Pregnancy Test and Early Signs Of Pregnancy

The home pregnancy test enables you to do a urine test at home. The blood tests need to be done by a doctor. Most frequently, women use home Pregnancy Tests first to find out if they are pregnant. You can buy pregnancy tests online and at most drugstores or grocery stores over-the-counter.

Home pregnancy tests are personal, reasonably priced and simple to use. About 2 weeks after ovulation, these tests can tell if you’re pregnant. Some more sensitive tests state that they can tell if you are pregnant as early as one day after a missed period. Once a home pregnancy test shows that you are pregnant, you should make an appointment with your doctor right away. A pelvic examination can be performed by your doctor and then at the same time you can be given a test which is more sensitive to tell for certain if you’re pregnant.

There are two types of test namely Home pregnancy test and clinical test. As the name suggest the latter is done under medical supervision and the former can be done at home with the help of test kits which are easily available in the market. The results of pregnancy test are getting more accurate with the passing time. Both urine and blood test results produce 97%to 99% accuracy. The accuracy of the test depends upon how the test is performed. The best-performed test is bound to give accurate result.

Over The Counter Pregnancy Tests

These tests are by far the most convenient type of pregnancy examination. They are urine based and can be done by the patients themselves. The over the counter pregnancy kit contains a urine cup and a stick, which helps to find out the pregnancy.

The procedure is fairly simple. The woman has to pee in the cup, and then submerge the stick into the urine, for a specific period. The instructions are very clearly mentioned in the kit’s instruction booklet. However, if you are not comfortable with the conventional way, another, cleaner way of determination is by putting the stick in the urine pour out, while you are urinating.

When to take a pregnancy test is important, because if you test too early in your pregnancy, there may not yet be enough of the pregnancy hormone in the urine to provide a positive test result. Most of the home pregnancy tests will be 90% accurate if you wait and test yourself one day after your missed period is due. If you feel you are pregnant but the home pregnancy test is negative, repeat the test again in a week if you still have not had your period.

Home Pregnancy Tests

Most of the women go for home pregnancy test. To get the maximum accurate results you need to wait for about a week after the due date of your periods. This will have more concentration of HCG in the urine, which allow for more accurate test. The best time to perform the test is in the morning before having anything because this is the time when there will be upsurge of HCG in the urine. If you are aware of the tests that can be performed on the first day the period is due, then it is better to understand that such tests doesn’t guarantee accuracy and hence cannot be relied upon.
