Thanks for asking your question about Prega News Kit. Let me break the answer for you.
Prega News is a home pregnancy test kit developed by Mankind Pharmaceuticals used to confirm pregnancy from home.
How does Prega News work?
It works by detecting the pregnancy hormone called hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin), which could be present in urine or blood of pregnant women. It can detect up to 20 MIU/ml. Lower the value, higher the sensitivity of a pregnancy test. However, please note that a pregnancy can also happen at 5 MIU/ml as well.
How to use Prega News?
You need to use the dropper provided in the kit to collect urine. Pour 3 drops of urine on the test card and wait for 5 minutes. It is recommended to use the first urine of the day because it gives better results.
How soon can you take a pregnancy test?
The timing of pregnancy test depends on the sensitivity of hCG by a test. Generally, a pregnancy test can give 95% accurate result 7 days after missing a period. But if you have PCOS or irregular periods, the result might not be accurate. It is suggested to go for a more conclusive test such as BetaHCG to be sure. Please make sure to check the expiry of a pregnancy test.
What is the accuracy of Prega News?
The overall accuracy of Prega News is around 95-98%. You can do BetaHCG if you want to be sure. Please note that the accuracy increases if the first urine is used.
