To be sure you know quickly if you are pregnant, after a few days of late period or even a few days before the expected date of your period, the various pregnancy tests offer you good reliability.
Apprehended by some, and very hoped for by others, the pregnancy test allows a woman to know if she is pregnant as soon as she feels the first symptoms or acts a late period. In metropolitan France, more than two million pregnancy tests are sold each year in pharmacies. Although there are different types of tests, they all have the same function: the detection of a pregnancy thanks to the level of the hormone HCG present in the urine. When to take this pregnancy test to ensure a safe result?
Although there are different forms, pregnancy tests all work on the same principle. One of the urine permeates an absorbent wick and ascends by capillary action to a substance which reacts chemically in the presence of the pregnancy hormone. This reaction may take several days. You must therefore wait according to the instructions for use in the leaflet before reading the result. Depending on the form of the test, it is issued in the form of a “ pregnant ” or “not pregnant” label or a colored line . It is also necessary to check for the presence of the small colored band in the control box which means that the urine has ascended to the place of the test substance. If the test is positive, pregnancy is almost certain, false positives are very rare. If it is negative and especially if it was carried out after a delay of only a few days after the presumed date of the rules, it is possible that the level of HCG is simply not yet sufficiently detectable. It is advisable to redo one after a week of waiting. If the period delay lasts and the tests are still negative, it is best to see a doctor who will surely refer to a urine or blood test in the laboratory. The best time to perform this test is in the morning because the hormone is more concentrated in the urine, but it can be done during the day.
