What is the best pregnancy test I can use to see if I am pregnant?

The best pregnancy test depends on what you want, the best accuracy or the most sensitive test to test as early as possible. There are a lot of brands out there, but if you want one that is sensitive you want to look for a sensitivity that is 25mIU, brands that you can consider include Clearblue Easy, Answer Early Result, AimStrip, Accuclear, and AccuHome. The best test for you is the one that are comfortable using and reading. Look at packaging to judge. Things you may want to consider are whether you can pee in a cup or on the stick, whether it is a digital display or lines, how much it costs, whether the instructions are in a language you can read! Make sure the one you decide on has not expired too.

I took a pregnancy test and it said positive but I have just started my period, what does this mean?

It is possible to get a false positive result when taking a home pregnancy test, but it is rare, it is far more common to get a false negative. A false positive result can occur if you have been taking fertility drugs or treatment that included hCG shots. It is also possible that you misread the display window and took it to mean positive when it had timed out, or actually meant negative. There are also some medications that could affect the results, so check with your doctor. If you are certain you read and followed the instructions exactly and that the result you got was a real positive, and you have not taken hCG fertility treatment, and the stick was not exposed to chemicals that could have affected the result, the other possibility is that you are pregnant and the bleeding you are having is implantation bleeding not menstrual bleeding.

I had unprotected sex a week ago and want to know if I am pregnant can I take a home test?

Whether you have had planned or unplanned unprotected sex, once it has happened women are obviously very keen to know whether it has gotten them pregnant or not. However a fertilized egg does not mean a pregnant, even if the unprotected sex resulted in sperm fertilizing the egg, that egg then needs to travel to the uterus and that can take between 6 to 12 days or so. Therefore though there are sensitive tests that allow you to test early for pregnancy at home, a week after the unprotected sex may still be too early.

Why is a home pregnancy test more likely to be accurate if I wait until a missed period?

When the fertilized egg reaches the uterus and attaches to the lining the body recognizes it is pregnant and starts making a hormone called hCG also known as the pregnancy hormone, because it is only in your body when you are pregnant. At first hCG levels in your urine are very low. There are some tests that claim they are more sensitive and can detect low amounts of hCG but the earlier you test the less accurate your result might be. It is possible to get a negative result just because you did not have enough hCG in your urine for the test to detect. hCG does rapidly increase though so by the time you reach the day around which your period should have started, there should be enough hCG for most home tests to be able to correctly detect and give a positive result.

What day should I take a pregnancy test?

That depends on the sensitivity of the test you have purchased. The ideal time to take one though for the highest chances of accuracy is a few days after a missed period. However there are tests that let you test before that, but the accuracy does lower slightly as there are chances your hCG levels are too low even for a sensitive test.
