Why should I consider a pregnancy test?

Whether your pregnancy is planned or unplanned, Better2Know is here to help. Our popular home testing option is confidential and highly accurate, with sample analysis performed in a fully certified laboratory.

It is advisable to take this test following the first day of a missed period. If you are uncertain when your next period is due, consider taking the test at least 21 days (three weeks) after your unprotected sexual encounter.

We also offer specialised counselling if your result is not the result you were hoping for.

What is the Better2Know home testing process?

Better2Know’s home testing brings the accuracy and professionalism of our private clinic service to the comfort of your own home. Inside your kit will find a urine collection pot, a pathology form, instructions, and a prepaid envelope to return your sample. Once you have taken your sample, pop it in the post and our accredited laboratory will analyse your test swiftly and efficiently.

When will my home testing kit arrive?

If you order the Better2Know home pregnancy test before 4 pm between Monday and Friday, your kit will be posted that same afternoon.

How will I receive my test results?

The results of your pregnancy test will be ready to report within one working day of your sample’s arrival at our laboratory. Once your results are available you will be contacted by a member of our expert patient health advisory team inviting you to log on to get your results. With Better2Know , you can also monitor the progress of your results online via the secure patient login area of our website.

What should I do with my results?

If you are pregnant and happy, please contact your doctor or midwife to begin your antenatal care following your results.

With any other results, we are here to help you. This can range from advice and testing on getting pregnant, or counselling on the choices available to you.
