When To Take A Pregnancy Test:

January 15, 2009

If you are well prepared for your pregnancy, the news about the pregnancy makes you happy. On the other hand, if you do not expect any pregnancy, the accidental pregnancy may be a big concern for you. Whatever may be the case if after your last intercourse you think that you might have conceived, then your next query will be “when to take the pregnancy test?”

For the pregnancy test the best time is considered to be after your period is due.  This is because the market-available pregnancy tests are to confirm positive result after until this point.  Those who are well prepared for the pregnancy and trying to get pregnant would be eager to know as early as possible without any waiting.

Pregnancy test:

For positive results after the pregnancy test, the present of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is essential.  This hCG is not developed until the implantation meaning until the time when the fertilized egg is attached to the uterine wall.   Thus, the earliest time for pregnancy test with positive result is 7 days past ovulation.  But, even after the full waiting, the result could be negative.

Mostly, after the first day of missed period, 90% women show positive sign and 10% of women show negative test result even if they happen to be pregnant.  The market-available pregnancy test kits ask for taking the urine tests to determine the amount of hCG in the urine.  These test kits are available at the grocery stores, medical stores, and pharmacies.

There are two types of home pregnancy test namely the Mainstream and Dip.  For the Dip test, it is required that a test strip is held while dipped into the container of urine whereas, for the Mainstream test, the test is done with the stream of urine.

For the better clarification, consulting a doctor is always a good option.  The doctor can usually check with the blood test that can detect hCG in smaller amounts much early than the urine test.  Thus, the perfect time for pregnancy test is 7 days after ovulation depending upon your choice of whether home test or doctor.
