Receiving an accurate result from a pregnancy test is an essential first step. If you’re wondering whether you’re pregnant, you need an answer you can depend on.
At-home pregnancy tests are accurate, but you must pay special attention to their directions. Multiple factors, including when you take the test, can affect the result.

Do I Need a Pregnancy Test?
Experiencing pregnancy symptoms is often the first sign that you could be pregnant. However, you can’t rely on them to confirm a pregnancy.
You might have irregular cycles or haven’t had symptoms. Symptoms like a missed period or fatigue can sometimes indicate other things, like hormonal changes or another health condition.
To get answers, you’ll want to take a pregnancy test to confirm a potential pregnancy. Then, you’ll need an ultrasound to verify that your pregnancy is developing normally and located in the uterus.
If you do have symptoms, here are some you may encounter:
- A missed period
- Nausea (with or without vomiting)
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Tender, swollen breasts
- Constipation
- Cramping
- Nasal congestion
- Bloating
- Moodiness
- Food aversions
A pregnancy test can give you an initial answer, but at-home tests can be inaccurate if taken incorrectly or too early. Your body needs time for hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to develop, which indicates a pregnancy.
Waiting a few days after a missed period or several weeks after sexual intercourse is ideal. But if you’re wondering whether you’ve received an accurate result, we’re here.
