A pregnancy test detects the hCG hormone inside your body. You can begin the process with an at-home pregnancy test from your local drugstore. Most at-home pregnancy tests are 98% to 99% accurate when used as instructed.
The best time to take a pregnancy test is at least one day after a missed period for the most accurate results. This allows your body the time needed to produce the right amount of hCG hormone to be accurately detected in a test. Even though hCG can be detected with a pregnancy test as early as four days before your missed period, it’s more sensitive in the days following.
If you receive positive pregnancy testing at our center, you may qualify for a limited obstetric ultrasound before you proceed with your options. An ultrasound goes one step further to confirm your pregnancy is viable, healthy, and more.
