How do pregnancy tests work? continued...
There is no agreement on a particular level of ßHCG representing pregnancy, as there is variation between women and foetuses, and even differences between pregnancies of single and multiple foetuses. Effectively, though, if a premenopausal woman tests for more than 5 it can be assumed that implantation has occurred. Pregnancy tests that use a urine sample are all based on detecting higher levels of ßHCG. Different tests have different sensitivities, often varying between 15 and 25 mUI/mL, and thus can be more or less effective very early in the pregnancy. Most tests in Australia have sensitivity greater than 20mIU/mL. Tests available from www.downunderptopk.biz
test for 20mIU/mL of ßHCG and thus can be used as early as
6 days after ovulation, which is before the woman even expects to
have a period. A result can be seen as soon as 40 seconds later,
but clearer results require 5 minutes. This Australian site sells
the tests for only $2 each, compared to $10.39 for 2 tests at Coles
and $6.28 for one test at Safeway.
