There are a number of pregnancy tests done in order to spot some specific hormones in the urine and blood so as to confirm pregnancy. These pregnancy hormones are also called human chronic gonadotropins or HCGs. Body produces these hormones only when the egg gets fertilized with the sperm and implanted in the uterus – this typically happens six days after the egg is fertilized.
Two different tests are performed – first test is done to identify HCG in the blood and the second test is done to identify HCG in the urine. Urine test can be performed at home, which is popularly known as home pregnancy test (HPT). HPTs today are becoming more popular, as they can be performed at home and they are inexpensive as well.
