When and How to Do a Pregnancy Test?
When is a Pregnancy Test Done?
The time for performing a pregnancy test varies depending on the type of test preferred. Women who have had unprotected sexual intercourse and suspect pregnancy can have a blood pregnancy test immediately after the intercourse, while for a urine pregnancy test, it is necessary to wait for a missed period.
How is a Pregnancy Test Done?
While blood pregnancy tests are performed by healthcare institutions, urine pregnancy tests can be done both in healthcare institutions and at home. Test kits sold under the name of home pregnancy tests help women question their pregnancy suspicions themselves. If these test kits are used after a missed period, the accuracy of the test increases. For early urine pregnancy tests, it is also recommended to wait as much as possible in the same way.
