How Do Pregnancy Tests Work?

Are you worried about a potential pregnancy? Your first step to clarity is a positive pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests work to detect a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in your body.

Before moving forward with your options, it’s important to know if you are pregnant by confirming with a pregnancy test. Follow up your home pregnancy test results with our medical-grade pregnancy testing to be sure.

When Should I Take A Pregnancy Test?

It takes time for detectable levels of hCG to build up in your body, and taking the test too soon could give you inaccurate results. For the best accuracy, take a pregnancy test after your first missed period, at least one day after. If you have questions about when the right time is for you, contact us for more information.

Though it’s a great way to begin, a positive pregnancy test is not enough to make a pregnancy decision. There’s still more information you need to know.
