A pregnancy test kit is a very simple strip that lets you know your pregnancy status by testing your urine. It works by detecting the presence of “hCG” (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone that is formed after the fertilisation of the ovum with a sperm. The card has two windows at two ends: 1. test window where you put 2-3 drops of urine for testing, 2. result window, where the results appear. The test window and the result window are connected by a blotting tissue that is smeared with a chemical sensitive to hCG.
