pregnancy test
Home fertility check
A pregnancy test detects whether a woman is pregnant, typically by measuring hormone levels in urine or blood.
Home tests use urine samples and display results within minutes: She took a pregnancy test the morning after her missed period.
Blood tests performed by doctors can detect pregnancy earlier and measure exact hormone levels.
