you may have miscalculated your menstrual cycle and the pregnancy hormone level may not yet be high enough to be detected. If you are not sure of the result, you may want to re-test within the first week of a missed cycle. If you still have a negative result and your period has not started, you should consult your doctor as there may be other reasons why you have not menstruated.

4. How does the test work? It detects a very small amount of the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in your urine. HCG is produced in increasing amounts during the first trimester of pregnancy.

5. When should I read my result? The test result should be read as soon as possible after waiting for 3 minutes. Test results should not be read after 5 minutes.

6. Will drinking alcohol or using an oral contraception affect my test results? Drinking alcohol will not affect your test results. Oral contraceptives, pain killers, antibiotics or hormone therapies should not affect the test results. Only medicines which contain hCG can produce a false result. Consult your doctor if you are not sure if your medicines contain hCG.

7. Will the amount of liquid I drink affect the result? Excessive fluid intake including water could dilute your urine, causing the amount of hCG present not to be detected properly. You should not drink too much liquid before testing.
