The Types of Pregnancy Tests
from: Childbirth & Pregnancy ArchivesAll the signs are there, the bloated feeling, a touch of nausea, and sore or tender breasts, and most telling is the absence of your normal monthly cycle, so of course pregnancy is the first thing that comes to mind.
There are several methods for determining if a little one is going to make an appearance in nine months. You can take a home pregnancy test, one online, or make an appointment with the doctor. Regardless of the results of an online or home test, if it is positive an appointment with your doctor will confirm the results and get you started on a healthy pregnancy.
Any woman who has had children or suspected that they might be pregnant, is probably familiar with using a home pregnancy test. Many jokes have been made about peeing on sticks at many baby showers, and home tests are typically wand like devices, made to be placed in the urine stream, or in a container holding urine.
After about 1 minute, the results can be clearly seen by a line in the test window, and the appearance of a line means a positive pregnancy result, but no line means the likelihood of pregnancy is low. These tests work by detecting the presence or lack of HCG, the most common hormone found in pregnancy.
There are a number of different websites giving pregnancy curious women a way to test the probability of pregnancy. but obviously without some physical evidence to go on, no online pregnancy test is going to be foolproof.
An online test will ask a series of questions relating to the last period date, the appearance of any symptoms, and any other physical changes, and the program then calculates the probability of a pregnancy. These tests were designed to instruct the user if there is enough cause to take a home pregnancy test, or contact their doctor.
A quick web search will yield a large number of online tests to choose from, but the most accurate of all is the pregnancy test performed by a doctor.
They may use a urine test similar to a home test, in addition to performing a pelvic exam. Certain internal signals like changes in the cervix, tip off medical professionals as to the probability of an existing pregnancy, and this is also a good time to receive medical advice pertaining to care and nutrition for a strong, healthy pregnancy. Most of the time, a new mother to be has already taken a home pregnancy test, and the visit by the doctor is just for confirmation.
Whichever pregnancy test you choose to use, proper medical care and knowledge about your pregnant condition, are the key to bringing your little bundle home safe and sound.
