The paper Dynamics of urinary levels of hCG during early pregnancy and accuracy of the home pregnancy test has been retracted at the request of the authors. Since initiating the work 3 years ago improvements have been made to home pregnancy tests, and the device used in the study is no longer commercially available. The authors are conducting a similar study with a new pregnancy test device which suggests that some of the conclusions drawn in the retracted paper could now be misleading to health professionals and consumers.
