When you become pregnant, your body produces the pregnancy hormone, human Chorionic Gonadotrophin(hCG). The amount of hCG in your body doubles approximately every 2 – 3 days, and reaches a maximum at around 7 – 12 weeks into the pregnancy. It stays at a higher than normal level for the rest of the pregnancy, and for up to 3 weeks after giving birth. The level of hCG can be elevated above normal levels for up to 9 weeks if you have had a miscarriage or a termination.

The Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test works by detecting the pregnancy hormone in your urine and is over 99% accurate when used from the day your period is due¹. You can use it up to 4 days before your expected period² but if you get a ‘Not Pregnant’ result, you should test again when your period is due. The levels of pregnancy hormone in your urine may not be high enough to be detected yet.

With a Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test, an optical reader encased in the Test Stick interprets the result for you and shows your result in words: ‘Pregnant’ or ‘Not Pregnant’.



The Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test is quick and easy to use, and produces a result within 3 minutes.

Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test is over 99% accurate when used from the day of your expected period¹.

Please note, these are abbreviated instructions. Always read the in-pack leaflet before carrying out a test.

When you are ready to take your Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test, simply remove the one-piece Test Stick from its individual foil wrapper and take off the cap. With the tip pointing downwards, hold the Absorbent Sampler in your urine stream for 5 seconds. Alternatively, you can collect a sample of your urine in a clean, dry container and immerse the Absorbent Sampler in the urine for 20 seconds only.

When the urine sample is applied to the Absorbent Sampler it is detected by the test. A flashing ‘Wait’ symbol (egg timer) is shown on the Display demonstrating that the test is working correctly. Within 3 minutes the symbol stops flashing and the result will appear.

The Display will show a ‘Pregnant’ or ‘Not Pregnant’ result. This result will continue to be shown on the Display for approximately 24 hours.


If you’re testing from the day your period is due, you can test at any time of day. If testing before your period is due, you should use the first urine of the day. You should avoid drinking excessive amounts of fluids before testing.

Clearblue® Easy recommends that you test from the day your period is due. However, Clearblue® Easy Digital Pregnancy Test can be used can be used as early as 4 days before your expected period. If you test before your period is due and get a ‘Not Pregnant’ result, there is still a chance that you may be pregnant but that your hormone level is still not high enough for the test to detect.

If you have a ‘pregnant’ result, it is possible that you later find that you are not pregnant due to natural loss which can occur in the early stages.

If you have had a termination or a miscarriage within the last 9 weeks, the levels of hCG in your body could give you a false ‘Pregnant’ result. If you have taken fertility medications that contain hCG within the last 14 days, those can also give you a false ‘Pregnant’ result.

If you are taking any medication, it’s advisable to check the instructions or discuss it with your doctor. If your result was ‘Pregnant’ and you have any bleeding, we recommend going to see your doctor.
