F.A.Q.
When Should I Take A Pregnancy Test?
Pregnancy tests detect a pregnancy hormone known as hCG in your blood and urine. Taking the test at the right time is critical to getting accurate results.
Doctors suggest not taking a test until at least the first day of your missed period. However, if your monthly cycle is irregular, it may be difficult to determine the day.
The longer you wait, the more accurate the results will be.
Why Do I Need An Ultrasound?
A positive pregnancy test and a missed period may not be enough to determine if you are pregnant. Over one in four pregnancies end in an early miscarriage. Because it takes a woman's body time to return to pre-pregnancy hormone levels, you can get a positive pregnancy test and no longer be pregnant. In addition to confirming a viable pregnancy, ultrasound determines how far along you are and your pregnancy's location.
Could I Have An STI?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you think. Because many STIs have no symptoms, you could have one and not realize it. However, left untreated, STIs can cause serious health complications later on. Doctors recommend regular testing, particularly before engaging in sex with a new partner.
