How do I Determine a Positive Pregnancy Test From Digital Clear Blue?

The Clearblue Easy Digital pregnancy test is easy to read.

The Clearblue Easy Company manufactures pregnancy tests that can be purchased at most grocery stores, drugstores or pharmacies. Pregnancy tests measure the amount of a hormone that the body produces when pregnant, called chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The body begins to produce hCG once conception has occurred and the levels of hCG doubles every few days, reaching a peak amount approximately three months into pregnancy. The Clearblue Easy Digital Pregnancy Test measures the amount of hCG in the body to tell if a woman is pregnant or not.

Instructions

1. Hold the absorbent tip of the test into your urine stream for five seconds. Replace the cap on the test and set the test down on a stable surface.

2. Wait three minutes for the test to process. A small hourglass signal will appear on the test display to indicate that the test is working.

3. Read the results. The test display will read "Pregnant" if you are pregnant or "Not Pregnant" if you are not pregnant.

Tips & Warnings

• The best time to test for pregnancy is around the time when the menstrual cycle is expected, as the hCG hormone may be too low to detect by pregnancy tests before that time, resulting in a false negative.
