Conceive Pregnancy Test

How soon can I use the Conceive pregnancy test?

You can test as early as the first day of a missed period.

How does this test work?

When you become pregnant, your body makes a special hormone called hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The hormone will be present in your urine. The Conceive pregnancy test can detect hCG in your urine.

Is there a specific time during the day I have to perform the test?

The Conceive Pregnancy test can be performed anytime of the day.

How much urine do I add to the test cassette?

Add only 3 drops of urine to the test well.

How long do I have to wait for the results?

Wait 3 minutes before reading your result in the Result Window. Some positive results may appear as early as 1 minute.

What if there is no C line?

The C line is the control line. If you do not have a control line then the test is invalid. Save your urine and call the Toll-free Assistance line.

The T line is very pale does this mean I am not pregnant?

No, even a very faint pink-to-purple T line indicates a positive test (i.e. you are pregnant).

How accurate is this test?

In laboratory studies the Conceive Pregnancy Test had an accuracy of 99.5%.

Will the amount of liquid I drink affect the results of the test?

Although you can test any time of the day, a dilute urine sample could cause a false negative result. You may wish to use your first morning urine sample because it is usually the most concentrated of the day.

Can medication affect my test result?

Commonly used drugs will not affect the expected test results.

Why do I need to consult my doctor?

If you are pregnant, it is very important to get early advice or prenatal care. If you are taking any medications, you should talk to your doctor immediately to see if they are safe for your baby. If you are not pregnant, and your test results are still negative a week later, it is important to consult your doctor since the delay in your menstrual period could be the result of another health-related factor.

If I see a pink color cover the Result Window, vertical pink lines, or pink color under the vents is this normal?

After the urine is added, you will see a pink color liquid movement that starts from the Urine Well and gradually moves toward the top of the Result Window. You may see a few vertical streaks and some color under the vents. This is completely normal and that indicates the test is working properly.

What would cause an incorrect result?

Certain medical conditions, such as ovarian cyst or ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the uterus) and medications containing hCG can cause a false positive result. Testing too soon or drinking too much liquid can cause a false negative result. However, if you follow the directions carefully, you should be confident of getting a correct result.

If a faint pink-to-purple line appears anytime after the three minute waiting time, am I pregnant?

You must read your results within 3 minutes. Results after 3 minutes are invalid. You should re-test.

How do I know the test is working properly?

If you see a blue line in the Result Window next to letter "C", your test is working properly.

Cromolyn

Can Cromolyn be used after allergies have started?

Cromolyn nasal and ophthalmic are the only non-prescription products that can both PREVENT and RELIEVE allergy symptoms safely and effectively. Patients can be symptom-free if they begin medication at the onset of the allergy season.

How long before allergies start do you start using Cromolyn?

If you have seasonal allergies, start using Cromolyn 1 week before the allergy season.

Will Cromolyn make me drowsy?

No, Cromolyn is non-sedating.

Can I use Cromolyn with other medications?

Yes, Cromolyn is not contraindicated with other medications.

I have a hypersensitivity to pseudoephedrine, can I use Cromolyn?

Can children use Cromolyn?

Unlike other anti-allergic medications, Cromolyn can be used by children five years and older.

How long should I use Cromolyn?

It should be used continually throughout your usual allergy season, even when you feel free of symptoms. Continued use could help ensure you remain symptom-free.

Can Cromolyn ophthalmic be used with contacts?

Do not wear soft contact lenses during treatment with Cromolyn. Your contacts can become stained.

Cystistat

What is Cystistat?

Cystistat is an effective treatment for interstitial cystitis. The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found naturally in eye fluids, body joints, and on the inside layer of the bladder (GAG layer).

How does it work?

The hyaluronic acid in Cystistat temporarily restores the GAG layer of the bladder wall helping to relieve the pain, frequency, urgency and other symptoms associated with interstitial cystitis.

How is Cystistat given?

Cystistat is not a pill. Your doctor transfers Cystistat into your bladder through a process called instillation.

How long do you have to be on this medication for interstitial cystitis?

Usually one instillation per week for the first month then monthly afterwards until symptoms resolves. Six treatments are the minimum number recommended for Cystistat to reach optimum effectiveness. Response time may vary from patient to patient. Do not be discouraged if you do not notice improvement in the first few weeks. Best results are usually seen after the 5th or 6th instillation. You should probably start feeling increased relief from the 2nd or 3rd month on.

If treatment was successful is it necessary to retreat?

If significant relief is obtained the interval between treatments can be increased to 6, 8, 12 weeks on a gradual basis. As soon as any indication of symptoms appears retreat. But it is best to consult your physician.

Are there any side effects?

Studies have shown that Cystistat has few if any side effects and that it is very well tolerated. This is probably because the active ingredient found in Cystistat (hyaluronic acid) is a substance that naturally occurs in your body. Some patients may experience minor initial discomfort from the instillation, but not from Cystistat itself.

Will Cystistat cause an odor after instillation?

No. Unlike Rimso-50 (DMSO-dimethyl sulfoxide), which causes a garlic-like smell that may be present for 24 hours after instillation, Cystistat does not cause a garlic odor.

Kegel Exercices

What are Kegel exercises?

They are pelvic floor muscle exercises used for treating incontinence in both men and women of all ages. They do not involve surgery or medication, and pose little risk for side effects. Similar to other exercises, they are a series of repeated contractions of one set of muscles- the pelvic muscle.

How can the pelvic muscle help incontinence?

The pelvic muscle supports the bladder like a hammock. We can tighten, and relax these muscles. When tightened or contracted, the urethra, which is the tube that passes urine from the bladder to outside the body, is squeezed so that the urine is held in. if these muscles are strong, urine will not leak. However, if they are weak, they cannot close off the urethra, and urine may leak. Pelvic muscle exercises help to strengthen the "hammock", so that the urethra can be kept closed, to keep urine in.

How do you find the correct muscle to contract?

To find the pelvic muscle, squeeze the muscles that you would use to hold back urine or a bowel movement.

How do I know I'm performing these exercises correctly?

To perform them correctly you must remain relaxed and focused on the pelvic muscle. Breathe normally; do not hold your breath. Each contraction should be held for 5-10 seconds and each second should be counted like "one thousand and one (one second), "one thousand and two (two second) etc. After each contraction the muscle should be relaxed for about 10 seconds. One set consists of 10 exercises and one set should be performed each hour while you are awake.

How long do I have to do these exercises before I see improvement?

Improvement will be evident if the exercises have been performed regularly after 5-6 weeks and if there are no other causes contributing to urinary loss.

Once I feel improvement do I have to continue performing these exercises?

Once the muscles become strong and control is achieved it should be maintained by doing one set of 10 exercises 2 or 3 times per week.

OvuQuick

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the release of an egg from your ovary. The few days around ovulation are the most likely time to become pregnant.

What is LH?

LH stands for luteinizing hormone, which is the substance that triggers ovulation. During most of your menstrual cycle only a little is produced. However, in the middle part of your cycle the amount of LH suddenly increases for a short amount of time. This increase is called the LH surge.

How do you determine when to start testing?

First determine your usual cycle length. If you are unsure about your usual cycle length, use the shortest cycle length from your past 4 cycles. Then using the WHEN TO START CHART provided, find your usual cycle length on the left side and look across to find the number of days to count ahead from the first day of your period. This will be the day you begin testing.

Is there a preferred time between 10 am and 8 PM to collect my urine?

The recommended time to take your urine sample is between 10am and 8pm. It may be more preferable between 12pm and 3pm since the LH is found in the blood in the morning and will be excreted in the urine by midday, where it is detected.

What if the R line is very pale?

The test is still valid. The test is considered invalid only when the R line is not visible.

Today the R line is paler than the other days, is the test still valid?

Yes, the test is still valid. What is important is that you see the R line clearly.

What if the T line is very pale?

As long as the T line is paler than the R line the result is negative.

What if there is no T line?

This indicates a negative result.

What if the R and T lines were the same color?

This indicates a negative result. The R and T line are the same color but the R line is thicker.

Is this a positive result?

No, the width of the lines is not important. The intensity of the color is of important.

My T line got darker as time went on. Does the test become more positive with time?

No, the test does not become more positive with time. The results should only be read between 3 and 5 minutes. The test is no longer valid after 5 minutes.

How accurate is the test?

If performed correctly, the test is greater than 96% accurate when performed by consumers and 99% accurate in laboratory studies.

Once the test is positive when is the best time to have intercourse?

No matter how many days you have a LH surge, the first day of your LH surge, and the next day and a half, are the days you are most likely to become pregnant.

Is it possible not to detect a LH surge at all?

Yes, it is. This may be because you did not have a LH surge during this cycle, you may have tested too early or too late in your cycle or the amount of LH in your urine may have been too low to detect.

Will the amount of liquid that I drink affect the test results?

Yes, you should reduce your liquid intake for about 2 hours before you collect your urine. A dilute sample could prevent you from seeing your LH surge.

Do common drugs affect the test?

Common drugs will not affect the expected results.

Can I use this test to avoid getting pregnant?

No, it is not a contraceptive. I am now using the basal body temperature method (BBT).

Does this test replace BBT?

You should follow your doctor's instructions about the use of BBT. The BBT method is not always accurate in predicting the time of ovulation. OvuQuick detects the hormone rise that takes place before ovulation. OvuQuick helps you to better predict when you ovulate.

How important is timing when I do my test?

Timing is very important. Results should be read between 3 and 5 minutes. Do not read results after 5 minutes.

Can tests from one box of OvuQuick One-Step Ovulation be used during the same month with tests from another box of OvuQuick One-Step Ovulation?

Yes.

I've used all the tests as instructed, but I have not yet detected an LH surge. What do I do?

Six tests are sufficient for man women with regular cycles (if your cycle varies by fewer than 3 days). If your cycle varies by 4 days or more, you may need to test with a 9-day kit. If you still did not detect an LH surge, call your doctor or the Technical Assistance line.

Can I store my urine and test later?

Your urine can be stored at room temperature 59-86°F (15-30°C) for up to 8 hours, or in the refrigerator 36-46°F (2-8°C) for up to 24 hours. Do not freeze it. If you stored your urine, sometimes there will be cloudy urine at the bottom of the cup. Use the clear urine from the top. You do not have to warm your urine to room temperature after refrigeration.

Will Clomid or Serophene affect my results?

If you are taking Clomid or Serophene on days 5 to 9 of your cycle you may begin using Conceive on the 12th day of your cycle. If this does not apply to you, the rule of thumb is to begin testing with Conceive 3 days after you have stopped taking Clomid or Serophene. If you have any questions, consult your physician as to when to begin testing. Testing too soon may cause a false positive (false surge) result.

What is the difference between OvuQuick and Conceive ovulation test?

The only difference is that OvuQuick is available in a 6 and 9-day kit, whereas, Conceive is available in a 5-day kit.
