General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
A blood test (Beta HCG) has a near 100% accuracy rate and can detect pregnancy at the earliest stage (even before a missed period). Pharmacy-bought urine tests are practical, but they only provide reliable results when performed after a missed period.
To get the most accurate result from home urine tests, you should wait until at least 2-3 days past your expected menstrual period. The first urine upon waking up in the morning is preferred because it is when the hormone is most concentrated.
No. Because hormone levels are not affected by food intake, a pregnancy blood test can be performed at any time of the day, on a full or empty stomach.
