Before using a pregnancy test it is essential to be clear about how it works to obtain the best results. Pregnancy makes the woman secrete a hormone called HCG, the test detects this hormone with an effectiveness of 99% so it is a reasonably efficient alternative if applied correctly, and this test can give false negatives if it is not done at the right time.

To do a pregnancy test you must wait a certain time and have a menstrual delay since the HCG hormone is only secreted 15 days after the egg has been fertilized.
