There are certain brands of home pregnancy tests that can detect the HCG hormone which is present in pregnancy at very low levels. If it's listed on the packet, try and buy a brand that says it can detect from 20mIU/ml. Some tests are more sensitive to early pregnancies than others, but don't worry, most pregnancy tests are reliable and accurate up to between 97% and 98%.

If u take a pregnancy test and the results come out two lines but the the other line appears light

First the test should done after 1 week of delay you period then if there is 2 line means 95% you are pregnant but to confirm you should do Humangnatotropin test in the lab

Does it matter what time of day I take my pregnancy test?

It\'s best to use the
first urine of the morning to take a pregnancy test with as it\'s the most
concentrated and HCG levels will be higher but it\'s also ok to do it at other
times of the day.

Are there different types of pregnancy tests?

Yes there are two
different types of pregnancy tests. One is a blood test for the hormone HCG
which you would have to do through your doctor. The other is a urine test which
also detects HCG and can be done through your doctor or using a home pregnancy
kit.

Do pregnancy tests check for any abnormalities?

No, basic pregnancy tests simply check whether you are pregnant or not. They don't give any other information about the fetus. For this you need to do scans and more detailed testing through your doctor.

Can I take a pregnancy test before I have even missed my period?

You can buy
pregnancy tests that are super sensitive and claim to detect pregnancy within 7
days of fertilization but you are more likely to get an accurate result if you
wait longer. Once you have missed your period, you can take a pregnancy test
and it will be easier to detect HCG levels in your urine if you are actually
pregnant.

Is a blood test more accurate than a urine test if I want to find out if I am pregnant or not?

In theory the blood
tests are more accurate if they are qualitative as they measure the amount of
HCG in the blood and therefore register even small amounts early on in the
pregnancy, but urine tests are also fairly accurate and a good option if you
want a quick answer.

I have very tight pain across my lower abdimon. I have also not had mt perriod for 2 months. I have done 2 pregnancy tests and they have come back negative. Could there be other issues.

For some women home pregnancy test kits do not work. It would be best to visit a doctor and have a blood hCG, pregnancy, test done. There is a danger of ectopic, outside the womb, pregnancy which could cause the pain. It could be something as simple as an infection that's causing your problem but you need to visit a doctor and get it sorted out.
