The Pregnancy Test - Urine Qualitative is a urine test that detects the presence or absence of a harmone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Hcg) in the urine.

A pregnancy test is most commonly done when you believe you may be pregnant. Testing may detect a pregnancy as soon as 10 days after conception. The accuracy of pregnancy tests usually increases if taken at least one to two weeks after a missed menstrual period.
It may also be done when there are signs and symptoms that suggest an ectopic pregnancy or a pregnancy that is failing.
Signs of an ectopic pregnancy may include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Low back pain
- Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area
- Cramping on one side of the pelvis
Additional and more severe symptoms may develop if an ectopic pregnancy is not identified and treated, so it is important if you’re of childbearing age to talk with a doctor if you notice these symptoms.
Pregnancy testing may also be done as a routine test prior to some medical treatments, such as surgeries or chemotherapy, that could potentially harm a fetus.
A doctor can best determine if a pregnancy test is appropriate.
Input your data
The timing of pregnancy testing is determined by a woman's accuracy in predicting the day of her menstrual period, as well as the technique of testing employed. Blood tests are more sensitive than urine tests and can be performed two days before a woman's period is expected to begin. By 10 days after a missed menstrual cycle, a urine or blood hCG test can be done with confidence. A woman may be able to ascertain whether she is pregnant the day she misses her period with a urine test, but the result may be mistakenly negative. If the first test is negative but pregnancy is suspected, the test may be repeated at a later date.
When a doctor wants to diagnose or rule out an ectopic pregnancy or monitor a woman after a loss, he or she may perform quantitative urine hCG testing over several days. A woman may first have the standard signs and symptoms of pregnancy, but subsequently develop others that signal the pregnancy is not proceeding as planned.
The following are some of the indications and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Lower abdominal pain or cramps on one side of the pelvis
If left untreated, the following signs and symptoms may worsen:
- Weakness, dizziness
- Fainting or feeling faint
- Blood pressure that is too low
- Suffering from shoulder pain
- In the pelvic area, there is a sudden, severe ache.
- Flu-like symptoms and a fever
- Vomiting
If left untreated, the region around an ectopic pregnancy might burst and hemorrhage, resulting in cardiac arrest and death.
Prior to a medical operation or therapy that could be detrimental during pregnancy, an hCG test may be recommended.
