If pregnancy is suspected, it is best to resolve by testing. To do this we must know the right time and procedure, and thus ensure a successful outcome.


How to perform a pregnancy test

At the time of our parents and grandparents, pregnancies were defined with blood tests and lab tests, if requested by the physician. Besides the usual suspects (lack of menstrual period, certain pains or conditions, loss of appetite, dizziness and nausea, among others), lab results took days of agonizing wait.

But all that changed with the advent of home pregnancy tests that allow you to know with some certainty and in minutes if you are pregnant or not.


The right time to do a pregnancy test

To have pregnancy must have a prior relationship, undeniably. It may be conventional or unconventional, and to have been carried out with methods of contraception whose effectiveness had failed on occasion. 
Based on the 4-7 days of that meeting, depending on the reproductive cycle of women and sperm motility, and can detect early signs of pregnancy , although it is recommended to test about 7-9 days after the date of sauteed menstruation. I mean, if you had to start menstruating day 1, the test takes between 8 and 10 for women with regular cycles, and by day 18 to 20 in women irregular cycle.

How do pregnancy test

As laboratory tests, pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG or Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone in female fluids, whether blood or urine. Although the home tests can be flawed, the fact is that they have tremendous effectiveness. Some argue that only negative results are debatable, while positive are always truthful.

For safety, if you prefer, takes two to three home detection kits of different brands pregnancies. Read good prospects and directions, to corroborate what the signs of pregnancy are conclusive in each system. To acquire, make sure to read the expiry date of the product and, if you allow it, open the boxes at the store to confirm that they have all their accessories.

When I got home, it should hold urine before testing. Two or three hours of restraint will suffice: rent a movie or preparing food, do whatever you occupy your time to concentrate urine in your body and thus make more effective reading. It is best to perform the test in the morning , but you can do it anytime of the day (the first urine of the day you from having to wait concentration). Try to drink water normally, instead of consuming it in abundance only to produce urine, as this "lightens" the fluid and prevents a correct reading.

Finally, follow the instructions of each system to the letter. You can do different tests in different accumulations of urine, for a more effective result. Check if the system has control or indicator window, or only displays the results. If the package recommends waiting a minute from contact with urine, let stand for two or three for safety.
