Wondering what’s next after missing your period? Maybe you are experiencing fatigue, bloating, or nausea. These are signs of a potential pregnancy. You can obtain free and confidential pregnancy testing with our team at Mendo Lake Women’s Clinic.

How Does Pregnancy Testing Work?

A pregnancy test is a very simple process. Pregnancy tests detect a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which is released into a pregnant woman’s body and naturally produced by the placenta during pregnancy.

Pregnancy tests can determine the amount of hCG in your urine or blood.  HCG is found in both urine and blood beginning around 10 to 11 days after conception.

When Should I Take A Pregnancy Test?

According to the Mayo Clinic, the best time to take a pregnancy test is to wait at least one day after your missed period for the most accurate results. It’s essential to take it at the right time of the day! Try taking a pregnancy test first thing when you wake up. Your urine is most concentrated at this time of the day.
