Winx Health (formerly known as Stix) early pregnancy tests can detect hCG at 20mIU/hCG, or about 7 to 10 days after ovulation. For the best results though, we do recommend taking the test at least 6 days before your missed period or 19 days after you had sex.

Your levels of hCG increase every single day so the longer you wait to test, the stronger the results will be. If you were recently pregnant or are taking a drug that contains hCG (such as Pregnyl, Profasi, Pergonal, APL) you can get a false positive result. Alcohol, birth control pills, antibiotics, and painkillers will not affect results.

In general, read the instructions of any drugs you are taking. Some medical conditions, like ovarian cysts, can cause false positives.

When you get pregnant, your body starts to produce a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Winx Health pregnancy tests detect hCG in your urine, determining if you are pregnant or not pregnant. Two lines on the pregnancy test means your urine tested positive for hCG and you are pregnant. Just one line means your urine tested negative for hCG and you are not pregnant.

Six days before your missed period. Winx Health pregnancy tests are over 99% accurate and made with early detection technology, meaning they can detect pregnancy as early as six days before your missed period. However, for the most accurate results, take it on the first day of your missed period. If you have irregular periods or don't know when your period will be, test 19 days after sex or insemination for best results. Finally, we recommend testing first thing in the morning, before drinking any water, as that is when your urine is most concentrated.
