ACCURATE METHODS OF TESTING PREGNANCY
While the above methods can be fun, it is essential to note that the results are really not that accurate. If you genuinely want to test for pregnancy, there are more precise ways of testing.
1. Pink/Blue dye test – This method of testing pregnancy is usually pretty accurate.
These tests can be inexpensive, so you can test multiple times to confirm the results.
The dye can sometimes be challenging to read, though, so you may want to try other methods as well.
2. Digital test – This method can be accurate, and it is easy to read because there is no doubt what the results are.
It typically says “pregnant” or “not pregnant,” which leaves zero confusion as to what the results of the test are.
3. Blood test – This is the most accurate method of testing for pregnancy is to go to a doctor and have a blood test.
This test can detect a pregnancy almost immediately after conception, so while urine tests may not pick up a very early pregnancy, a blood test will be able to identify a pregnancy with 100% accuracy.
