The Early Detection Pregnancy Test is easy to use and easy to read. Simply hold the absorbent tip in your urine stream for 5 seconds. Lay the test on a flat surface while it develops, and your results will be confirmed in under 5 minutes. The Early Detection Pregnancy Test can be used as early as 6 days before your missed period, (5 days before day of expected period). The amount of pregnancy hormones increases rapidly in early pregnancy.
