How to Read e.p.t Pregnancy Test

Wait 2 minutes to read the result. Be sure to read the result before 10 minutes have passed.

A blue line will appear in the square window as a control to show that the test has worked. If no blue line appears in the square window within 10 minutes, the test has not worked.

A (+) sign in the round window indicates a 'pregnant' result. The lines that make up the sign can be different shades of blue and need not match the color of the illustrations. Please see your doctor to discuss.

If you tested not pregnant but your period is overdue, you may or may not be pregnant; the level of pregnancy hormone in your urine may not yet be high enough to be detected; or you may have miscalculated the day your period is due. If you tested early, test again when your period is due. If your period is overdue, test again in 3 days time. If this test gives you a (-) sign ('not pregnant' result) and you still have not had your period, you should see your doctor.
