First Things First. Let’s Make Sure You’re Pregnant
Taking a Test Is the Best Way To Find Out
If you haven’t taken a test yet, that’s the best way to know. If your period is late, you can take a test right now and know for sure. These tests are over 99% accurate when used correctly and taken after a missed period.
If you need an affordable and accurate test, you can often find them at your local dollar store.
Here’s some tips to get accurate results
Follow these step-by-step instructions to get an accurate result.
Wait until the day of your missed period or later (testing too early can lead to false negatives).
Do it right when you get up in the morning (your first pee in the morning is best for accurate results).
Follow the instructions exactly as they read.
If you get a positive result, it’s very likely correct – false positives are rare.
