Discover® One-step® Instream Pregnancy Test - Q & A

How does the test work?

DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test detects in urine the hormone your body makes during pregnancy: hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The DISCOVER® ONESTEP In-stream Pregnancy Test is so sensitive that most women have enough hCG to be detected as early as 6 days sooner than the day of their missed period (5 days before day of expected period).The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses. In clinical testing DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test detected the hormone levels in 62% of women,6 days before the day of the missed period (5 days before the day of expected period), in 78% of women 5 days before their missed period, in 87% of women 4 days before their missed period, in 98% of women 3 days before their missed periodand 99% of women 2 days before their missed period.
When can I do the test?

You can test as early as 6 days before the day of your missed period (5 days before the day of expected period). E.g. if your period is due on the 21st day of the month, you can test as early as the 16th day of the month. You can use DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test any time of the day. You don’t have to use first morning urine.Generally, however, your first morningurine contains the highest level of pregnancy hormone.
What do I do if the result is positive (pregnant)?

Remember, this test is not intended to replace your doctor’s diagnosis. A positive (pregnant) test result shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected. See your doctor to confirmthat you are pregnant and for proper pregnancy careand nutrition counselling.
What do I do if the result is negative (not pregnant)?

You may not be pregnant, or it may be too early to tell. If you do not get your period within a few days, you should retest with another DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test. It is possible that you miscalculated the length of your cycle or your urine may not have had enough pregnancy hormone for the DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test to give a positive result. If you retest and again no hCG is found, and your period still has not started, you should call your doctor.
I have waited longer than three minutes, and still there areno lines in the Result Window. Is there anything wrong?

Your result should appear within three minutes. There should be at least one pink line in the Result Window at fie minutes to indicate that the test is completed and you have done the test correctly. If not, the test is invalid. This could be due to insufficienturine on the Absorbent Tip or not holding the device with the Absorbent Tip pointing downward while replacing the cap. You should retest with another DISCOVER® ONESTEP® In-stream Pregnancy Test, carefully following all directions.
Will the result change if left standing for a certainperiod of time?

The results should be read from 3 to 10 minutes after taking the test. The accuracy cannot be guaranteed after 10 minutes. If negative (i.e. 1 pink line) the result will last for 10 minutes. After 10 minute period, disregard any further changes, it is still a negative result.
Does the use of alcohol or medications affect the result?

Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG)can affect the result. Alcohol, pain killers, antibiotics or the contraceptive pill should not affect the result.
I would like to become pregnant but haven’t been ableto yet. What can I do?

You are at your most fertile during the 2 or 3 days around ovulation, when an egg is released from your ovary. Discover Pregnancy Planning Kit helps you predict this time, thereby maximising your chances for conception.For further information regarding the test, call the Discover Advice Line or ask your pharmacist.
