Rapid test-What is a pregnancy test?
Home pregnancy tests (also called HPTs) detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. When a fertilized egg implants into your uterine wall, the placenta begins to grow, releasing hCG into your bloodstream. Some home pregnancy tests can detect hCG in your urine six days before your missed period. For example, with the Clearblue® Early Detection Pregnancy Test, 71% of pregnancies can be detected 6 days before the missed period (5 days before the expected period).> Calculate when I can test
