FAQs & Answers
- What is hCG and why is it important in pregnancy testing? hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It's important because most pregnancy tests detect its presence to confirm pregnancy.
- Can I get a false negative on a pregnancy test if I'm pregnant with twins? Yes, false negatives can occur, especially if the test is taken too early or if the hCG levels are not high enough yet for the test to detect.
- When is the best time to take a pregnancy test? The best time to take a pregnancy test is after a missed period, although tests can detect pregnancy before this if hCG levels are high enough.
- How accurate are home pregnancy tests? Home pregnancy tests are generally about 99% accurate when used correctly after a missed period.
