If you are in a season of life where the word pregnancy gives you anxiety and unsettledness, know that you are not alone. It’s natural to want to take a pregnancy test to relieve your anxiety and know for sure. And there are all kinds of pregnancy tests today to choose from that will allow you to take a test pretty much anywhere and at any time.
However, did you know that there is an optimal time to take a pregnancy test to get the most accurate results?
Pregnancy tests measure a hormone called hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and it’s the hormone that signals to your body that it needs to prepare your body for pregnancy. Typically, hCG levels start small and gradually increase over time. This is the main reason why it is important to not take a pregnancy test too early as you want to make sure that you get an accurate result.
Studies have shown urine-based tests are the most accurate about a week after you miss your period. That’s when the hCG levels in your body are high enough to be detected on a pregnancy test.
