Pregnancy testing facts

If you have been having unprotected sex with your partner, you could be pregnant. Regardless of whether or not you want to have a baby, the fact remains that you could possibly be pregnant if you have not been using birth control. The best way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test can tell you right away if you are going to be having a baby. There are several different types of tests from which you can choose.

Home Pregnancy Test

Many women often use home pregnancy tests. This may be because they are inexpensive and easy to find and use. They are widely available at any drugstore, usually in the family planning aisle, or you can shop for one on the Internet. Online pregnancy tests are often less expensive than the test sold at local stores because they are sold to retailers in large multi-packs.

Home tests are used by many women these days because they are virtually foolproof. They are very easy to use – women simply need to urinate on the chemical testing strip and the test will give you the results. These tests are said to be 99 percent accurate, which is the same success rate seen in tests used in any doctor’s office.

When choosing a home pregnancy test, it is important to follow the directions to the letter. Any deviations could result in either a false positive or a false negative reading on the test.

All home pregnancy tests function by measuring the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy hormone in the urine. Most tests instruct women to wait until their period is at least 5 to 10 days late before using the test. There are early pregnancy tests, though, that can measure a very small amount of hCG; these tests can be used much earlier. Early pregnancy tests can be used the first day after a missed period.

Free Pregnancy Tests

Women who are in need of pregnancy tests but who cannot afford to buy them can get free pregnancy testing. There are clinics that offer free pregnancy tests. Ask your doctor to direct you to local resources if you think you may be pregnant but cannot afford to pay for a test.
