More Information about the Test and a Healthy Pregnancy
AccuQuik™ diagnostic test kit for pregnancy provides high quality early pregnancy detection. The pregnancy test kit detects the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), in your urine or serum.
The test can be taken on the first day of your missing period. If you test too early then the hCG level in your urine may be too low to detect and could lead to a false negative. A result will be available after 3 to 5 minutes. Some medicines, such as fertility drugs which contain hCG, tranquilizers, anti-convulsants or hypnotics, may affect the result.
The AccuQuik™ pregnancy test kit is very sensitive with the hCG detection threshold at 10mlU/ml, allowing for 99% accuracy to be guaranteed. Our pregnancy test kit provides a simple positive or negative pregnancy result. In the case of a positive result, it is advised to consult your doctor to talk about the following steps.

AccuQuik™ ovulation test kit aims to identify your fertile window by predicting ovulation in advance, allowing for you to increase your chances of becoming pregnant naturally. The ovulation test measures the ovulation hormone, lutein (LH), which typically identifies 4 fertile days per cycle. This test detects an increase in luteinizing hormone, which normally occurs one to two days before ovulation. Once the ovulation test gives a positive result, the best time to have sex is three days later, as the first two days account for the days prior to ovulation.
The test is suitable for women with regular and irregular cycles. The test will take roughly 10 minutes to produce the result. The ovulation diagnostic tests have been shown to be accurate in 99% of cases, clearly demonstrating their reliability.
Most common drugs will not affect the ovulation test, however, drugs containing human gonadotrophin or lutein may affect the results. Other factors that may create an inaccurate result include a current pregnancy, a recent pregnancy, or menopause.

A Healthy Pregnancy
To ensure a healthy pregnancy it is essential that you visit your doctor as soon as you know you are pregnant so that you can begin caring for your baby. During your first visit to the doctor, you will discuss prenatal care and you will be screened for certain conditions that could lead to complications during your pregnancy.
Diet is one of the most important things to consider. A healthy and balanced diet can be easily achieved by eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. For those affected by medical conditions or ethical beliefs, it is recommended to consult your doctor for specific dietary advice.
You must also remember that you are now eating for two, so you will need to increase your daily calorie intake by at least 300 calories. It is also important to consider the amount of healthy weight that should be gained during pregnancy. Weight gain will vary between individuals, and is partly due to the related weight of the baby and growing placenta but also includes the extra fluid required for circulation and the weight needed for the nutrition of the growing fetus.
In addition to simply eating more food, pregnant women should raise the protein content of their diet from 45g a day to 70g a day. Although it is not necessary to consume any more calcium than normal, it is extremely important that the recommended calcium daily intake is now met.
Vitamins are essential during pregnancy, in particular, folic acid and iron which will reduce the risks of neural tube birth defects like spina bifida. If possible, folic acid intake should be increased before conception. An increase in iron consumption is particularly important during the 2nd and 3rd trimester. There are also several food products that should be avoided during pregnancy such as undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy products, raw seafood, cold deli meats and certain fish with high mercury content.
Exercise is a great way to stay healthy during pregnancy, in addition to relieving stress and increasing serotonin production during pregnancy. It is also necessary for pregnant women to have the strength and endurance to carry the weight of the baby and for the physical requirements of labor.
Sexual activity can be continued as normal throughout pregnancy, although research suggests that both sexual desire and frequency decreases during pregnancy. A healthy and sustained sleeping pattern should be established during pregnancy, avoiding shift work and exposure to bright light at night during the last trimester. Having said this, rest is equally as important as exercise, especially during the 1st and 3rd trimesters when your body will show signs telling you to slow down. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, stretching, deep breathing and massages will be very beneficial.
During pregnancy you should not drink alcohol or take drugs as these substances are transported readily through the placenta and can cause serious harm to the baby, increasing the risk of miscarriage significantly. Other side effects of alcohol or drug use during pregnancy include decreased birth weight, learning problems, increased aggression, growth restriction, premature delivery, placental abruption, and other behavioral defects. Additionally, smoking can be harmful to the unborn baby, increasing the likelihood of a cleft lip.
Caffeine consumption should also be reduced to below 200mg a day as it has been shown to increase the risk of miscarriage and has no nutritive value. Ideally, caffeine should be completely removed from your diet as it is a stimulant and will make relaxing more difficult. Caffeine can also cause headaches and reduces iron absorption. Pregnant women are recommended to check the caffeine content of food products. Medication taken during pregnancy can temporarily or permanently affect the growing fetus, and it is therefore normal for doctors to refrain from prescribing drugs to pregnant women. In particular, it is the teratogenic effects of drugs that are of major concern to doctors regarding the fetus.
