Pregnancy tests look for a special hormone in the urine or blood that is only there when a woman is pregnant. This hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can also be called the pregnancy hormone. The pregnancy hormone, hCG, is made in your body when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This usually happens about 6 days after conception. But studies show that the embryo doesn't implant until later in some women. The amount of hCG increases drastically with each passing day you are pregnant. Many home pregnancy tests claim they can tell if you're pregnant on the day you expect your period. But a recent study shows that most don't give accurate results this early in pregnancy. Waiting one week after a missed period will usually give a more accurate answer. Most brands tell users to repeat the test in a few days, no matter what the results. One negative result (especially soon after a missed period) does not always mean you're not pregnant. All HPTs come with written instructions. Most tests also have toll-free phone numbers to call incase of questions about use or results. The amount of hCG in the urine is different for every pregnant woman. So, some women will have accurate results on the day of the missed period while others will need to wait longer. Some brands of tests can pick up lower levels of hCG than others. But limited research makes it impossible to say for sure which one is the best. Even so, two studies suggest that First Response, Early Result Pregnancy Test may be more sensitive than others. So for women who want test early, this is probably the best product. You may want to try First Response, Early Result Pregnancy Test , I tried it before I even missed my period and came back positive which currently I'm due in a few weeks. Good luck!! I would suggest wait a week and retake the test.
I found out i was pregnant using a cheap (non brand name) pregnancy test (£1.99), so i'd say yes, cheap pregnancy tests work just as well as expensive ones.
And anyway, i doubt the pregancy tests used in hospitals and clinics cost more than £1 a piece.
Hi! Yes, they sure do! I bought one from the Dollar Tree out of curiosity (my husband and I were TTC) and it was 4 days before my period was due, and I got a faint positive, I was so excited, I went out and bought one of the EPT digitals and took it that same day after lunch and got a “pregnant”! So I trust them! They are just as sensitive as other test! Good luck and I hope you get the results you want! Blessings to you and have a great day!
i have used them and have just found out that im pregnant so yes they do work i bought some from an site where they supply the nhs and then when i bought one from the pound shop i noticed there exactly the same
