Types of Pregnancy Testers and Birth Control Pills

October 3, 2009

pregnancytestPregnancy Tests

If you’ve got a feeling that you are pregnant, pregnancy tests are available. The test sees if the HCG hormone is present in your blood and urine. HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin.

If it’s present, it means that the woman is pregnant. That hormone is known as the pregnancy hormone.

Pregnancy can be tested in two ways: either the blood can be tested, or the urine can be tested. A home pregnancy test is a urine test. If you want to undertake the blood test to confirm your pregnancy, then you have to consult a doctor.

The home pregnancy test is not expensive, it is more personal, and it can be used easily. For these reasons, women nowadays prefer using it for their initial confirmation.

With the help of these home testers, you will know if you are pregnant two weeks after ovulating. Some test kits assert that they can determine if you are pregnant the day after you have missed your period.

Home pregnancy kit results are reliable when they are used correctly. The kit should be used according to the instruction provided in the manual. The kit should be used before the expiration date marked on it.

You will know how and when to make use of them if you follow the simple directions supplied with the kit.

Birth Control Pills

Anything done to avoid pregnancy is called birth control. With birth control, you can plan when you want to have a baby. There are various types of birth control.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is imperative to know the various types of birth control and know which one is the safest. You have to adopt birth control measures before having sex.

The most reliable methods are pills that can help you avoid pregnancy even if you forget to take any other precautions. They aid when other measures to prevent getting pregnant fail.

Emergency contraceptive (EC) pills help to avoid pregnancy even after having intercourse. One type of these pills gives the system little bursts of an artificial hormone that disturbs the hormone that is needed to get pregnant.

These EC pills should be taken within hundred and twenty hours of unsafe, unprotected physical relations. If you are already pregnant, the EC pill does not terminate your pregnancy.

The other pill is called the “Morning After” pill. This pill has to be taken within three days of unsafe physical relations, and it prevents the woman from getting pregnant.

In EC pills the progestin level is high. Although EC pills protect against pregnancy up to seventy-five percent of the time, they do not protect against infections and viruses such as HIV.

These ECs are completely ineffective when taken after 3 days. The estrogen in EC is harmless for women, but the chances of getting blood clots are increased.
