These days, pregnancy tests are very effective and you should know your answer within minutes. Companies are continually changing how their tests display the results so that you are not left standing there wondering if there is or isn't a line, and what a line or no line means. Now, you can get the pregnancy tests that say positive or negative, or even pregnant or not pregnant on them as a result so there are no more questions. Make sure you read your specific test as to how the results will be displayed, as that tends to be more confusing for women than actually seeing what the result is.
A woman can take a pregnancy test a few days before her period is due with accurate results, but it is always recommended to wait until the day your period is due, or a few days later. This is simply due to getting a good, strong result as these tests detect a hormone in the urine, and it takes 10 to 14 days for this to show up in the urine.
You can buy a pregnancy test pretty much anywhere now. Even the dollar stores sometimes stock them and they are just as reliable. For those that have been trying to conceive for a while, they may even start buying tests in bulk online; due to the amount they have gone through and expect to still go through. Some women also tend to be serial testers, so saving a few dollars on tests can be helpful.
For best results, you should use the first morning urine to take the pregnancy test. This is because the hormone that the test is looking for is more concentrated after a long period of not urinating. If you keep forgetting, leave the test sitting on the toilet so it reminds you when you get up.
Sometimes a doctor will send you for blood work early on to check your hCG levels. They are checking for the same hormone that a urine test checks for, but they may want to do these to give an idea of how far along you are, if you are have multiples, or they may want to check in case of a miscarriage. These types of pregnancy tests can detect a pregnancy about a week after ovulation, but doctors don't do these tests as often due to the amount of time it takes to get results. Price is also a factor, as a simple urine test is accurate enough to confirm a pregnancy, and much cheaper.
A positive pregnancy test is just the start of a new journey. For many, it is a wonderful blessing, and they cannot wait to see where this journey is going to take them.
