How does a pregnancy test work?
A pregnancy test works by detecting the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant, her body begins producing hCG shortly after a fertilised egg attaches to the lining of her uterus. This hormone can be found in the woman’s urine and blood.
Most home pregnancy tests use a simple method where the woman either urinates on a test stick or dips the stick into a sample of her urine. The test strip contains antibodies that specifically bind to hCG, triggering a chemical reaction that changes colour to indicate a positive or negative result.
Which kit is best for a pregnancy test?
The best pregnancy test kit depends on your specific needs. Some tests give a ‘pregnant’ or ‘not pregnant’ statement to eliminate any confusion that may arise from interpreting tests that use coloured lines or dots to indicate pregnancy. Other tests offer early detection and may detect pregnancy before a missed period. Your healthcare professional can advise which kit is best for a pregnancy test.
When should you take a pregnancy test?
The manufacturer’s instructions on your pregnancy test will tell you when the best time is to take the test. For the most accurate results the best time to take a pregnancy test is usually about a week or two after your missed period for the most accurate results. This delay allows the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the pregnancy hormone, to build up to a detectable level in your urine. However, pregnancy tests vary in their sensitivity to hCG, and some can be used on the first day of a missed period or even a few days before a missed period. It’s advisable to use the first urine of the morning when hCG levels are typically highest.
How long does a pregnancy test take?
The time it takes for a pregnancy test to provide results varies by brand, but most tests can give results within a few minutes. Typically, it takes about one to five minutes to read the results from a home pregnancy test after applying urine to the test device. For the most accurate results, it is essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the testing procedure and timing for reading the results.
