💡 Snel antwoord
i-Can is een home pregnancy detection kit that detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. Highly accurate (~99%) when used correctly from the day of your expected missed period. Testing earlier can produce false negatives — hCG rises 48-hour-doubling in early pregnancy and may be below detection threshold before the missed period.

What Is i-Can?
i-Can is a home urine pregnancy test that detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) — the hormone produced by the placenta after implantation (roughly 6–10 days post-conception, but variably). The test uses a qualitative immunoassay with antibodies that bind hCG and produce a visible line when the hormone is above the detection threshold. Manufactured by Piramal.
When to Test
- Most reliable: the day of your expected missed period or later.
- Early testing (4–5 days before missed period): some kits claim early detection. Sensitivity depends on kit and individual — early negatives are common false negatives.
- Best time of day: first morning urine (most concentrated) for highest sensitivity. Later-day testing works if pregnancy is further along.
- If negative but period is still late: retest in 48–72 hours. hCG doubles every 48 hours in early pregnancy.
Hoe te gebruiken
- Read the specific instructions for your kit — details vary.
- Collect first morning urine in a clean cup or apply test strip directly to urine stream per kit directions.
- Read the result within the specified window (usually 1–5 minutes). Reading after this window can produce evaporation lines (false positives).
- Two lines = pregnant (any visible second line, even faint). One line = not pregnant or too early. No control line = invalid test (retest with fresh kit).
- A positive test should be confirmed with a clinician — blood hCG, dating ultrasound, and antenatal care planning.
Interpreting Results
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Two clear lines | Positive (pregnant). Even a faint second line indicates positive. |
| One line (control only) | Negative. If late period persists, retest in 48–72 hours. |
| No lines or invalid | Test failed. Retest with fresh kit. |
| Faint line appearing after read window | Evaporation line (false positive). Retest if uncertain. |
False Results — Causes
False negatives (testing too early, diluted urine, low-sensitivity kit, hook effect at very high hCG): retest with first morning urine in 48–72 hours if period remains late.
False positives (rare): recent hCG injection (fertility treatments), certain cancers (trophoblastic disease), some medications, reading after the specified window (evaporation lines), chemical pregnancy (very early implantation then loss).
When to See a Clinician
- Positive test — for confirmation, dating, antenatal care planning
- Negative test but period still late beyond 7 days post missed period
- Abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or dizziness with positive test — urgent (ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage)
- Irregular cycles making “missed period” unclear
- Recurrent negative tests despite symptoms of pregnancy
Opslag
Store at room temperature (15–25 °C). Keep sealed until use. Do not use after the expiry date — accuracy declines.
Veelgestelde vragen
How early can I test?
Most kits are reliable on or after the day of your expected period. Early-detection kits claim detection 4–5 days before, but early negatives are common. Retest if period remains late.
Do I need first morning urine?
First morning urine is most concentrated and gives the highest sensitivity. If pregnancy is established (beyond 1–2 weeks post missed period), any time of day works.
What if the line is very faint?
Any visible second line within the read window indicates positive. Repeat in 48–72 hours with first morning urine for confirmation — hCG doubles rapidly in early pregnancy, so the line should strengthen if truly positive.
Can stress or stress delay my period and cause a false negative?
Stress can delay periods. The test is detecting hCG presence, so a negative result is a negative result — not a “false negative from stress”. If period is still late in a week, retest.
What is an evaporation line?
After the specified read window (e.g. 10 minutes), dried urine can leave a faint residue that looks like a positive line. Only trust results read within the kit’s specified time window.
If positive, what next?
Book an appointment with your clinician. They’ll confirm with blood hCG, schedule dating ultrasound, and start antenatal care (folic acid, lifestyle discussion, booking scan).
Can medications cause false positives?
hCG injections used in fertility treatments cause positives (real hCG, not false). Other medications rarely affect results.
How accurate is i-Can?
When used correctly on or after the day of missed period: ~99% accurate for a positive result. False negatives are more common (usually testing too early). False positives are rare.
