Hi there,
Urine pregnancy tests determine the amount of HCG in your urine, when it reaches a certain level. Measurement of blood HCG levels can detect smaller amounts of the hormone, and so can detect pregnancy earlier than urine tests. They are more sensitive and accurate compared to urine tests. It is best to wait for your periods and take up the test if you miss your periods. The diagnosis of pregnancy can be made only after a complete history and physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and ultrasonography. Consult a gynecologist for more queries. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!
