🤰 What is a Pregnancy Test?
A pregnancy test is a simple test that detects the hCG hormone (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in your body. This hormone is only produced during pregnancy. The test tells you whether or not you are pregnant.
⏰ When Should You Take a Pregnancy Test?
- 7 days after a missed period: This is the best time — accuracy is 99%
- First morning urine: For urine tests, the first sample of the day is the most accurate (hCG is most concentrated)
- Blood tests detect earlier: A blood hCG test can detect pregnancy even before a missed period (6-8 days after conception)
🔬 Urine vs Blood Pregnancy Test
| Feature | Urine Test | Blood Test (hCG) |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Results in minutes | 2-4 hours |
| Accuracy | 97-99% | 99%+ (Most accurate) |
| Early Detection | After missed period | 6-8 days after conception |
| Quantitative | Only positive/negative | Shows exact hCG level |
| Price | Rs. 200-300 | Rs. 300-500 |
❓ When Can a Pregnancy Test Give a False Negative?
- Testing too early — hCG hasn't built up enough yet
- Drinking too much water before the test — urine becomes diluted
- Using an expired test kit
💡 If your urine test is negative but your period still hasn't come, wait 3-5 days and test again — or get a blood hCG test for the most accurate result.
