Home Pregnancy Test.
I am really eager to be pregnant. When will a home pregnancy test be positive?
Pregnancy tests can be positive (show you're pregnant) even before you miss a menstrual period Most tests are positive 7 to 10 days after you conceive; this includes blood, urine and home pregnancy tests. To save you money and emotional energy, wait until you miss your period before having a test.
When my sister-in-law thought she was pregnant, her doctor told her to do a home pregnancy test first. Why?
Home pregnancy tests are so accurate now that your doctor may rely on them as an initial screening for pregnancy, before you go into the office. Sometimes a woman misses a period because of stress, excessive physical exertion or dieting and is not pregnant. If your test is positive, make an appointment to see your physician.
I did a home pregnancy test last night, and it was positive. How soon should I see my doctor?
Most doctors will want to see you within a few weeks, unless you are having problems and need to go in right away. Good prenatal care is an important part of having a healthy baby. Don't wait for weeks or months to make an appointment; starting early is important for your health and the health of your baby.
