* Most brand pregnancy tests provide information similar to the following when
indicating that the test is 99% accurate if used on the day of expected period or
later: "99% accurate at detecting the pregnancy hormone. However, some pregnant
women may not have detectable amounts of pregnancy hormone in their urine on the
first day of the missed period or may have miscalculated the first day of their period."
All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Always refer to the information sheet that comes with your pregnancy test for
complete and current usage instructions and product options. Also, your test instructions will likely
include information about error conditions; for example, when a line does not appear in the control window.

POAS (on a stick) - the pregnancy test is held in urine stream, typically for
5, or more, seconds (check your instructions - each test varies slightly).
PIAC (in a cup) - First, urine sample is collected in clean container; Then test's tip is dipped
into it, for several seconds, per test's instructions (each test varies slightly).
Most of today's top brand home pregnancy tests are extremely convenient and
can be used either as POAS or PIAC.
