Think you got pregnant? Here are the answers to the most common questions about pregnancy tests.
Can a pregnancy test be wrong
Yes maybe. Let's see why the pregnancy test is wrong:
- you took the test too early;
- the test has expired;
- you did the test incorrectly;
- you have drunk too much liquid.
When can I do a pregnancy test
It is best to take a pregnancy test on the day you determine the delay menses. If you do not keep a calendar of menstruation, it makes sense to start doing this to determine the date of conception.
For a pregnancy test, it is best to use morning urine as it is concentrated.

When is the best time to take a pregnancy test
If you have the following symptoms:
- delay monthly;
- soreness of the mammary glands;
- mild cramps in the lower abdomen;
- scanty spotting;
- fatigue;
- sensitivity to odors;
- morning sickness.
What does it mean if the second strip in the pregnancy test is almost invisible
Even if the test shows a weak streak, it still means that you are pregnant, just the level of hCG is not yet that high. If you want to be sure of this, do another test after 3-4 days.
Which is the best pregnancy test
If you want to find out as soon as possible if you are pregnant, then it is best to donate blood in the laboratory (no earlier than 7 days after the intended conception).
If you want convenience, opt for jet tests that can be used day or night and don't need to collect urine anywhere.
If you find it difficult to put the test under the stream, and it is easier for you to collect urine in a special jar, then buy the cheapest paper test.
