In general, around 20% of all men have poor sperm quality. As men get older, the sperm quality decreases making it more difficult for a successful conception. For some men, a healthy diet and lifestyle can help restore normal sperm quality but always speak with your doctor if you have symptoms that concern you, or before changing your medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA test for a single biomarker, such as sperm quality, is not a diagnosis.

The concentration of hCG rises rapidly during the first few months of your pregnancy. The SELFCHECK Pregnancy Urine Test uses a pair of monoclonal antibodies for the specific detection of hCG in urine and gives a positive result once the level of hCG in the urine is higher than 25mlU\/mL, as determined against the World Health Organisation (WHO) reference material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use your pregnancy test any time of the day or night but in the case of very early pregnancy (8 to 10 days after conception) it is recommended to use the first urine sample of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use the test as soon as your period is one day late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTime to result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test gives a result in 5 minutes at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA test for a single biomarker, such as hCG, is not a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not change your medication, diet or lifestyle solely on the basis of a self-test - always discuss your result with an appropriate healthcare professional first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot following the instructions exactly as written in the instructions for use may cause a false positive or false negative result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high fluid intake can dilute the levels of hCG in your urine making detection more difficult - a normal fluid intake is therefore recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertain drugs that contain hCG such as Pregnyl, Porfasi or Pergonal and rare medical conditions can cause detectable levels of hCG in your urine even if you are not pregnant.
