According to WebMD the only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is “by taking a pregnancy test”. According to a healthy lifestyle article on the Mayo Clinic website, “Taking a home pregnancy test can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’re not sure you can trust the results. Know when and how to take a home pregnancy test — as well as some of the possible pitfalls of home testing.”
If you are not sure when the best time is to take the home pregnancy test and take the test too early, check the test results too soon, use diluted urine or have been taking fertility drugs or medications containing HCG, there is a chance the results will be inaccurate.
Some common symptoms of early pregnancy include:
According to Healthline, “You should wait to take a pregnancy test until the week after your missed period for the most accurate result. At Cornerstone Women’s Health Center we can give you a FREE and confidential pregnancy test screening. When you call for an appointment we will answer your questions and provide you with help you need every step of the way. If you don’t want to wait until you’ve missed your period, you should wait at least one or two weeks after you had sex. If you are pregnant, your body needs time to develop detectable levels of HCG. This typically takes seven to 12 days after successful implantation of an egg. You may receive an inaccurate result if the test is taken too early in your cycle.”
According to Medicinet.com, “hCG is made when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This usually happens about six days after the egg and sperm join. But studies show that in up to 10 percent of women, implantation does not occur until much later, after the first day of the missed period. The amount of hCG rapidly builds up in your body with each passing day you are pregnant.”
The primary reason this type of test is more accurate than an over the counter home test is the experience and frequency in which the clinic administers tests. At Cornerstone Pregnancy Services we have given hundreds of tests and are constantly updating our kits for optimum freshness and accuracy.
