Pregnancy Info HOME

Ladies you will just have to keep testing until you either get a period, go to the doctor, or get a (+) HPT. I knew I was preggo right away because I was little nauseus and had a headache and sore BB"s. I was also so tired. I kept taking the HPT's because I felt the symptoms but it took a while for it to show up. My advice is to wait longer than the recommended time to read the test (just don't totally trust the answer) All the neg tests that I had thrown in the trash eventually turned pos. While you can't exactly trust those tests as definitive, it might clue you in that in the next couple of days you might see a (+) HPT. BTW, I am a lab tech and I run preg tests all day long. The basic preg test performed in a lab is absolutely no different than what you can do at your house. The indicator is made of EXACTLY the same color read. The only difference is that instead of placing urine on the indicator, you place serum because it is less subject to dilution. That is why when you are testing at home, you should do it as soon as you wake in the morning as your first morning void when your HCG level is at its most concentrated. Then you can test every three days--as HCG levels should double--until you get a (+).
