How accurate is the e.p.t. early pregnancy test
The e.p.t. Early Pregnancy Test is more than 99 percent accurate* in laboratory tests, when used from the first day of your expected period. If you are testing earlier than the day of your expected period, then the accuracy of e.p.t. Early Pregnancy Test will be lower.
*Over 99 percent accurate from the day of expected period at detecting the pregnancy hormone. However, some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of the pregnancy hormone in their urine on the first day of their expected period, or may have miscalculated the first day of their period.
How does e.p.t. early pregnancy test work
When you are pregnant your body produces the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin). The amount of hCG in your body increases in the early stages of pregnancy. e.p.t. Early Pregnancy Test can detect tiny amounts of this hormone in your urine.
When can I use the test to determine if I am pregnant
You can use the e.p.t. Early Pregnancy Test before you expect your period to start. If you test early and the result is a (-) sign, there is still a chance that you might be pregnant.

What if the lines in the round and square window are different shades of blue
It does not matter if one line is fainter or darker than the other. The result must be read within 10 minutes of performing the test.
I have used the test but no blue line has appeared in the square window. What should I do
If there is no blue line in the square window within 10 minutes, the test has not worked. This may be because too much or too little urine has been used; or the absorbent tip was not kept pointing downward or the test stick was not laid flat after the urine was applied.
