Getnews is the one-step pregnancy HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test that lets you determine the exact results in just 15 minutes, with the closest precision.

About Getnews:
With the Getnews test kit, one can detect the HCG level in serum, in as early as 7 days following conception. The appearance of HCG soon after conception and its subsequent rise in its concentration during early gestational growth is an excellent marker for the early and easy detection of your pregnancy. Moreover, the best thing about the Getnews test is that you can do it all by yourself, without even going out of your home.

Don’t urinate on the test and control window.
Remove the device from the urine stream and cover the absorbent tip with the cap instantly.
Put the device on a flat surface with the test window facing up and start timing.
As the test proceeds, the light coloured liquid film starts moving across the test and control window.
Read the result in 3 minutes, Take a reading by observing the lines and interpret the results as below:
Pregnant: 2 distinct pink lines in the result window – one at C and one at T (one line may be lighter than the other. They need not match.) This mean that pregnancy test is positive. Do confirm with a doctor.
Not Pregnant: Should only one pink line appear in the control window C and there is no line in the test window T, the pregnancy is negative.
Invalid: If there is no line with distinct colour in the control window C even if a line appears in the test window T, the test result is invalid. A repeat test is recommended with a new Getnews™ Advance device.
Invalid: If there is no line in either the control or test window, the result is invalid & it is recommended you repeat the test with a new Getnews™ Advance device.
Incase of no coloured line within 3 minutes, wait for another minute. Sometimes it may take a positive results another minute or less depending on the concentration of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone produced by the body produces during pregnancy). Results are invalid after 10 minutes.
As soon as you miss your period, you can perform the test, even as early as the first day of the missed period.
Miscalculation of period days can also result in a negative test result. Repeat after a week.
For best results, use of early morning urine is best as it is usually the most concentrated with most hCG, though it can be done at any time of the day.
hCG with Infertility drug will interfere with test results resulting in false positives.
Drinking large amounts of fluids before the test can dilute the hormone levels in the urine giving inaccurate results.
As with any other diagnostic test, confirmed pregnancy diagnosis should only be made by a Registered Medical Practitioner.
Before starting any Endocrinology treatment under the supervision of a REGISTERED Medical Practitioner, confirm the pregnancy by other means.
The test is used to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in human urine.
