We spoke to Dr. Daniel Cichi, GP and medical advisor at Doctors 4 U, to answer all your pregnancy test questions, as well as picking out the best ones for you.
Nothing can quite put your mind at ease like a pregnancy test, but which are the best pregnancy tests to buy in the UK?and have selected the top pregnancy tests available to buy in the UK so you can know whether you're pregnant or not at the earliest possible opportunity."Pregnancy tests essentially work by checking your urine for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin , which is a hormone that your body only makes If your pregnant.
Home pregnancy tests involve urine look for how much hCG is present in your urine. At-home pregnancy tests usually involve placing drops of urine onto a chemical strip or placing this strip into your urine. The strip then detects hCG and you will need to wait a certain amount of time before the results show in the test window."You should wait to take a pregnancy test until the week after your missed period for an accurate result as this is when the test will be most reliable.
"If you do not want to wait until your period, then you should wait at least 21 days after you’ve had sex. Some pregnancy tests can be used from as early as 8 days after conception. However, for accurate results, it’s best to take a test when your period is due and of course if your period hasn’t arrived."Generally, pregnancy tests are pretty much on the mark.
"The number of tests you take is a personal preference, and some women like to take a few to be sure. If you have taken a test and it says pregnant then it is highly unlikely to be wrong. I would suggest going to your GP for a further test if you are worried as this will put your mind at ease," explains Dr Cichi., but normally not at your GPs - you could make an appointment at your local Sexual Health Clinic.
