When should I take a pregnancy test?
Pregnancy tests detect the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine or blood. Experts recommend waiting until the first day after your missed period before taking a test.
Why do I need an ultrasound?
Certain pregnancy facts can only be detected with an ultrasound. For instance, you need to know if your pregnancy is growing or if you have miscarried. You also need to know exactly how many weeks you’ve been pregnant and if it’s in the correct location.
Could i have an STI?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than most people realize. Many do not have symptoms, which is why most people do not get tested. But even without symptoms, you can pass an STI on to your partner.
