Church & Dwight Co. Inc. (CHD) announced that the U.S. FDA has cleared the FIRST RESPONSE Early Result Pregnancy Test, which can determine pregnancy up to six days before the day of a woman's missed period.
FIRST RESPONSE pregnancy kits work by detecting the presence of the pregnancy hormone in a woman's urine. The pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, begins to appear in a pregnant woman 8-10 days after fertilization. The amount of human chorionic gonadotropin doubles every 36-48 hours as the pregnancy progresses. Church & Dwight stated that with its patent pending Polymeric Amplification Technology that only FIRST RESPONSE has, FIRST RESPONSE can detect the pregnancy hormone at lower levels than ever before.
