New pregnancy test reveals date of conception

25 September 2008 04:30

Women will be able to find out the exact date they conceived by doing a pregnancy test.

The revolutionary new test will allow women to find out if they’re pregnant and when they conceived.

The test by manufacturers ClearBlue is the first of its kind and will work in the way a normal pregnancy test will with a sensor in the test stick identifying the pregnancy hormone hCG from women's urine samples.

The test could end bitter paternity disputes by identifying the number of weeks since conception.

A digital screen displays either 'Pregnant' or 'Not pregnant'.

And, for positive tests, it will also tell users whether they are one to two weeks, two to three, or over three weeks pregnant.

The kit costs up to £13.99.
