Trying to get pregnant can be a roller coaster of emotions. As you wait patiently to test, it's helpful to know how a pregnacy test works and teh different types available. The bottom line is, all tests will give you the same result, so go with the one that you're most comfortable using.

How Pregnancy Tests Work

A lot happens in the couple of weeks between ovulation and pregnancy. Once a sperm finds its way to the egg in the fallopian tube, it fertilizes the egg which stays there for to four before moving into the uterus. Once there, it attaches to the lining of the Uterus.

It's at this point that your body starts producing a hormone called Chorionic gonadotropin or hCG. This hormone builds up quickly in the first few days of pregnancy. It's also hCG that triggers a positive on a pregnancy test, which is designed to pick up a certain concentration of the hormone in your urine.
