Pregnancy Test Information
If you're trying to get pregnant, the first thing you need to do is get all the information on pregnancy tests.
The most affordable way to test for pregnancy is to preform a home pregnancy tests. These test strips detect levels of hormones in your urine that build up as the pregnancy develops. They are highly accurate, very affordable, and available online and in drugstores and markets in two different forms.
Types of Pregnancy Tests
The first form involves collecting urine in a cup, and dipping the test strip in the urine. You can buy pregnancy home test strips here for as low as $0.50 each!
The second form is called "midstream" tests. They are a little more expensive, but allow you to test your urine without bothering to collect it in a cup. This is what trying-to-conceive women often call POAS - or Pee On A Stick... Buy midstream pregnancy tests here for as low as $1.80 each.
When to Test
No matter which test format you decide to go with, you can start testing as soon as 6-8 days after conception, though tests become more accurate, the more time has passed. Other brands of tests may be less accurate than the ones linked to here.
If You Test Positive
You need to speak with your doctor right away. Your doctor can take blood based pregnancy tests to confirm the result. Early care from your doctor will help keep you and your baby healthy.
If You Test Negative
You may still be pregnant. The hormone that home pregnancy tests detect builds steadily as the pregnancy continues. Test again in a few days or a week, if you still haven't had a period.
