How accurate are home pregnancy tests?

Answer by  BBrown (67)

Pregnancy tests can be inaccurate based on whether or not you are taking the test correctly. The best and easiest way to find out if you are pregnant is to schedule an appointment with your doctor. She/He can determine if you are pregnant by performing blood tests and/or a cervical exam.

Home pregnancy tests are normally 99.5% effective in accuratley testing for pregnancy. You may be just 4 or 5 weeks along and the pregnancy symptoms don't really kick in until week six. By week six you should be getting the nausea, swollen tender breasts and other symptoms of pregnancy. You can also get a blood test to verify results.
