✨ How Early Can a Pregnancy Test Be Accurate? ✨

Are you anxiously waiting to find out if you’re pregnant? Knowing when to take a pregnancy test can save you from unnecessary confusion. Here’s what you need to know:

🔍 How Pregnancy Tests Work
Pregnancy tests detect hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone your body produces after a fertilized egg implants in your uterus. Implantation typically occurs 6–10 days after ovulation, but hCG levels may take a few days to rise enough to be detected.

📅 When Can You Test?
• Early Testing: Some tests claim accuracy as early as 6 days before your missed period, but false negatives are more likely because hCG levels might still be too low.
• Best Time to Test: For the most reliable results, test on the day of your missed period or later. By then, hCG levels are high enough for most tests to detect.
• Morning Testing: Use your first-morning urine, as it’s more concentrated and more likely to show accurate results early.

❓ What If It’s Negative?
If you test early and get a negative result, don’t panic! Your hCG levels may not have risen enough yet. Wait 2–3 days and test again.

💡 Pro Tip: Always read the instructions on your test for the best accuracy, and if you’re unsure, consult your doctor for a blood test.
