This hormone is also found in non-pregnant women. The amount found in non-pregnant women is between 5-10ml U\/ml.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Early pregnancy tests, on the other hand, are sensitive enough to detect even the hormone increase slightly above this amount.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW193601952\">Human chorionic gonadotropin<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW193601952\">\u00a0(<\/span><span class=\"SpellingError BCX0 SCXW193601952\">hCG<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW193601952\">)<\/span>\u00a0hormone, also called pregnancy hormone, increases day by day with the realization of fertilization. However, the main reason why other tests cannot show positive in the early period even in case of pregnancy is that this hormone has not yet reached the threshold value that the test can measure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The increase in hCG hormone level may be different for each woman. In some women, it reaches the upper levels in a short time, while in some women this period may be later. This may be due to late fertilization. However, it is still a hormone that can rise to such an extent that it can double in 2 days <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">or this reason, it is possible to obtain a positive result in an early pregnancy test performed approximately 8-10 days after intercourse. Thus, you can find out whether you are pregnant in a short time with a simple test that you can do at home.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Accuracy_of_Early_Pregnancy_Test\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What Is the Accuracy of Early Pregnancy Test?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As mentioned, early pregnancy tests can precisely measure the level of hCG hormone. As a result of the research, the hCG hormone value in more than 70% of pregnant women can be as high as the test can measure 4 or 5 days before the menstrual day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, if you do this test at most 5 days before your expected period and the result is negative, this does not mean that you are not 100% pregnant. For the correct result, it is necessary to wait a few more days and repeat the test.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The early pregnancy test applied from the expected menstrual day is almost 99% accurate.

A woman with an average menstrual cycle (about 28 days) should ovulate on an average of 14 days, counted from the first day of her last menstrual period. The ovum has about 24 hours after it is released before it can be fertilized. Since sperm cells can live in the female body for up to 48 hours, or even up to 72 hours with better parameters, fertilization can occur after the intercourse days before and after ovulation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The fertilized ovum moves towards the uterus in about 6-12 days and settles there.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The hCG hormone increases rapidly by doubling about 48 hours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Although early pregnancy tests vary according to the brand, they can detect pregnancy 7-10 days after ovulation. This time is usually sufficient for the pregnancy hormone rising in the blood to be filtered through the kidneys and reach a level that can be detected in the urine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are brands that say they can detect pregnancy up to 4 days before the expected menstrual day, and there are brands that say they can detect it up to 5 days. However, no matter which brand you are going to buy, you should know following factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Regardless of the result, it would be logical to repeat the test after two days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> A negative result in early tests is not always a definitive result. This is because fertilization may be later than you think.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pregnancy hormone may not increase at the same level in everyone. Therefore, in case of negative results, the test can be renewed after a few days.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0A blood test is required to confirm the positive result in your test. It always gives clearer result.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Even if you have a positive test result, menstruation is possible with a low probability. Basically, these tests measure the pregnancy hormone. In cases such as chemical pregnancy, bleeding can be encountered despite the positive result.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Early tests can create negative psychology in people expecting pregnancy. Facing a negative result of the tests can be frustrating.

However, this does not mean that you are not 100% pregnant. If in doubt, you can try the test again close to your menstrual period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> If a double line appears, the result is positive. If the second line is faint, it also means positive. In this case, you can wait a few days and repeat the test for a more satisfactory result.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> The test is considered invalid if there are no lines in the result field.
