How to Do an EPT Home Pregnancy Test
When you think you might be pregnant, you want to know as soon as possible. The e.p.t. brand pregnancy test is available over-the-counter (OTC) in most stores, which makes it a popular choice for home pregnancy testing. Though the company offers different versions of the test, such as a digital and analog version, the method of taking the test is the same. In just a few minutes, you could know if you are pregnant.
e.p.t. Pregnancy Test
Step 1
Remove the pregnancy test from its foil packaging.
Step 2
Take off the purple cap, holding the test by the other end. This exposes the absorbent strip. You do not want to touch this strip.
Step 3
Soak the absorbent tip with urine. One way to do this is to place it in your urine stream for five seconds. Alternatively, you can collect your urine in a cup and dip the stick into the urine for 20 seconds.
Step 4
Place the cover back on.
Step 5
Set the pregnancy test down on a flat surface.
Step 6
Read the test results after two minutes. If you are pregnant, you will see a “+.” If you are not, you will see a “-.”

Step 1
Remove the foil cover from the test.
Step 2
Take off the cap. Take care not to touch the exposed area.
Step 3
Put the test stick into the holder, lining up the purple arrows. You’ll hear a “click” sound when you’ve done it correctly.
Step 4
Soak the absorbent tip in urine. You can do this by placing the tip in your urine stream or by collecting your urine in a cup and dipping the tip into the urine.
Step 5
Set the test down on the counter. If you’ve done things correctly, the display screen will flash and show a “Test Ready” message after about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Read your results. After two minutes, you will be able to read “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant” in the display screen.
