Pregnancy Test Kits
How Do Pregnancy Tests Work?
Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine, which is produced by the body during pregnancy. The more sensitive the test, the sooner it can detect pregnancy. Many of the best pregnancy tests for early detection can identify hCG levels before your missed period.
Types of Pregnancy Tests
-
Manual vs. Digital Pregnancy Tests: A digital pregnancy test provides clear results with a "pregnant" or "not pregnant" display, while a manual test usually shows lines that you need to interpret. Digital vs. manual pregnancy tests are both highly accurate, but digital tests tend to be more expensive.
-
At-Home Pregnancy Test Kits: Available over-the-counter, these tests include everything you need to check for pregnancy in the privacy of your home. Popular online pregnancy test kits like First Response pregnancy test and Clearblue pregnancy test are highly regarded for their accuracy and early detection abilities.
-
Pregnancy Test Strips: These cheap pregnancy tests offer a more affordable option, and although they don’t come with a plastic holder like many other tests, they are equally accurate when used correctly.
