modern fertility pregnancy test

Home pregnancy tests use urine to detect the pregnancy hormone hCG.

Common formats include color indicator lines, plus/minus symbols, and clear digital word results such as "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant."

A common reported sensitivity for over-the-counter pregnancy tests is 25 mIU/mL.

Multiple products state they are over 99% accurate at detecting pregnancy from the day you expect your period.

Strip tests are compact and meant to be dipped into urine. Stick or midstream tests have an absorbent tip and a longer handle for direct sampling and sometimes include features to help prevent overflow during sampling.

Recommended sampling times vary but generally fall in the ~3–10 second range: for example, 3–5 seconds for strips, about 5 seconds holding an absorbent tip, and roughly 5–10 seconds for some dip tests.

Some kits reference companion fertility-tracking apps that let you upload or log results, visualize ovulation/LH progression, and monitor cycles for easier tracking.
