Typically, they contain a test tube with the HCG antibody, sterile water, a stand and a dropper. If the woman adds a few drops of her first morning urine to this test-tube brew, then lets it sit for about two hours, a doughnut shape or ring should form on the bottom of the glass if she is pregnant.
