What is the earliest you can detect pregnancy?
It is recommended that you wait until you have missed a period to take a home test. A missed period is often one of the first signs of pregnancy. If you cannot wait that long to find out and you know the day you may have conceived, then the earliest you can take a test would be 14 days from possible conception.
How can you test for early pregnancy at home?
Women can conduct an at-home pregnancy test by testing a sample of urine about two weeks after conception, or about the time a period is due. Home pregnancy tests have become more accurate in the last decade. If the test is used correctly, most home pregnancy tests are 97% to 99% accurate.
Does clear blue early detection work?
If used on or after the day of the expected period, the Clearblue Ultra Early Pregnancy Test is more than 99% accurate at detecting pregnancy.
Do cheap pregnancy tests work?
The results of less expensive pregnancy tests will still be up to 99 percent accurate when you use them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As for the downsides? Cheaper options have fewer features that might make pregnancy testing more convenient, like a plastic handle or a slightly shorter wait time.
What does 3+ weeks mean on clearblue?
