When to take a pregnancy test?


The later, the better

In order to get a meaningful result, the first response pregnancy test should be accomplished at the first two weeks after the ovulation. A test before the actual date of the menstruation, is not meaningful, since the concentration of the hCG  hormone (pregnancy hormone) is still too low in the blood and the test gets perhaps a negative result. Also so-called early tests or first response pregnancy have a higher expression in result. Besides the hormone concentration, each woman is different. Therefore a statement can hardly be made the at this early point.

Test with the morning urine

The pregnancy hormone HCG is particularly highly concentrated in the morning urine, which increases the reliability of a pregnancy test early in the morning. Even if you bought the test in the afternoon, you should wait up to the next morning.

Pregnancy tests can indicate a wrong results

Even if most tests promotes a reliability bordering on 100%, it often occurs that the test is wrong. That is the case, when the test is too early used and an a concentration of hCG could not be determined. Some early tests, which reacts more sensitively to the pregnancy hormone, may report wrong positive results. Therefore a definitive answer usually brings the visit at the gynecologist.

Many pregnancies do not remain

A high part of pregnancies, does not develop itself for different reasons and the body cancel it. This mostly happens in the first weeks. A early accomplished positive pregnancy test, , gives for a long time no warranty on an intact pregnancy.

Pregnancy signs can be also sign of menstruation

In the first weeks of the pregnancy alleged signs, such as breast or abdominal pain can come. This could be a normal sign of a imminent entering your special days. This should not be interpreted as a pregnancy signs. The actual signs enter at the time, when the pregnancy can be proven surely with a urine or a blood test, thus at least one day according to the due rule.

Consider correct application

The pregnancy test should be stored darkly and drying and the durability date plays also an important role for the reliability. The execution should be made as exact as possible like shown in the instruction. For example there should be no urine at the control window. Who is uncertain in targeting should collect the urine in a cup and then test.

A medicamentus released ovulation adulterate the result

It is to be noted that some medicines could adulterate the hCG concentration. Therefore the result of a pregnancy test is not reliable up to seven days after the last syringe.
