Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of the hCG hormone in urine, which is produced during early pregnancy. Many tests can detect pregnancy as early as 6–8 days after conception, and results are typically available in just a few minutes.
We offer both single and multi-pack tests, as well as ultra-sensitive early detection options. All tests are CE-marked and meet EU health and safety standards.
Frequently Asked Questions – Pregnancy Tests
How do pregnancy tests work?
Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in urine, which is produced during early pregnancy.
When can I take a pregnancy test?
You can take most pregnancy tests from the first day of your missed period. Some early detection tests can be used up to 6 days before your period is due.
Are early pregnancy tests accurate?
Yes, early pregnancy tests are over 99% accurate when used from the day of your expected period. Accuracy decreases slightly when testing earlier.
What is the difference between digital and line pregnancy tests?
Digital tests display clear results like “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant”, while line tests use coloured lines to indicate a result. Both are highly accurate when used correctly.
How soon can I get a positive result?
Some sensitive tests may detect pregnancy 6–8 days after conception, but most accurate results occur around the time of a missed period.
Can a pregnancy test give a false positive?
False positives are rare but can occur due to medications, recent pregnancy, or medical conditions. Always confirm with your GP.
Can I reuse a pregnancy test?
No. Pregnancy tests are single-use only. Reusing a test will not provide a valid or accurate result.
Do medications affect the result?
Most medications do not affect results. However, fertility drugs containing hCG can lead to false positives. Check the leaflet or speak with a pharmacist.
Which pregnancy test brand is most reliable?
Brands like Clearblue and First Response are widely recommended for their accuracy, sensitivity, and ease of use.
What should I do after a positive pregnancy test?
If you receive a positive result, contact your GP to confirm the pregnancy and begin appropriate antenatal care.
