Sempre que fazia um teste questionava-me se estaria a fazer tudo bem. Estou a molhar o pauzinho pouco tempo? Ou será tempo demais? Depois de três testes fui pesquisar as instruções:

1. To begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. Remove the test from the pouch. Note: First morning urine usually contains the highest concentration of hCG and is therefore the best sample when performing the urine test. However, randomly collected urine specimens may be used. (okkk, até aqui nunca houve dúvidas!)

2. Holding the strip vertically, carefully dip it into the specimen (you may collect your urine in a clean, dry container). Immerse the strip into the urine sample with the arrow end pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX Line (Marker Line). Take the strip out after 3 to 4 seconds and lay the strip flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface. (ahaaaaaaaaa finalmente o tempo certo!)

3. Wait for colored bands to appear. Depending on the concentration of hCG in the test specimen, positive results may be observed in as little as 60 seconds. However, to confirm negative results, the complete reaction time of 5 minutes is required. Interpret the test results at 5 minutes. Do not read results after 5 minutes.
