How does Clearblue PLUS Pregnancy Test with Colour Change Tip work?

When you are pregnant your body produces the pregnancy hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). The amount of hCG in your body increases in the early stages of pregnancy. Clearblue can detect tiny amounts of this hormone in your urine. (The sensitivity of this Pregnancy Test is 25mIU/ml).

I previously tested ‘Pregnant’ but have tested again and got a ‘Not Pregnant’ result, or my period has started. What does this mean?

Whilst the test is over 99% accurate at detecting the pregnancy hormone from the day the period is due, it’s possible to get a pregnant result and find out later that you’re not pregnant (i.e., you may later get a not pregnant result, or your period may start). This may be due to natural loss during the early stages of pregnancy, known as ‘early pregnancy loss’, which sadly is not uncommon, as around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in early pregnancy loss. If you do get unexpected results, ask your doctor for advice.

I have used the Pregnancy Test but the Colour Change Tip has not turned completely pink. What should I do?

If the Colour Change Tip has not turned completely pink you may not have applied enough urine. However, if the blue line in the Control Window appears within 10 minutes of performing the test then the test has worked. If no blue line appears in the Control Window within 10 minutes of performing the test, refer to question 7.

I have used the Clearblue PLUS Pregnancy Test with Colour Change Tip but no blue line has appeared in the Control Window. What should I do?

If there is no blue line in the Control Window within 10 minutes of performing the test, then the test has not worked. This may be because:

  • The Colour Change Tip was not kept pointing downwards or the pregnancy test stick was not laid flat after urine was applied.
  • Too much or too little urine was used. You must sample for 5 seconds. You should test again, using a new pregnancy test, taking care to follow the instructions. You may wish to collect a sample of your urine in a clean, dry container and immerse just the Colour Change Tip for 5 seconds only.
 

What if I am unsure of my result?

For your result to be ‘Pregnant’ there must be a blue line in the Control Window and a ‘+’ symbol in the Result Window within 10 minutes of performing the test. The appearance of the ‘+’ symbol in the Result Window may vary, however, the lines that make up the ‘+’ symbol and the line in the Control Window should be of a similar width (see pictures A-C).

Pregnant resultThis is more likely to occur when you are pregnant and you are testing more than a few days after your period is due as hCG levels are higher.

 

Pregnancy resultThis is not unusual when you are pregnant and you are testing on or around the day your period is due as hCG levels are still relatively low.

 

Pregnancy test resultThis is still a ‘Pregnant’ result. If you are still unsure of your result, you should wait at least 3 days before testing again, taking care to follow instructions.

 

For your result to be ‘Not Pregnant’ there must be a blue line in the Control Window and a ‘-‘ symbol in the Result Window within 10 minutes of performing the test. If your result is ‘Not Pregnant’ and pregnancy is still suspected, refer to question 11.

How long will the result last?

The result can be read any time up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes any change in your result should be disregarded.

My Clearblue PLUS Pregnancy Test with Colour Change Tip says I’m not pregnant. What should I do?

  • If your period is overdue, test again in 3 days time. If this test gives you a 'Not Pregnant' result and you still have not had your period, see your doctor.
