How Does A Pregnancy Test Work?
A hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is produced in your body when you are pregnant. A pregnancy test can detect the amount of HCG in your urine to determine if you are pregnant. The process is quite simple and painless.
When Should I Take A Test?
For the most accurate results, a pregnancy test should be taken at least one week after a missed period. During this time, your body has had time to produce a good amount of HCG hormone to be accurately detected in a test. Though this test can detect HCG in urine as early as 4 days before your missed period, it is more sensitive in the days after. Waiting a little bit longer will give you clear and accurate results.
At-Home Pregnancy Tests
Though home pregnancy tests are most of the time accurate, there is still a chance it could be false depending on how you use them. If the test is taken too soon or the directions are not followed correctly, the results could be false.
