Pregnancy Test

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?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will you send my kit to me?

If your order is placed before 4pm on a working day, then it will be sent the same day. Otherwise it will be sent on the next working day.

Q: Why do you need my email address?

Your Patient Services Manager, Louise Wright, will email you your login details to access your results, a confirmation your kit has been dispatched and finally when all your results are ready. We do not sell on or email you any other marketing materials, that is why we do not ask you to opt in or out of anything.

Q: Do I need to use my real name?

No, but the postman does need to know where to deliver the kit to. As long as you use a name that will get the kit to you, then we do not need your real name.

Q: What does the kit packaging look like?

It will arrive in plain white envelope with your typed name and address on it.

Q: What if I have any more questions?

You can email Louise by replying to one of the emails she has sent to you. She will do her best to answer them.
