How Pregnancy Tests Works

Are you experiencing a missed period? Moodiness? Tender breasts or nausea (with or without vomiting)? These are all symptoms of a possible pregnancy. To be sure, take a self-administered pregnancy test with our team today.

 Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). There are both urine and blood pregnancy tests, but most tests measure the amount of HCG in your urine and show you the results right away.

Timing Matters

Timing matters when it comes to taking a pregnancy test, as it takes time to accurately detect HCG in your body. Begin with a pregnancy test after your first missed period for the most accurate results. When taking a pregnancy test too soon, you could get a false negative.

According to the Mayo Clinic, you should wait until at least a day after your first missed period to take a pregnancy test for the most accurate results. If you still think you’re pregnant after receiving a negative pregnancy test result, take another one a week after your period for the most accurate results.
