How Does A Pregnancy Test Work?
A hormone called hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is produced when you become pregnant. When you take a pregnancy test, it detects the amount of hCG hormone in your urine to tell you if you are pregnant.
As you probably know, taking a pregnancy test is really simple and painless. We at Haven of Hope Pregnancy Services offer free and confidential pregnancy tests so you can be sure about your pregnancy.
When To Take A Pregnancy Test
According to the Mayo Clinic, the best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one week after your missed period for the most accurate results. During this time, your body has had time to produce the right amount of hCG hormone to accurately show up on a pregnancy test.
Home Pregnancy Tests
Did you take a couple home pregnancy tests already? While pregnancy tests you pickup from the drugstore are accurate, there is still a small chance for false results.
Emotions run high when taking a pregnancy test and it can be easy for you to rush or miss a step. You may have received false results if taken at the wrong time or if the directions were not followed correctly.
Be sure by getting a free pregnancy test at our center to confirm your pregnancy results. Our compassionate and non-judgmental team is here to help you navigate your pregnancy journey and all that comes with it. We can better inform you about the pregnancy confirmation process.
