Will pregnancy test be positive at 4 weeks?


‘Pregnancy test in week 4 pregnancy’ is the most asked term in the beginning of a pregnancy because during this stage every pregnant (to-be pregnant) woman suspects about her pregnancy and wants to be sure about it.

There are two types of pregnancy tests can be done to know the pregnancy, one is urine test and another one is blood test. Urine tests can be done in home and in a few seconds u get to know about your pregnancy. On the other hand blood tests are performed in a lab and have some more time than home pregnancy tests.

Both types of tests are designed to tell pregnancy through your urine or blood contains a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). In woman body hormone HCG is made right after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of uterus. Generally it happens about 6 days after fertilization but not in all pregnancies. In healthy pregnancies levels of HCG continue to rise rapidly, doubling every 2 to 3 days. It can be detected at the week 4 pregnancy (depends how you calculating your fourth week of pregnancy).
Some home pregnancy tests are effective after the first missed menstrual period. You can take a pregnancy test this early, but some tests may not be accurate until week 5. If you do take a home pregnancy test, wait until till the end of the week to take it. These tests are also more accurate if you take them first thing in the morning, since that is when your urine is most concentrated. If you get a negative result but still suspect that you are pregnant, wait another week and then take another test.
