Pregnancy test kits are an easy and accurate way of detecting your pregnancy. It’s simple to use, gives instant results and easily available. So, if you recently had unprotected sex and missed your period, take the pregnancy test to clear you confusion.

How Pregnancy Test Kits work?

Pregnancy kit works by detecting a hormone in your urine. The hCG hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin) is released in your body if you are pregnant. This hormone is released when your egg is fertilized and is attached outside the uterus or to the uterine lining. It takes time to build hCG in your body. Your body produces hCG every day of your early pregnancy and by the time you take the test, you will have enough amount to get accurate results. If you take the test early, you might get negative results as the amount of hCG might not be sufficient to be detected.

When do you need to take a Pregnancy Test?

It is advised to take the pregnancy test on the first day after you missed your period. In case you don’t remember when your period is due, you can take the test 21 days after you had unprotected sex. Other symptoms include experiencing cramps, tender breasts, nausea, exhaustion and frequent urination. It is always better to take pregnancy test and clear your confusion with the results. If you missed your period and still get a negative result, you should consult your doctor.

The best time to take the test is in the morning. This is because the amount of hCG hormone in your urine is concentrated and can be detected once you pee on a pregnancy strip.
