Content: Doctors usually recommend a waiting period of almost two weeks after missing a period before doing the urine pregnancy test. However, a few tests are more powerful as compared to others and may not require a two weeks waiting period. What Does the Test Show
The test confirms the presence of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in a woman’s urine. The test is qualitative and does not indicate the amount of the hormone in the urine which can only be determined by a blood test. The occurrence of hormone hCG in the urine is a positive indication of pregnancy. Steps to Follow to Perform Urine Pregnancy Test With Accuracy
Most home urine pregnancy test kits come with a set of detailed instructions. Please follow the instructions carefully to achieve accurate results. Some of the steps may include: 1. Calculate the missed period date
Take note of the first day of the last period you had.
