The First Response range of pregnancy tests is examined in greater detail below:

First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test

The First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test is a revolutionary product that enables you to tell if you’re pregnant before you’ve even missed a period. The Early Result pregnancy test can be used as early as six days before your period is due; the test is 62% accurate six days before your period, 87% accurate four days before and 99% accurate 2 days before your period is due.

The Early Result pregnancy test works by detecting the pregnancy hormone HCG in the urine; this test is very sensitive so it can detect even low levels of the hormone, meaning results can be produced earlier than many home pregnancy tests.

The early Result test is easy to use and only requires you to urinate for a few seconds; the results appear quickly, after just three minutes. The results are easy to interpret; if there is one pink line, you are not pregnant and if there are two pink lines, you are pregnant. If you get a positive result, it is very likely that you are pregnant; however, negative results are less reliable and you are advised to do another test. Negative results can be produced if the concentration of HCG is very low; it is best to do a test a few days later when the levels of HCG are higher.

First Response Daily Ovulation Tests

The First Response Daily Ovulation Test has been specially developed for women who are trying to conceive a baby and are having troubles. The tests detect the level of LH in the urine; LH (luteinizing hormone) is constantly in attendance in the urine but levels rise slightly prior to ovulation; during this window of time, fertility is at its peak and conception is more likely.

The Daily Ovulation test is over 99% accurate in predicting peak fertility time. This test enables couples to maximise their chances of conceiving by knowing when ovulation is about to occur. The test should be taken at a similar time each day to ensure results are accurate and should begin the day after your period finishes. Try to avoid drinking lots of fluid before you do the test, as this may affect the result.

The Daily Ovulation tests are stored in re-sealable pouches; it is imperative to reseal the pouch immediately after you have taken the test you are using out. Once you have taken the test out, read the instructions carefully, do the test and then wait five minutes for the results. The instructions will explain what to look out for; if the result line is darker than the reference line, your levels of LH are higher than usual, meaning you are due to ovulate.

First Response Easy Read Ovulation test

The First Choice Easy Read Ovulation test has been specially designed to help women discover when they are due to ovulate so that they can increase their chances of conceiving a baby. Ovulation occurs mid cycle and fertility is maximised for a period of two or three days; if you are having problems conceiving it could be down to the fact that you’re not having sex during this window.

The Easy Read Ovulation test works in the same way as the Daily Ovulation tests; the test measures the levels of LH in the urine. The test is simple and produces results quickly; if two purple lines appear, your levels of LH are higher than usual, indicating you are due to ovulate. During this time, you are more likely to conceive.

The Easy Read Ovulation test should be used eleven days following the start of your period; the first day should be counted as day one. The test is easy to use; simply hold it under the stream of urine for a few seconds and then wait for the results; it is important that you read the instructions carefully before you do the test.
