The web sites reveals the messages and answers about the Clear blue pregnancy test. In these, you may find the answer for the FAQ that is related to the encountering of result window running in various routes.

This answer reveals that when the test has not worked correctly, such thing occurs sometimes and also it further insists the user to use the Clear blue pregnancy test , again.

It appears that when such thing happens with Clear blue pregnancy test, then the problem needs to be attended and fixed, inspite of simply recommending the user towards procurement of another test for usage. One may wonder to find on how it works.

Digital type

The digital Clear blue pregnancy test reveals the words PREGNANT or NOTPREGNANT as results. Hence, you need not bother on the interpretation of results by yourself. The user is expected to hold the strip in her urine stream.

However, with the digital type, the holder is supplied for insertion of this into and is done generally both before and after the tests.

You need to wait till the words disappear in the display window when you want to test again after the first test. However, it may take an hour for the words to disappear.

Many times, you think that if you spend more money, the final product will be a better one in terms of quality. Yes. Many times, this is proved by means of the beautiful packages and the product reflects a name brand. However, the contents are the same. In such occasions, you may ask ‘What about the home based pregnancy tests?’ Whether the cheap pregnancy test is really reliable as the case with the costly one?

Brand name and value

You need to understand the differences between the name brand and the store brand with regard to the home pregnancy test. Dollars are involved in this. However, once you understand the valuable contents of home pregnancy test kit, then a lot of money can be saved.

It is the ability of the cheap pregnancy test kit in the detection of the pregnancy hormone which is more important in this regard. Yeah. The less cosly one works the same manner, as the costly one.

Pregnancy hormone is otherwise called as hCG and this nick name indicates the hormone produced by the placenta. During pregnancy, this is found in urine and blood and when the test kit detects this, the result becomes positive.

The hCG is estimated in international units by the thousands.Different levels of this hormone is are detected by the home based pregnancy kits. The hormone levels between 25 and 100 mIU are detected by most of the pregnancy tests. However, if your want to test the level of pregnancy level of hCG even at level of 12.5 mIU in home, then you need to go for purchase of First Response only.

The Wal-Mart’s store brand called Equate detects 25 mIU of pregnancy hormone but the home pregnancy test EPT identifies the level of 40 mIU. Though the Equate is a generic brand, this cheap pregnancy test kit detects a lower level of pregnancy hormone.

But, the name brand like EPT is costly but still doing a fine job. The one like Equate with a purple lid also is considered as a home pregnancy test and can find hCG at level of 100 mIU. Hence, take more care in selection of the test.

Matters to be souoght

It is discouraging that the manufacturer don’t want to contain this message on the box and hence, there is no way to tell you before your purchase of the product, even when you go for 800 number on the box.

Online information is easy to approach for any one to find on which home pregnancy test identifies hCG and at which level. In the present case, it is revealed that though it can be a cheap pregnancy test, it is a better one than the brand one. So, never assume that since it is costly, it may reveal sooner. I hope you got the message, now.
