Equate home pregnancy test
The Equate home pregnancy test is one of the cheapest tests currently on the market. The test works in the same way as other home pregnancy tests; it detects traces of the pregnancy hormone in the urine. The test is easy to use and results appear quickly; it is important to read the instructions on the test thoroughly before you do the test; the instructions will tell you how to do the test and which symbols to look out for in the results window.
The Equate test is most accurate when used a few days after you should have had your period; by this time, the levels of the HCG hormone should be high enough for the test to detect; if you get a positive result this is almost certainly accurate but you may wish to repeat the test if you get a negative result, as these are not always accurate (some women have higher levels of the hormone than others so women with low levels may get a negative result even if they are pregnant; it is best to wait a couple of days to repeat the test as the HCG levels will have increased by then).
