Buying a home pregnancy test is almost as exciting as buying that first pack of nappies, ready for your baby’s birth. And seeing the positive result appear is a moment you’ll never forget. Home pregnancy tests work by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in your urine. Provided you use them properly, they are very accurate. In this section you’ll find everything you need to know about your pregnancy test – how soon you can test and how to make sure you get an accurate result. We’ve also got some useful tips if your periods are irregular and you’re not sure when to test. Or are you convinced you’re pregnant despite a negative result? We’ve got some possible answers.
