You can take an elvoa pregnancy test at any time of day. However, first-morning urine is recommended, particularly when testing early, as it typically contains the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone hCG.

Elvoa is designed to detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before your missed period, although results become more reliable as you approach your expected period.*

Your result should be read at 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes, as changes appearing after this time may be misleading.

For the most accurate results, always follow the instructions included with your test.

Using your elvoa pregnancy test is simple:

• Remove the test from its sealed packaging when you’re ready to use it.
• If you’re using a midstream test, remove the cap to expose the absorbent tip.
• Hold the absorbent tip in your urine stream, or immerse at least two-thirds of the tip or strip in a clean container of urine, for at least 15 seconds.
• Replace the cap and place the test or strip on a clean, flat surface.
• Read your result at 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

Always read the instructions included in your pack before testing.

Yes. Elvoa pregnancy tests are designed to detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before your missed period.*

However, testing very early may produce a negative result even if you are pregnant, as your hCG levels may not yet be high enough to detect.

For the most reliable results, we recommend testing from the day your period is due. If you test early and receive a negative result, consider testing again after 48 hours using first-morning urine.

A faint second line in the test region (T), alongside a line in the control region (C), can indicate a positive pregnancy result, provided it appears within the recommended reading time.

The lines do not need to be equally dark. If you’re unsure, repeat the test after 48 hours using first-morning urine or speak to a healthcare professional.

If one coloured line appears in the control region (C) and no line appears in the test region (T), this indicates a negative result.

If you’ve tested early, your hCG levels may not yet be high enough to detect. If your period doesn’t arrive, consider testing again after 48 hours.

If you continue to receive negative results and your period does not arrive, speak to a healthcare professional.

No. Your elvoa pregnancy test should be read at 3 minutes, and results should not be interpreted after 10 minutes.

Any changes appearing after the recommended reading window should not be relied upon.

If no coloured line appears in the control region (C), the test is invalid, even if a line appears in the test region (T).

This means the test has not worked correctly. Please repeat the test using a new elvoa pregnancy test, carefully following the instructions provided.

Elvoa pregnancy tests are designed to detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before your missed period, giving you the opportunity to find out sooner.*

Our tests detect the pregnancy hormone hCG in urine, which increases as pregnancy progresses.

Because hCG levels are lower in the earliest stages of pregnancy, the likelihood of receiving a positive result increases the closer you get to your expected period.

For the most reliable result, we recommend testing from the day your period is due.

*Elvoa is designed to give you the opportunity to test early, with the likelihood of detecting pregnancy increasing as you approach your expected period.

Early-detection testing data provided for review shows the following positive-result rates in samples from pregnant women:

• 5 days before expected period: 76% of pregnancies detected
• 4 days before: 96%
• 3 days before: >99%
• 2 days before: >99%
• 1 day before: >99%

Although elvoa is designed to detect pregnancy early, a negative result before your expected period does not necessarily mean you are not pregnant.

If you receive a negative result but still suspect pregnancy, we recommend testing again after 48 hours using first-morning urine.

Early-detection percentages represent the proportion of samples from pregnant women that produced a positive result at each testing point. Individual results may vary.

The pregnancy test used by elvoa has demonstrated over 99% overall accuracy in a clinical evaluation when compared with another commercially available urine pregnancy test.*

For the most reliable results, always follow the instructions carefully.

When testing early, the likelihood of detecting pregnancy depends on how many days remain before your expected period. Please see our early-detection statistics above for more information.

Elvoa pregnancy tests are designed to detect the pregnancy hormone hCG at concentrations of 10 mIU/mL or higher.

This sensitivity helps detect pregnancy in its early stages, although testing too early may produce a negative result.

During early pregnancy, your body begins producing a hormone called hCG. Levels of this hormone typically increase as pregnancy progresses.

If you test several days before your expected period, your hCG levels may still be too low for the test to detect, even if you are pregnant.

This is why an early negative result doesn’t necessarily rule out pregnancy. If your period hasn’t arrived, we recommend repeating the test after 48 hours using first-morning urine.

Most common medications, including contraceptive pills, antibiotics and painkillers, should not affect your pregnancy test result.

However, fertility medications containing hCG may produce a false positive result. Certain medical conditions may also affect results.

If you’re taking medication or have concerns about your result, please speak to a healthcare professional.

We know that taking a pregnancy test can bring a mixture of emotions and questions.

That’s why every elvoa pack includes at least three individually packaged tests, or as many as 10 economical strips, giving you the flexibility to test when you’re ready and repeat testing if needed.
