How Early Can You Take a Pregnancy Test

A baby will be such a blessing in your life. So, it is very normal if you go back and forth taking pregnancy tests almost every single day while hoping the positive sign will appear. However, taking a pregnancy test can be very exhausting, especially if you keep getting negative test result. But there is one thing you have to know. Negative result doesn’t always mean that you are not pregnant. Sometimes the result will be negative if you take the test too early. So, to save you from disappointment, you have to know when the right time is to take the test. Here are some tips and information that will definitely help you.

How Does Pregnancy Test Work?

First of all, you have to know how pregnancy test works. So, basically you already know how to use the home pregnancy test, right? It is very easy. You only need to sit on the toilet and then urinate on the testing stick.

The stick will detect HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) or pregnancy hormone in your urine. If the result is negative, there are two possibilities. Firstly, your urine doesn’t contain pregnancy hormone which is the sign of you not being pregnant. But there is also the second possibility. The result is negative not because you are not pregnant but because you take the test too early and your body has not produced enough pregnancy hormones.

When Is the Right Time to Take the Test?

So, let’s move to the most important question. How to make sure that the time is right to take the test? Actually, the reliability of the test will be determined by the quality of the home pregnancy test kit itself. So, as long as you choose a good kit from a reputable brand, the test is almost 100% accurate.

However, no matter how good the test kit is, the result will still be negative if you take it too early. The earlier you take the test, the more unreliable the result will be. To get the most accurate pregnancy test result, it is best to take the test one day after your period due date. But if you have irregular period, it will be best to take the test around three weeks after the last time you have unprotected sex because the pregnancy hormone will be produced two days after conception.
