The first home pregnancy test was created and marketed in 1978.
Pregnancy tests work by analysing the amount of pregnancy hormone present in your body. Generally, a urine pregnancy test is less accurate for two reasons: a) the hormone is being detected through urine, which can alter moreso than blood, depending on how much water you drink and whether or not you use first morning urine (first morning urine is better for pregnancy tests). b) the pregnancy test itself isn't as detailed and reliable as an analysed blood test. The moment the sperm fertilises the egg, the hormone pregnancy starts circulating in your blood. A blood pregnancy test ought to give clear results within a couple of days. Your GP may want to take more bloods a week or so afterwards to verify the result.
No. Home pregnancy tests are not 100 percent accurate and reliable. Also you may have taken the test to early and should try again in a few days.
The best way to take a pregnancy test is to take it first thing in the morning, that is when pregnancy hormones are most detectably.
If you think you know when your zygote implanted, I would wait 3-4 days and do a first response home pregnancy test with your first urination of the day. If its negitive, repeat after 3 more days. I have had 5 babies and could feel the implantation with all of them. It was mild cramping that usually lasted 1-2 days on and off. Depending on how much hcg your fetus is producing, or more like the placenta, depends on how quick your home test will be positive. Mine shows up right away.
