About
Pregnancy Tests
Pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine
samples. Shortly after conception, hCG is secreted by a devloping placenta. Accurate
detection of hCG in a pregnant woman can occur as early as 6 days after conception
once the level of hCG has reached 5-50 mIU/mL. mIU/mL stands for milli Internetational
Units per milli Liter.
When comparing pregnancy tests, it is important to note that the more sensitive
the test is to hCG, the better. Our tests detect hCG with a sensitivity of 20
mIU/mL. Since our tests are so sensitive to hCG, they are greater than
99.9% accurate which means you can be certain the results are accurate.
Results take only minutes and you can use the test any time of the day.

About
Ovulation Tests
Ovulaltion tests help determine the concentration of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) in
urine samples. Women who know their concentration of LH can use that information
to increase their chances of conceiving. During a woman's menstrual cycle, LH is
release from the pituitary gland and stimulates the ovaries to produce and release
eggs. A woman's LH level is greatest right before ovulation.
When comparing ovulation tests, it is important to note that the more sensitive
the test is to LH, the better. Our tests detect LH with sensitivity of 25mIU/mL.
Since our tests are so sensitive to LH, they are greater than 99.8% accurate
which means you can be certain the results are accurate. Results take only minutes
and you can use the test any time of the day.
