When should you use the Clearblue Advanced Ultra Early Pregnancy Test?
Clearblue Advanced Ultra Early Pregnancy Test is a urine test designed for women who want to know if they are pregnant, even several days before their expected period. It detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, a hormone produced early in pregnancy.
With a sensitivity of 10 mIU/mL, this test can be used up to 6 days before a missed period, or 5 days before the expected start of your period. At this early stage, it can detect 77% of “Pregnant” results. However, since hCG levels can vary from woman to woman, a negative result obtained very early on does not completely rule out pregnancy.
Starting on your expected period date, the test is over 99% accurate in detecting pregnancy. If you’re tracking your cycle as part of a plan to conceive, check out our ovulation tests to identify your fertile window. If you’re using this pregnancy test before your expected period, use your first morning urine, as the hormone is generally more concentrated in it. Also, avoid drinking excessive amounts of fluid before collecting the sample so as not to dilute it.
DualSense technology detects two hormones and provides an extra level of verification. It helps reduce the risk of false positives in the very small number of non-pregnant women who may have low concentrations of hCG in their urine.
Its extra-wide absorbent tip makes sample collection easier. Floodguard™ technology helps ensure the test is performed correctly by minimizing user errors caused by an excessive amount of urine.
If the result shows “Pregnant,” consult a doctor or midwife to arrange for follow-up care. If you get a negative result before your expected period, repeat the test once your period is due. You can also explore our products designed to support your journey to conceive.
How do I use the Clearblue Advanced Ultra-Early Pregnancy Test?
Read the instructions carefully before beginning. If you’re taking the test before your expected period, use your first morning urine, as the pregnancy hormone is generally more concentrated in it. Starting on the expected date of your period, the test can be taken at any time of day.
Avoid drinking excessive amounts of anything—including water—before collecting your urine sample. Urine that is too diluted may contain a concentration of hormones that is harder to detect.
When you’re ready, remove the test stick from its protective pouch, take off the blue cap, and use it immediately.
Hold the absorbent end facing down. Place it under the urine stream for 5 seconds or dip it for 20 seconds into a urine sample collected in a clean, dry container. Be careful not to get the plastic casing wet.
Then replace the cap and place the test stick on a flat surface. Never hold the test with the absorbent end pointing upward during the test.
Wait a full5 minutes before reading the result. Two lines indicate a “Pregnant” result, regardless of their intensity. A single line indicates a “Not Pregnant” result. A red line must appear in the control window to confirm that the test worked properly.
Read the result within 10 minutes of taking the test. After this time, the result may no longer be reliable.

Our expert advice on Clearblue for early testing
If you don’t know the exact date of your expected period, use the typical length of your cycles to determine the right time. For an early test, use your first morning urine and avoid drinking large amounts of fluid right before the test. If the result is negative, do not repeat the test multiple times on the same day: wait until your expected period date, then take another test. If the result remains negative despite a missed period or if you have any doubts, consult your doctor.
