Am I Really Pregnant?
Taking a pregnancy test when you did not intend to get pregnant is scary. You need to know, but don’t want to see the answer. We get it.
A missed period is usually the first pregnancy symptom, but see if you’re experiencing any other symptoms. The sooner your pregnancy is confirmed, the faster you can begin prenatal care.
When Can I Take a Pregnancy Test?
Doctors recommend taking a pregnancy test after the first day of your missed period. When a woman becomes pregnant, she produces a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). As this hormone builds in her body, it eventually enters her urine and bloodstream.
There is a strong possibility you are pregnant if a urine pregnancy test detects hCG. The longer you wait to take the test, the more accurate the test should be.
Can I Take a Home Pregnancy Test?
Home pregnancy tests are reliable as long as you follow the directions carefully. Here are the steps you should take:
- Check the expiration date on the test.
- Read the directions thoroughly.
- Wait until the first day after your missed period before taking it.
- Take the test in the morning when your urine is the most concentrated.
- Wait the recommended amount of time before checking the results.
- Retest to see if the test results are the same.
