When To Take A Pregnancy Test
Olinda Rola
Knowing when to take a pregnancy test will help you know whether
or not you're pregnant. If you're wanting to know when to take a
pregnancy test, the timing depends on the type of test.
There are two basic types of pregnancy tests - the urine test
and the blood test. Both tests look for the hormone that is only
present if a woman is pregnant. This hormone is called 'human
chorionic gonadotropin', also referred to as 'hCG'. Blood tests
can detect hCG about 6 to 8 days after you have ovulated. In
general, urine tests can detect hCG about 14 days after
ovulation. When to take a pregnancy test at home is done by many
women using a pregnancy test that will test the urine to
determine if they are pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are
convenient, inexpensive and are private. The urine test should
be done using your first urine when you awake in the morning.
When you have a positive home pregnancy test result, you should
then see your health care provider soon. Your health care
provider will confirm your home test result with a blood test
plus a pelvic exam.
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. And if you are still getting negative test
results and think you are pregnant, be sure and see your health
care provider right away.
Pregnancy is a wonderful event that is complex, frustrating,
satisfying and exciting. Your desire to become pregnant and
having a child will have even more significance to you if it
means you'll be taking better care of yourself and your partner.
Besides knowing when to take a pregnancy test, learn as much as
you can about improving your own health so you'll be providing
that special little one the very best start to life that is
possible.
