Both types of test measure a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which comes into play rapidly after the first few days of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>The urine pregnancy test is more common than the blood pregnancy test, as it can be carried out in the comfort of your own home and is generally less expensive. The urine pregnancy test is generally more accurate three days before the absence of menstruation, or two weeks after conception.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the blood pregnancy test can detect smaller amounts of hCG in your blood, which means you can get accurate results sooner (7 to 12 days after conception).<\/p>\n<p>However, although you may be anxious to know the result, hCG levels (which are detected in your urine) increase the longer you wait to take the pregnancy test.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth bearing in mind that ovulation isn&#8217;t like clockwork, which can affect the time at which hCG can be detected.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the accuracy of pregnancy tests varies from person to person. That&#8217;s why we like to take three and wait for the first day of our missed period, and a final one following several days of late period, just in case.<\/p>\n<p>The Plusbaby test pack contains 3 tests so you can do the test twice more. We advise you to repeat the test on the day your period is due and\/or on your second late period day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"woocommerce columns-3 blog-products-sts\"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n<li class=\"product type-product post-29068 status-publish first instock product_cat-supplements product_tag-complements product_tag-men has-post-thumbnail purchasable product-type-simple\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/en\/product\/plusfertimen\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/complements-alimentaires-pour-la-fertilite-masculine-en-Suisse-600x600.webp\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"complements-alimentaires-pour-la-fertilite-masculine-en-Suisse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/complements-alimentaires-pour-la-fertilite-masculine-en-Suisse-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/complements-alimentaires-pour-la-fertilite-masculine-en-Suisse-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/complements-alimentaires-pour-la-fertilite-masculine-en-Suisse-100x100.webp 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><h2 class=\"woocommerce-loop-product__title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"fertimen_%E2%80%93_Vegan_Multivitamins_for_Male_Fertility\"><\/span>+fertimen \u2013 Vegan Multivitamins for Male Fertility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div class=\"star-rating\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Rated 4.80 out of 5\"><span style=\"width:96%\">Rated <strong class=\"rating\">4.80<\/strong> out of 5<\/span><\/div>\n\t<span class=\"price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&#67;&#72;&#70;<\/span>&nbsp;55.90<\/bdi><\/span><span class=\"bos4w-or-subscribe\"> - or subscribe and save 10%<\/span><\/span>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"xcp-hidden-id\" value=\"29068\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/produit\/plusfertimen\/\" aria-describedby=\"woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link_describedby_29068\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button\" data-product_id=\"29068\" data-product_sku=\"COMP003\" aria-label=\"Add to cart: &ldquo;+fertimen \u2013 Vegan Multivitamins for Male Fertility&rdquo;\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-success_message=\"&ldquo;+fertimen \u2013 Vegan Multivitamins for Male Fertility&rdquo;

Incorrect results can occur. Here are a few things that can lead to a false or invalid pregnancy test result:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lines that appear:<\/strong> every brand is different, so often certain factors can lead to unclear lines that can be mistaken for a positive result. Be sure to read the instructions on your pregnancy test to find out how long to wait to check the result. It&#8217;s also important to check the instructions to avoid false negative results, as you may not have waited long enough to see the result of the pregnancy test.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent miscarriage or abortion:<\/strong> If you have recently had a miscarriage or abortion, this means that you have recently had high levels of hCG in your urine. Although these levels are decreasing, it is at a slower rate, and it takes an average of 19 days for the hormone to leave your system completely. You could then have a false positive.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/ectopic-pregnancy\/\">Ectopic pregnancy<\/a>:<\/strong> An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside the womb, usually in the fallopian tubes. Unfortunately, ectopic pregnancies do not become normal pregnancies and are instead medical emergencies. That said, it is possible to get a false positive result if you have an ectopic pregnancy, as it always results in high levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/en\/blog\/when-to-do-a-pregnancy-test-calculation\/\">hCG<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>User error:<\/strong> We&#8217;re only human, after all! A pregnancy test comes with specific instructions. The most common mistakes are: peeing on the wrong side of the absorbent strip, not peeing long enough on the strip, waiting too long to read the results (or not waiting long enough) &#8211; the list goes on. Try to take a deep breath before taking the test, read the instructions and if in doubt, take another one.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_having_my_period_affect_the_results\"><\/span>Does having my period affect the results?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, not at all! As the\u00a0 test detects the hCG hormone in your urine, it has little to do with your period. What&#8217;s more, having your period is a sign that you don&#8217;t need to take a pregnancy test.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_if_I_need_to_take_a_test\"><\/span>How do I know if I need to take a\u00a0 test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering, you probably should. You can&#8217;t put a price on peace of mind. Think of it this way: no form of contraception is 100% effective and mistakes can happen. It&#8217;s better to find out early and be relieved that you&#8217;re not pregnant or to think about what you&#8217;re going to do in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you haven&#8217;t had your period, if your breasts hurt or if you don&#8217;t feel like yourself, your body is telling you to take a pregnancy test. This can be scary, which is why we suggest you get into the habit of taking a pregnancy test regularly. It may sound crazy, but as we&#8217;ve said, mistakes can happen and you&#8217;ll feel much better knowing the result, whatever it is.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_get_rid_of_a_few_myths_shall_we\"><\/span>Let&#8217;s get rid of a few myths, shall we?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a pregnancy test raises a lot of questions, it&#8217;s also the subject of a lot of myths. We&#8217;ve decided to shed some light on all the rumours about pregnancy tests and provide the answers women deserve.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_no_1_The_result_of_a_pregnancy_test_is_immediately_accurate\"><\/span>Myth no. 1: The result of a pregnancy test is immediately accurate.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We can&#8217;t stress enough how invalid this myth is. If your body doesn&#8217;t yet realise that it&#8217;s carrying a child, how can you expect a stick you urinate on to tell you if you are? It&#8217;s very important to wait until you&#8217;ve got your period before taking a pregnancy test. Otherwise, your result will probably mean nothing. We know it&#8217;s difficult, but hang in there and wait.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_The_new_urine_pregnancy_test_can_also_confirm_the_sex_of_the_baby\"><\/span>Myth 2: The new urine pregnancy test can also confirm the sex of the baby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Although technology is pretty impressive these days, we&#8217;re not there yet. Unfortunately, you&#8217;ll have to wait until you&#8217;re between 16 and 20 weeks pregnant before your doctor can tell you the sex of your baby.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_No_3_Digital_tests_are_more_accurate_than_non-digital_tests\"><\/span>Myth No. 3: Digital tests are more accurate than non-digital tests.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve missed your period, all\u00a0 tests have roughly the same accuracy. Since women have to wait until they&#8217;ve missed their period to take a pregnancy test (to avoid a false result), digital tests are no more accurate than non-digital tests, but they are much more expensive.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_No_4_Theres_no_bad_time_to_take_a_test\"><\/span>Myth No. 4: There&#8217;s no bad time to take a test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Believe it or not, there is a wrong time to take a pregnancy test. Every woman should wait until she&#8217;s missed her period to take a pregnancy test. If you have irregular periods, wait until after the longest menstrual cycle you usually have to take a pregnancy test. It&#8217;s also important to consider the time of day when you take the test.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors we spoke to explained that taking a pregnancy test early in the morning avoids the risk of a false result. This is because urine is more concentrated when you wake up before drinking water, making it easier for pregnancy tests to detect hCG.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_no_5_False_positives_dont_exist\"><\/span>Myth no. 5: False positives don&#8217;t exist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Although not as common as false-negative results, false-positive pregnancy tests do exist. A number of factors can lead to a false positive result, including lines, a previous miscarriage or abortion, and certain medications used to treat infertility.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_6_Stress_can_cause_a_false_positive_result\"><\/span>Myth 6: Stress can cause a false positive result.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Although waiting for your result can be stressful, stress has no effect on the levels of hCG in your urine and therefore does not affect the accuracy of your result.<\/p>\n<p>The realisation can be scary and daunting enough in itself, so don&#8217;t believe everything you read and hear about how to go about it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introducing_Plusbaby\"><\/span>Introducing Plusbaby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here are the pregnancy tests we&#8217;ve chosen for you.<\/p>\n<p>Get the clear answer you need as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Get peace of mind. Our high sensitivity, early result pregnancy tests are clinically proven to be over 99% accurate* and work up to 3 days before your expected period.<\/p>\n<p>Easy-to-use pregnancy tests with simple instructions in French, German and Italian. The test results are easy to read, and no application is required.<\/p>\n<p>But if the test is negative, don&#8217;t panic, it may just mean that the HCG level is too low to be detected. The pack contains 3 tests so you can repeat the test twice more. We advise you to repeat the test on the day your period is due and\/or on your 2nd day of delay.<\/p>\n<p>Women with irregular cycles cannot really know the expected date of their next period. In this case, you should know that our test can be used 12 to 14 days after trying to conceive in order to detect pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Plusbaby\"><\/span>What is Plusbaby?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Plusbaby is a home pregnancy test, approved by gynaecologists and delivered discreetly to your door.
