Types of Pregnancy Tests
There are two main types of pregnancy tests:
- Home Pregnancy Tests (HPTs): These are over-the-counter tests that detect the presence of the hormone hCG in your urine. They are convenient and can be done in the privacy of your home.
- Clinical Pregnancy Tests: Conducted at a healthcare facility, these tests are more sensitive and can detect pregnancy earlier than home tests. Clinical tests include urine tests and blood tests, Obstetrics & Gynecology.
When to Take a Pregnancy Test
Timing is crucial for accurate results. It is generally recommended to take a pregnancy test after you have missed your period. This allows for a higher concentration of hCG to build up in your body, increasing the test’s accuracy.
