How Pregnancy Testing Works
Pregnancy tests are your first step to clarity when it comes to an unexpected pregnancy. This test indicates if you’re pregnant by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your body. Both urine and blood pregnancy tests are done, but the most common type is a urine pregnancy test.
When to Take a Pregnancy Test
The Mayo Clinic recommends taking a pregnancy test at least one day after a missed period to get the most accurate results. This gives time for the body to produce the right amount of hCG hormone to be accurately detected in a test.
Follow-Up With an Ultrasound
A positive pregnancy test can indicate pregnancy but it cannot confirm the necessary pregnancy details needed to move forward with a pregnancy decision. After a positive pregnancy test, follow with an ultrasound to confirm vital pregnancy details, including:
- How far along you are (gestational age)
- Location of pregnancy (if it’s located within the uterus)
- Viability (whether the pregnancy has a heartbeat & is progressing)
You deserve answers about your unique pregnancy details before making any pregnancy decision. This is vital for safeguarding your health. We can help.
