It’s okay to feel a very wide range of emotions and flitter between them.

Home pregnancy tests are considered to be highly accurate if you take them at the right time. For those of us who are unable to wait until you miss your period, you need to find a test that detects lower levels of the hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin, typically just referred to as HCG.Acne Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that’s hot or painful to touch. Acne most commonly develops on the face. HCG is produced in your body once a fertilized egg implants in your uterus. Then, it takes 48 hours for the levels to double, but that doesn’t mean the pregnancy can be detected just yet. The levels need to keep doubling until they’re at a level your pregnancy test can detect.

If you’re not sure when your next period is due, aim to test at least 21 days after you last had unprotected sex. What other kinds of pregnancy tests are there? When you take your First Response Early Detection pregnancy test from the first day of your expected period, your results will be over 99% accurate.

The most sensitive pregnancy tests can detect 10mIU/ml and some of these can be used before your period is due. However, the NHS generally advises that you take a pregnancy test from the first day of a missed period. Whether you're trying to conceive or not, if you think you might be pregnant the last thing you need to worry about is whether or not you can trust your pregnancy test results. We've consulted maternity health experts as well as Mumsnet users - the largest online network of mums in the UK - to help narrow down a shortlist of the best pregnancy tests currently available, from those you can use up to six days before a missed period to others which give you your answer in just 45 seconds. Home pregnancy tests all work in the same way. They look for the HCG human in your urine, and based on how much of that hormone is found, the darker the line turns. Typically, you never want to test before eight days post ovulation. Your body needs time to send the fertilized egg down your fallopian tubes, and the egg needs to implant into your uterine walls and start to develop the HCG hormone that pregnancy tests detect.
