From the earliest moments of conception, your body is already starting to undergo monumental changes. One of the very first is production of the pregnancy hormone, hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), which can be detected in your blood and in your urine.

The amount of hCG in your body increases rapidly. It doubles every 36 to 48 hours as your pregnancy progresses, reaching its peak at eight to ten weeks. Pregnancy tests work by detecting hCG levels in your urine. When a woman's urine comes in contact with the specially treated strip on a pregnancy test stick, results appear within minutes, indicating whether or not hCG, the pregnancy hormone, has been detected.

Some at-home pregnancy tests are unable to detect hCG in urine sooner than the first day of a expected period. FIRST RESPONSE™ i tells you 6 days before your missed period (5 days before your expected period)1. No other brand tells you sooner. 1 Try the FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test. And, for easy-to-read, unmistakable "YES+ / NO-" results in words, also try the FIRST RESPONSE™ Digital Pregnancy Test.

Pregnancy is truly a life-changing event. Knowing if you are pregnant earlier allows you to make important decisions, such as adopting healthier lifestyle choices. You can begin taking better care of yourself and your baby sooner, in the first critical stages of your baby's development.

1In one study, in 68% of the samples tested, pregnancy could be detected up to 5 days before the day of the expected period.

How sensitive are FIRST RESPONSE digital pregnancy tests?

Results: Using a mixture of hCG, hyperglycosylated hCG and free β-subunit typical for early pregnancy, the sensitivity of the First Response manual and digital tests was 5.5 mIU/mL, while the sensitivities of the EPT and ClearBlue brand manual and digital tests was 22 mIU/mL.

Is FIRST RESPONSE Digital more sensitive?

After additional research and testing, we continue to recommend First Response Early Result, which remains the most sensitive home pregnancy test of its kind. We still think Clearblue Digital is the best choice if you prefer a digital wand test.

Do digital pregnancy tests require more hCG?

Generally, most dye tests detect hCG in urine at levels between 25 mIU/mL and 50 mIU/mL. Digital tests, on the other hand, are less sensitive and may require more hCG — which is why you should wait until you've actually missed your period to try this type of test.
