Interpreting the results of the Test

Negative: A single pink line is the control line is only for validating the working state of the kit. The conclusion is that the test result is negative and you are not pregnant.
Positive: Two pink lines mean the test line changes the color only when the result is positive, and you are pregnant.
No lines or lines of other colors: The result is invalid. They may be evaporation lines due to the remnants of the urine sample. The incidents of the evaporation line while using the test is sporadic. You cannot confirm anything about your pregnancy stage from this result.
Faint line: No matter how faint the line is the instruction pamphlet says that the test is positive. A faint line is also a positive test. A very faint line on the pregnancy test is the result when you take the test too early.

Most important caution while using First Response Pregnancy Test

The First Response Pregnancy Test is a very rapid test. Especially if you get the Rapid Result First Response Pregnancy Test, then you need to be very critical of the time frames.

Also, no over the counter pregnancy test can surpass a medical expert. So always get an appointment with your doctor after taking the pregnancy test.

How does Test work?

The Gold Digital and the First Response Pregnancy Test work like all home pregnancy tests.

They have an hCG strip that has hCG antibodies that can detect hCG present in your urine.
It gives a color only after the reaction between hCG antibodies and particles takes place.
The placenta releases hCG by your body once you have conceived.
And the maximum amount of hCG produces in the first three months of pregnancy, and then it reduces.
The level of hCG doubles every 48 hours. Hence the probability of detecting pregnancy increases as the days pass after missing your periods.

Accuracy

How accurate is the First Response test? Every smart woman asks this question! The reviews always boast of First Response pregnancy test accuracy.

The sensitivity of First Response PT is remarkably high because it can detect as low as 6.5 mIU/ml concentrations of hCG.
This means that the test can detect a rise of 1.5 mIU/ml rise of hCG in urine.
The normal level is 5 mIU/ml, and hCG beyond this concentration is the criterion for declaring a female pregnant.
All the products by First Response for detecting pregnancy are over 99% accurate.
