What is a pregnancy test and how does it work?
A pregnancy test is a test that can detect a hormone in your urine. It is the hormone hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin. This hCG is only present in your urine during pregnancy. A positive result on your pregnancy test gives a very high reliability that you are pregnant! hCG is also the hormone that can cause pregnancy sickness.
How reliable is a positive pregnancy test?
Most pregnancy tests are very reliable. If you test after the first day of your expected period. Even a light dash means you are pregnant. If the pregnancy hormone hCG is present in your urine, the pregnancy test becomes positive. The amount of the hormone increases very rapidly in the first weeks of pregnancy.

Each pregnancy test is just a little bit different, but the principle is almost always the same, the principle is very similar to a Corona test. Read the instructions carefully. Often a positive result looks like this:
- Pregnant => two bars visible: a control bar is always visible. If a second line appears, then you are pregnant (even if the second line is very light).
- Some tests show a plus sign instead of a dash.
- A digital pregnancy test will display the word: "pregnant" or "not pregnant.
