What is the average time it takes for a pregnancy test to show? A pregnancy test can be a very useful tool for a woman who is worried about her irregular periods. Another reason to have a pregnancy test is a missed period and other indicators that could indicate your pregnancy. For some, the question of how long until a pregnancy test shows is a matter of panic. For others, it may be the failure to use contraception or a missed period. It is important to know how long it will take for a pregnancy test to show in each case. It is best for pregnant women to wait at the very least two days after their sex before they take their first test. Allowing their bodies to get the time they need to become detectable levels hCG (human chorionic goesnadotropin) gives them the opportunity. The majority of cases are where women have detectable levels hCG seven to 12 days after successful implantation. The first indication of pregnancy is a missed period. If a woman does not miss her period, she should wait at least a week before taking a pregnancy test. The best time to take a pregnancy test is one to two weeks after sex. This is due to the higher level of hCG in early morning urine. Even if some tests promise results as soon as five days after sex, this is not a reliable sign of pregnancy. Four days after you missed your period it is pointless testing because your period may be too late to allow for a test. Some women are not willing to wait 10 days before they have children. They get the best results the sooner they wait. Even though early pregnancy tests might detect a possible pregnancy, they often are incorrect. Moreover, the time of day that a woman takes the test plays an important role. It is better to test in the morning because it will yield a more accurate result. If you’re concerned about an unintended pregnancy, it is worth talking to your doctor about getting a pregnancy test. Also, a pregnancy test may detect the presence of a baby prior to your period. If the hCG level has reached a specific level, the pregnancy test may show positive results. In day 2, the level of hCG should be at least 60% The test’s accuracy will depend on when it is done. Tests should be taken in the early morning. It is easier to interpret pregnancy tests results in the early morning. A positive pregnancy test usually shows a result if the hCG levels in your blood have at least reached 60%. If your hCG levels are at least 60%, it is likely that you’re pregnant. However, if the test was done a few days before you became pregnant it may not be possible. You should not wait until after your next period. If you missed your period, the best time to get a pregnancy test is after a missed period.
