Opening the Test

Only open the sealed portions of the test when you are ready to take the test. Have a clean space set up for you to lay the components down. Be sure that you have everything you need before you begin. The watch really is the crucial part that many people forget. Having the watch can help you answer many questions about the reading of the pregnancy test.
