Home pregnancy kits work by testing for the hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). HCG is secreted by the fertilized egg when it implants in the lining of the uterus.
When can I test with Aimstick tests?
Because of their high sensitivity factor in detecting human hCG, both the AimStick™ PBD test strip ( 20 mIU/ml hCG ) and AimStep™ Midstream ( 25 mIU/ml hCG ) can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation. To help lower the chances of a false negative, the best time to test at 9 or 10 days past ovulation would be advisable.
In a study by AJ Wilcox it was shown that HCG hormone starts being produced when the fertilized egg implants into the uterine lining. A common misconception is that implantion occurs 7 days after conception, but the findings showed that first appearance of HCG (implantation) occurred 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation. It is based on this information that we suggest that, while implantation at an earlier time ( 6 - 8 days dpo ) is possible, the majority of women will have a greater chance of a positive reading at 9 or 10 days past ovulation.

High sensitivity and low cost! What else could you want and need?
Both formats, strip and midstream, come individually foil sealed to insure test integrity and shelf life.
How do the AimStick tests compare to other pregnancy tests found in other internet stores?
If you "window shop" on the internet, you will find other web sites which sell test strips like we do. These tests may cost less, but based on the reviews found on some internet "trying to conceive" communities, there were cases where the results were not accurate for the tester.
Aimstick pregnancy tests have consistently gotten good reviews from our customers and are considerably less expensive than the tests you buy in a drug store and have the accuracy and reliability you want. If you are window shopping, look for the Aimstick name and be assured you are buying a reliable quality product which will give you accurate results earlier than other brands.
