The Pregnancy Test $3.95 Ordinarily, I’m a fan of pink–lovely color, does smashing things for the complexion. But not when it’s the bright, glaring stripe staring back at me on the pregnancy test. Then, pink is the color of major oops, of morning sickness, of boyfriends who seemed decent but now are part of some Jerk Witness Protection Program. Still, I’ve got a few things going for me–bitter humor, a divine right to eat till I’m the size of Marlon Brando, and good friends who’ve managed to get me a job interview with one Damien Sharpton: in need of a personal assistant, and some say, a good, swift kick in the arse. If you want to make a lasting impression, by all means, toss your cookies in your future boss’s wastebasket, which is located directly between his excruciatingly sexy legs. Apparently, Mr. Gorgeous-But-Unbearably-Anti-Social must like personal assistants who violate his trash can, because I got the job. And if I can avoid him via text messaging for the next seven months of health insurance, everything will be just fine. Except that he’s just asked–no, insisted–that I go with him on a business trip to the Caribbean. Gulp, Ordinarily, this would be cause for celebration. Ordinarily, I’d shave my legs, pack my bikini, revel in day-glo drinks and my seething lust for Mr. Swarthy-And-Secretive. But there’s nothing ordinary about this situation…which means it could be absolutely extraordinary.

Symptoms of Getting Pregnant – Your Basic Pregnancy Testing Questions Answered

Once you have decided to start a family, you have probably engaged in a slew of activities to get ready. You have prepared yourself physically. You have charted and tracked temperatures to predict your fertile days. You have made sure that there has been just enough sex on just the right days. And now, you have to wait. But how long do you have to wait before you can take a test? What kind of test should you take? How accurate are the tests? Should I have my doctor do the test, or can I do them myself? If these are the questions you are asking yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find the answers.

Pregnancy Testing Question #1: How do I find out if I am pregnant?

If you are sensing classic pregnancy symptoms such as tiredness, nausea, and breast tenderness, there is a good chance that you are. To find out for sure, you need to take either a urine or a blood test.

Pregnancy Testing Question #2: Does my doctor have to do the test?

Maybe. Doctors can administer blood tests, which are the most accurate way of testing for pregnancy. You can test for pregnancy yourself using an at-home urine test, even though the blood test is the most accurate. The pregnancy tests have gotten much more accurate, so if you see a strong test result, you can be certain that you are pregnant.

Pregnancy Testing Question #3: How soon after I have sex can I take a test to see if I am pregnant?

You can take a pregnancy test a few minutes after sex, but you will not get an accurate result. If you want an accurate test result, you probably aren’t going to get one until somewhere around 14 days after intercourse when you were ovulating. This time period should coincide with when you are schedule to get your period again. The reason that you need to wait is that when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus, the body produces a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin, or HCG. Home pregnancy tests evaluate the level of HCG found in the urine, so as time progresses, there will be more HCG in the urine if you are pregnant. If your body starts producing HCG levels quickly, then you may be able to get an accurate result earlier, but it really is best to wait about two weeks after your predicted ovulation date.

Pregnancy Testing Question #4: Do all home pregnancy tests have the same level of accuracy?

Pregnancy test manufacturers all claim to have the most accurate tests, but in reality, accuracy is very dependent upon how soon after conception your body starts releasing the HCG.

Pregnancy Testing Question #5: If I get a negative test result on one day, could I get a positive test result the next day?

Again, it all comes down to the HCG levels in the urine. It is possible for this to happen if you take a test 24 hours before the HCG shows up.

Pregnancy Testing Question #6: Is there a certain time of day that I should take the test?

Absolutely. You should take an at-home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, as that is the time of day when your urine is most concentrated and therefore has the greatest probability of containing HCG. It does not matter what time of day a blood test is administered, as pregnancy hormone levels are consistent throughout the day in the blood stream.
