The Urine Pregnancy Test checks for the presence of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) hormone in urine — a hormone produced during pregnancy. A pregnancy test detects pregnancy by checking a particular hormone HCG in the urine. A urine pregnancy test can detect HCG after ten days of conception. It is recommended to use the first-morning urine for the test to get accurate results.
It is a quick, non-invasive test used to:
Confirm pregnancy
Check for early signs of pregnancy
Monitor in-home or clinical settings
Qualitative: Tells you whether hCG is present (Positive/Negative)
Usually done using a test strip or midstream device
🌅 Best time: Early morning urine sample (first urine of the day) is preferred for higher hCG concentration.
❌ No fasting needed
🚱 Avoid excess fluid intake before the test as it can dilute urine and affect results
