Negative Pregnancy Test Result? Test Again!
Had unprotected sex? Well you are going to need to take a pregnancy test at the least so here is some information on them so you know how they work and use them correctly.
What Can Affect a Pregnancy Test?
The home pregnancy tests that women can use today are very accurate, almost 100% in fact. The problem that women have is whether they follow the directions precisely as they need to do, and if they take the test at the best time as they should. But often women trying to conceive are anxious to know, and so may take the test too soon for very reliable results.
EPT Pregnancy Test – Your First Choice ?
The EPT pregnancy test is considered by many the best one you can take. It can help you discover if you are pregnant from an early stage as it tests for traces of the hormone that is released by the body when there is fertilization. The EPT pregnancy test is very sensitive to hCG (the pregnancy hormone) so even when the levels of it are still low in the body, it can let you know whether you are expecting or not. Out of all the various home pregnancy tests available this one is the better choice.
Getting a False-Positive Pregnancy Test
Unless you have been trying for a baby there is a feeling of panic when you take that HCG pregnancy test or one to be done at home, and you see those two strips appear. Usually it is recommended by doctors that you wait until a missed period before you take a test but sometimes it is hard to wait if you know you have had unprotected sex. In which case you need to take it two weeks from the date of the possible conception via a clinical laboratory blood test. They can tell if you are pregnant by checking for HCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a chemical released when pregnant and can be found in the woman’s urine or blood. When using a home test they are 97% accurate but there is a slim chance of getting a false positive result.
