How do you know that you are pregnant? You’ll know when you miss a period, followed by a home pregnancy test that comes positive. But you might want to know about your pregnancy even before you miss your period.
If that is so, you could take MomJunction’s 13-question free pregnancy test to check for the symptoms and find out if you are pregnant.
Note: This quiz is not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and is only for informational purposes. The best way to confirm your pregnancy is to have a pregnancy test.
What Exactly Is A Pregnancy Test?
A pregnancy test examines the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) in your urine. Your body makes this hormone when you are pregnant, and releases it when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining (1).
You can get a home pregnancy test kit from pharmacy stores or online. Follow the instructions on the kit carefully to get the right result. If the test result is positive, it means you are pregnant. The test kit gives accurate answers when you use them around a week after you missed the period.
How Accurate Are Online Pregnancy Tests?
The questions included in the online pregnancy test are those that a gynecologist usually asks during the first prenatal appointment.
The accuracy of the online test depends on the accuracy of your answers. While the online test result could indicate a possible result, it is not a replacement for medical consultation and formal pregnancy tests. However, you can take the free online test several times to compare the result.
When To Take MomJunction’s Online Pregnancy Test?
Ideally, you should wait until the day your period is due. Around this time, the level of the pregnancy hormones increases, probably resulting in early symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sore breasts, fatigue, and spotting or cramping due to implantation (2).
If you are experiencing these symptoms, answering the simple questions based on them can help you determine if you are pregnant or not.
What Are The Advantages Of Taking Online Pregnancy Test?
You can take the test without any registration or sharing your details.
You can take the test multiple times, and have free, unrestricted access to the results.
You can take it from the comfort of your home.
How Does The ‘Online Pregnancy Test – Am I Pregnant Quiz’ Work?
The MomJunction online pregnancy test is designed with a set of questions that are based on the ovulation cycle, the number of times you have had intercourse, type of birth control methods you were using, and symptoms you are experiencing. We have also included questions about basal temperature and implantation. The results will depend on the answers you choose.
Whether or not you get a positive result in this quiz, you should get a pregnancy test done or visit a doctor if you miss your period.
Can You Take The Online Pregnancy Quiz Before Missed Period?
Ideally, you should wait until you miss your period and then take the pregnancy quiz.
Does a Missed Period Mean You Are Pregnant?
Not necessarily. You can miss a period due to several reasons other than pregnancy. They could be hormonal changes, health complications, changes in sleep patterns, stress, being underweight, or overweight (3).
Most Frequently Asked Questions About Implantation
Q. Can I take an online pregnancy test on my mobile device?
Yes, most online pregnancy tests work well on mobile devices.
Q. What should I do if I get a positive result from a free online pregnancy test?
If a free online pregnancy test returns a positive result, you should get a home pregnancy test kit to confirm it. If it also shows a positive result, speak to an Ob/GYN to confirm the results.
Disclaimer: The online pregnancy test is only an indication that you might be pregnant, and is not meant to replace the assessment of the doctors. It only gives you the result based on the answers you choose. You should consult your doctor for confirmation of pregnancy.
