In today's society, when we want something, we want it now! And with pregnancy, it is no different.\n\nYou can see ads for pregnancy tests everywhere! Each ad claims to be easier and more accurate than the next pregnancy test. How do you sort through all of the information? \n\nLet's begin with the basics. \n\nThere are two basic types of pregnancy tests. Blood and Urine. They are both used to test for the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropic (hCG). hCG is secreted in your urine and detected in your blood beginning at different times during pregnancy. \n\nBlood test are the more accurate of the two types of testing. They can not only tell you if hCG is present, but a quantitative hCG can tell you how much hCG is present. This can be helpful in dating a pregnancy, or watching the levels to observe the well-being of the pregnancy. \n\nhCG usually doubles about every two days during the first few weeks of pregnancy.). \nUrine tests are accurate for what they detect the presence of hCG. However, the amounts of hCG detectable by home pregnancy tests and lab urine pregnancy test varies. \n\nThe most sensitive test that I have found measures about 25 mIU/ml of hCG in the urine. While this information is not printed on the box, you can always call the toll-free advice line on the back of the box, or look at some of the lists that have been compiled. \n\nHome tests are accurate enough if you follow the instructions. This means reading all of the instructions before you start the testing. \n\nIf you choose to use a home urine pregnancy test, you should use the following advice to help make the test more accurate:\n\n\nIf you are not using first morning urine, make sure that your urine has been in your bladder for four hours. \nDo not drink excessive amounts of fluid in an attempt to increase the volume of urine, this can dilute the urine, making hCG not as detectable. \nIf you are taking any medications, including fertility drugs, read the package inserts before testing to see if your medications will affect the results. \nIf your pregnancy test is positive make sure that you seek prenatal care from a qualified doctor or midwife. \n\ngo to http://www.peeonastick.com (all about pregnancy tests)\n\nDoes a Late Menstrual Period Mean I Am Pregnant?\nOne of the first signs of pregnancy is a late period. But missed periods do not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. If you’re sexually active and have missed a period, then it is worthwhile to take a pregnancy test. You may still want to take a pregnancy test even if you have been using contraception. Since birth control can fail, taking a pregnancy test will allow you to rule out one of the possible causes of missed periods. Your local pregnancy center can provide a test for free. \n\nIf you have a late period and a negative pregnancy test, then consider whether or not you’ve recently been sick, gained or lost a significant amount of weight, have been under excessive stress or have taken any new medications. All of these things can affect your menstrual cycle and cause you to have irregular periods. Additionally, certain types of birth control, including the birth control pill, Depo-Provera and Norplant, can cause you to have menstrual cycles disturbances. \n\ngood luck

Try Planned Parenthood, they do tests that you pay for there on your own and it's all confidential.  There are many early signs of pregnancy and it's different for all women so it's hard to tell you for sure if you are preg or just making yourself believe you are.  Breast tenderness, nausea, extreme hunger, extreme thirst are all signs also.  A missed period is not the best way to tell b/c some women go through their entire pregnancy with a period.  Go get checked though b/c it might be something worse.

if you like the pencil it is in then keep it, but you can go to Dollar Tree and buy like a 10 pack for a dollar.  You can't buy refills

Get a blood test any time you'd like. They are simple, reliable, and low cost.\n\nYou can also retry the urine test. Many people suggest trying two different brands for best results.\n\nBy the way, if this is your first, the 'feeling' of being pregnant is not very reliable.

home pregnancy tests are accurate usually by one week after a missed period.  time is the essance in the morning after pill, which is what i think you mean. You can call any pharmacist to ask but I think it's only good for hours after unprotected sex.\nIn the us call an agency : Planned Pregnancy and make an appointment as soon as possible.\nIf your an adolescent, think about confiding in a trusted adult but don't go alone for the proceedure. It is an emotional experience but giving birth  and raising a child is an awsome responsibility. but  seek counciling from planned parenthood. they can help you with it all.  good luck

If you are talking about a blood test then it is 100% accurate. With a urine test it depends on whether the levels of HGC (pregnancy hormone) are high enough to be detected, if it is a ver early pregnancy there is a chance that it wouldn't show up on a urine test.

My parents used to do dollar store things for me, crayons for the bathtub, small puzzles, coloring books, etc that aren't that expensive.  Lottery tickets were good too (although they would have to cash them in for me, but I loved scratching them off!)Now I get things like shampoo, soap, things I need!Don't make the mistake of allowing them to have a giant stocking either! It will be easier to fill.They also used to decorate the tree with sticks of bubble gum and candy as an extra bonus!

OK, two true stories. \n\nI had to go to court with my son... he had a few kids threatening him so he took a weapon to school with him for protection. When I went to the court house, my friend went with me. She is a single, attractive woman. As we were waiting in the courtroom for the judge to come in, she kept looking around like she was hunting for something. I asked, "Beth, what are you looking for?" She said, "I am checking out the guys, there are some really good looking guys here!" I replied, "Beth, you are in a CRIMINAL court room. WHY whould you be looking for guys HERE???" \n\nThe other story...\n\nI was 8 months pregnant, big as a VW Bug!\nI was going to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled. My neighbor thought she was pregnant so she asked me to pick up a pregnancy test for her since I was going anyway. I got to the pharmacy and put my prescription in. Then I asked the pharmacist, "Which Pregnancy test would be the best one to get for accuracy?" The pharmacist looked at my huge belly and said, "You mean you don't KNOW???" I still giggle at the incredibility on his face and my friends baby girl will be 20 in December!

okay... this is really weird but I am into selling at flea markets and the nickname that my parents gave me is LeeLee. Freaky!!!! Anyway ....here is what has scored for me in the past.  The dollar store stuff...there are some websites where you can get the odds and ends for a real cheap deal in bulk from the dealers that sell to the dollar stores.   Electronics no matter what it is ... phones...cd players.etc. etc,but you have to find a great buy in order to make any money on this.  These are just a few suggestions,no matter what you decide... have fun and make some money!!!!!

I haven't heard of it. My attitude toward it, however, is to find out WHAT the actual tests consisted of. Though people test products all the time, it does not mean that they tested in a way that could possibly be accurate.

Yes it works and it cost some cash. Side effect you rarely get them but it consist of nausea, headaches ,cramps and fatigue. I didn't get any side effects but the pill cost me 60.00 dollars.

My favorite is Pinecone Research. I get a $5 check each time I respond to a survey and sometimes get to try new products, but it has limited enrollment (not open right now).\n\nI'm also a member of NFO / MySurvey. They don't send out checks every time but give you points so every once in a while I can get a $10 check. Enrollment for this program is currently open.\n\nHowever, don't expect to make much money doing surveys online. I only get surveys to fill out once or twice a week. It's just nice to get an extra check in the mail every once in a while, even if it isn't for a large sum.
