Pregnancy tests: choose depending on how long you can wait It's time to do a pregnancy test... but which one to use? Traditional tests can be done 12 days after fertilization and at least 3 days after a missed period, but you'll also find tests that give an answer a few days before the beginning of the period, known as early tests. Here's a brief guide for you. Different pregnancy tests: a common denominator All home tests on the market have a principle in common: they measure the concentration in the urine of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This is produced about a week after fertilization. Early pregnancy tests: the X factor What changes is the pregnancy tests' sensitivity to this hormone. We refer to this as the X factor, and it is based on this parameter that you can choose which type of test to buy and, most importantly, when to carry it out. There are early pregnancy tests, and other more traditional ones.
