Tests.
The every day common home
test works by recognizing a certain hormone
that is
only present in the urine of woman; this hormone is called human
chorionic gonadotropin and it first appears in the human blood stream
when the fertilized egg implants its self in the wall of to uterus to
begin growing and development. It first appears at about a six day
period since the fertilization has occurred and than rapidly increases
in quantity doubling in amount in about every 2 days. The test is only
able to give a good proper answer after an amount of 14 days has passed
since the fertilized egg has implanted its self in the uterus; it is
also the time most likely for the first period to appear after the
sexual contact has occurred. Still not all the test are accurate enough
to give a proper prediction after only this short of an amount of time.
Research has come up with an answer to the question when the perfect
time to do the test? Would be and that is a week after your expected
period before testing.
In order to sell their
products as best they can, farmaceutical companies claim that the tests
are accurate as soon as the day the woman misses her period. Still,
studies made have shown that this is actually not so true. The fact is
that humans are so different one from another that the level of hGC can
vary a lot from woman to woman especially in the case where a
is
suspected. A study made on
the top 18 test at this
time on the market has shown that only one of them was sensitive enough
to actually give a good correct answer in all the cases. The other ones
were able to do just 16 % of the actual pregnancies. The best time to
do the test is
as said
earlier a week
after the period should have came.
Scientists
have still to develop a truly accurate test in such a way that it is
possible to confirm the
in
a woman the first day after
the period should have
come. The best test was able to pick up only a very faint trace of
hormones in the urine showing a very little positive chance that the
woman was pregnant.
In order to use the test
as correctly as it should certain things must be done. The first would
be to actually check the expiring date on the test. Only after this has
been confirmed to still be valid the woman may proceed to taking the
test. She must also check to see if the test hasn’t gotten in
any contact with moist air or any water. If this is the case or
suspicion do exist using a new one is the best next thing to do.
Reading the instructions is a big must if the test is to be used
correctly. Will some test require the women to pee directly on the test
others may be more demanding requiring only a drop of urine to be
placed at a certain spot on the test.
