Test Instructions
How to Use BFP Pregnancy Test
TM
1. Open the sealed pouch, remove the BFP test stick, and
remove the protective cap. Perform the test immediately after
opening the pouch.
PREGNANCY TEST FOR TRYING-TO-CONCEIVE WOMEN
This test kit contains everything you need to simply and reliably find out whether you are pregnant
or not. When you’re pregnant, your body makes a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG), which can be detected in urine. The BFP (Big Fat Positive) Pregnancy Test detects the
presence of hCG in urine. A positive result indicates that the urine contains hCG and you can
assume you are pregnant. A negative result indicates that no hCG was detected in the urine and
you can assume you are not pregnant.
STORAGE:
Store at 36-86°F (2-30°C) in the sealed pouch, away from direct sunlight. Do not use after the
expiration date stamped on the package.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Read all the information in this pamphlet before performing the test. First, make sure you are
familiar with the test kit contents shown below.

2. Turn the test stick so that the reading window is facing away
from you, with the absorbent tip down, and hold the absorbent
tip in your urine stream for 5-10 seconds. Keep the absorbent
tip pointing down as you urinate on the tip and for 2-3 seconds
afterwards, so that any excess urine can drip off of the
absorbent tip. We recommend that you use a watch or clock to
time 10 seconds.
3. Keeping the absorbent tip pointing down, replace the
protective cap and then lay the stick on a flat surface with the
reading window facing up.
4. Read the result after 1 minute, but within 3 minutes. While you
wait, you will see a pink color moving up the reading window. A
pinkish-purple line will form in the Control (round) Window to tell
you the test is working correctly.
ALTERNATE PROCEDURE
1. Collect urine into a clean cup. Open the pouch and remove
the test as above. Dip at least two-thirds of the absorbent tip
of the stick into the urine, for at least 20 seconds. Keep the
absorbent tip pointing down for 2-3 seconds afterwards, so that any excess urine can drip off of
the absorbent tip. We recommend you use a watch or clock to time 20 seconds.
2. Keeping the absorbent tip pointing down, replace the protective cap and then lay the stick on
a flat surface with the reading window facing up.

POSITIVE: Two lines, one pinkish-purple line in each of the
reading windows, means you are probably pregnant. Even if
one line is very light, you can assume you are pregnant. Read
positive results at one minute.
NEGATIVE: One line in the Control window and no pinkishpurple line in the Test window means you are probably not
pregnant. Negative results take at least 3 minutes to confirm.

How To Interpret Your Results
A positive test result means your urine contains hCG, a hormone your body makes during
pregnancy. You can assume you are pregnant, and should consult your doctor immediately. A
negative result means that hCG has not been detected and you probably are not pregnant or
hCG is below the detectable level. You may want to repeat the BFP test if a week passes and
you still have not started menstruating. If the result from this later test is still negative, you are
probably not pregnant, but you should see your physician because there could be health-related
reasons why you are not menstruating.
Test Limitations
The BFP Pregnancy Test is not reusable. The test instructions must be followed precisely.
Medications containing the pregnancy hormone hCG may affect the test; therefore, do not
use this test while you are taking such medications. Most pain relievers, antibiotics and other
common drugs were found not to affect the test results. The BFP Pregnancy Test is highly
accurate in detecting pregnancy. In rare instances, however, false results (positive when no
pregnancy exists or negative when pregnancy is present) may be observed. You should check
with your doctor if you get inconsistent results. Certain health conditions such as an ectopic
pregnancy or a cyst in the ovary can cause false results.
Some Common Questions & Answers
Q: When can I do the test?
A: As early as the first day you miss a period. If you have an irregular menstrual cycle, you should
use the longest cycle as reference. If the test is negative and your period does not begin within a
week, you may have miscalculated your cycle and should use a new BFP test. First morning urine
contains the highest levels of hCG, but the BFP test is sensitive enough to detect hCG in your
urine any time of day.
Q: May I read the test results after 3 minutes?
A: DO NOT read the test result after 3 minutes. The result you see after 3 minutes may be
inaccurate.
Q: There are two lines, but one of the lines is very light. Is the test working properly?
A: Yes. As long as both lines appear within the reading time, the result is positive. Both lines need
not be the same shade or intensity. One line may be darker or lighter than the other.
Q: My test result is negative, but I feel like I am pregnant. Is the test working correctly?
A: You may have tested too early to detect hCG. You can test again in 5 days with a new BFP test
kit or consult your doctor.
Q: I am not sure of my test result. What should I do?
A: If there is only a pinkish tint in the Control (round) window, but no distinct pinkish-purple line
within 3 minutes, the test is invalid and should be repeated. Applying too little or too
much urine can cause an invalid result. If you are still unsure of your test result, you should repeat
the BFP test in a week with a new test kit.
Q: Can alcohol or medications affect the test?
A: Drinking alcohol will not affect the test (but it is not healthy for your baby if you become
pregnant). Medications containing hCG can affect the test result. Other hormone medications,
pain relievers, antibiotics, or the contraceptive pill should not affect the test.
Q: How accurate is the test?
A: The accuracy of BFP was demonstrated in a laboratory study in which technicians obtained
the correct expected result on a total of 247 (99+%) of 247 blind clinical samples.
