best pregnancy test

The urine pregnancy test measures the presence of a specific hormone of pregnancy urine: human chronics gonadotropin or hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin or human chorionic gonadotrophin). The amount of hCG in your body doubles every 2-3 days from implantation of the fertilized egg.

How and when to test?

The test can usually be done at any time of day. It need not be done with the first morning urine. However, avoid drinking too much liquid before the test. The tests today are very sensitive; you can start using them 9-10 days after fertilization (that is to say even before the first day of your missed period). If the result is negative, and if you suspect a pregnancy anyway, you must wait at least 2 days before re-testing because it may be that you did the first test too early.

And ovulation tests?

The ovulation test detects Luteinizing hormone (LH), whose concentration increases rapidly 24 to 36 hours before ovulation. Detecting this LH surge will help you identify the two days of a cycle where you're most fertile and therefore most likely to conceive.

How does it work?

The ovulation test detects urinary Luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. You must have a test every day around your ovulation period alleged (that is to say approximately 14 days before the arrival of your next period). If the test is positive, you have detected your surge of Luteinizing hormone (LH). So you've reached your peak fertility.
