Qualitative tests measure whether hCG is present in your blood or urine. They pretty much give a yes or noanswer as to whether you’re pregnant—or, more accurately, whether you have enough pregnancy hormone to get a positive result. Home pregnancy tests are qualitative.

The first appointment is a chance to tell your midwife if you need help or are worried about anything that might affect your pregnancy. This could include domestic abuse or violence, sexual abuse, or female genital mutilation (FGM).A positive pregnancy test is almost always correct. Some negative tests may not be correct. A 'false negative' means your test is showing negative, but you are pregnant.

Remember that finding out a few days early is not going to affect whether you actually are pregnant, nor will it affect the outcome of your pregnancy. The Clearblue Digital Ultra Early Pregnancy Test can be used up to 6 days before your missed period. 1 When it comes to taking a pregnancy test, all Clearblue tests are over 99% accurate at detecting pregnancy from the day you expect your period 4. Some tests can also be used as early as 6 days before your expected period. Some pregnancy tests have a low threshold, but others might not indicate a positive result until your levels are over 75 mIU/ml. Those tests wouldn’t be ideal for early detection, but they should work for taking a test when you miss your period. How Early Can I Take a Pregnancy Test? Clearblue Ultra Early is our most sensitive test meaning you can test up to 6 days before your missed period (which is 5 days before your expected period).After the egg is fertilized, it travels to the uterus (womb) and begins to implant in the uterine wall. If implantation is successful, tiny amounts of the pregnancy hormone, hCG, can start to appear in your urine from around 7 – 9 days after ovulation. It is this hormone that all home pregnancy tests detect. Some early pregnancy tests, such as the Clearblue Early Detection Pregnancy Test, can tell you whether you are pregnant as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before you expect your period) 1.
