Q. I have received a negative result (not pregnant) now what? A. If only the control line has appeared in the result window then no pregnancy hormone has been detected in your urine and you are probably not pregnant and your period should begin within the next few days. If it does not, then you should perform another Early Bird Swift pregnancy test as it is possible you may have miscalculated the length of your cycle, or perhaps your urine did not contain sufficient hCG at the time to give you a positive result. If you retest and no hCG is detected, yet your period does not start within a few days, you should make an appointment to see your doctor. Q. I have received a positive result (pregnant) what should I do now? A. Remember, no home test is intended to replace your doctor’s diagnosis, so you should consult your doctor as soon as possible to confirm your result and receive free advice on healthcare. Q. No lines have appeared in the result window, what should I do? A. Your result should appear within 5 minutes. However, if no results have appeared within 10 minutes the test has not worked correctly. This may be because too much or too little urine has been used. You should test again using a second test, taking care to follow the instructions overleaf. Q. How long will the result last, as I want to show someone. A. You can keep the result almost indefinitely if you pull apart the test pen and allow the test strip to dry fully before storing. Q.
