FAQ

The Yes or No early pregnancy test has always been characterized by its high degree of sensitivity. We have now even been able to improve the lowest sensitivity limit (sensitivity) of our early test from the original 25mIU / ml to 10mIU / ml. With a sensitivity of only 10mlU / ml hCG, the “Yes or No” is the early pregnancy test with the highest possible sensitivity. Even with a sensitivity of 25mIU, we were able to detect the hCG hormone, which indicates pregnancy, on the 10th day after conception. Since the hCG hormone doubles every 2-3 days, one can expect that we will be able to provide evidence about 2 days earlier, i.e. about 8 days after conception.

It should be noted that the length of the cycle varies from woman to woman and can be between 21 and even in isolated cases up to 42 days. On average, it is around 28-32 days. Ovulation normally takes place in the middle of the cycle, i.e. around day 15 after the last menstrual period if the cycle is longer. The egg cell can only be fertilized for about 12-24 hours and a fertilized egg cell then nests in the uterus after about 3-5 days. Assuming a cycle length of 32 days, the 10th day after possible conception is about 6 days before the expected period. With the increased sensitivity to 10mIU or in the case of an even longer cycle, the hCG hormone and thus pregnancy can be detected even earlier before the expected period.

Regardless of the fact that you may want to test very early, the most sensitive test on the market also gives more security and accuracy, as the length of the cylinder varies with many women. It can therefore happen that a woman does a pregnancy test several days earlier than expected. Other pregnancy tests that often only have a lowest sensitivity limit of z. B. only have 50 mIU, would thus possibly show a false-negative result.

All cycles that are 23-35 days in length are now considered normal. The cycles, which tend to be longer, occur more frequently than the shorter ones. Every 6th cycle lasts 33 days or more. And every 10th cycle lasts 24 days or less. If one looks at the cycle lengths of the individual women, it turns out that no woman has a rigid individual cycle length. In 60% of all women, the cycle length fluctuates by more than a week within a year. Of these 60%, almost every second person experiences fluctuations of more than two weeks in the course of a year. In almost 30% of all healthy women, the cycle length fluctuates, for example, between 24 and 38 days or between 28 and 42 days. Fluctuations in cycle length are therefore part of the cycle of healthy women and do not per se mean that there is a menstrual cycle disorder. These healthy fluctuations also provide an explanation for why a rigid division into fertile and infertile days does not make sense. A meaningful and appropriate division into fertile and sterile days can only be made for the individual situation of a woman.
