How Accurate Are Pregnancy Tests? hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta shortly following egg implantation. With most home pregnancy testing products, the “reaction time” of the test is a minimum five minute interval to verify a negative result for pregnancy. Generally, at three to five minutes, you can interpret the test results. To be accurate, the test results should be read within the reaction time of the test, which is usually at 5 minutes. Given proper procedure, a home pregnancy test (hpt) is very accurate. Our tests are FDA approved and are over 99% accurate.
