This may seem like a simple question; however, it is easier than you may think to make mistakes when taking these tests and get false results.

Experts recommend waiting for the 1st day of a missed period. You will see this recommendation on each test pack you buy. However, many women do not want to wait so long and start testing 10 days after ovulation. Thus, many women get the wrong results.  The 2nd strip signifies human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in woman’s urine and it can be invisible or hardly visible and you won’t be able to interpret the result in a proper way. That is why we advise women to test their blood for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This test shows the result 10 days after a probable conception. Of course, it is not free of charge but you are free to test your blood for this hormone anyway. Think about your pregnancy while performing this test and do not worry in vain.

At What Time Should I do This Test?

It is recommended to do this test in the morning after you awaken in order to have a maximum concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in your blood. It should be enough to see the 2nd stripe. This advice is in regard to the early weeks of possible pregnancy.
