By Halle Tecco, Chief Executive Officer, Natalist At-home pregnancy tests are an affordable, reliable way to test for pregnancy as early as possible.

In this guide, we’ll share more about how to read your results and show you actual results from real women who have used Natalist Pregnancy Tests to test for pregnancy. How do pregnancy tests work?Pregnancy tests detect a hormone called human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), the first detectable sign of pregnancy. An embryo makes hCG, which can be detected in urine after it implants into the uterine wall. If the test detects hCG, it will show a positive result. You can use the Natalist Pregnancy Test starting five days before you expect your period to start. However, for the most accurate results (over 99%), test as close as you can to your expected period. ✨ Shop Pregnancy Tests ⟶ Things to know when testingThe Natalist Pregnancy Test is over 99% accurate when used correctly — so be sure to read all the instructions before you start. It’s best to test first thing in the morning when your urine is most concentrated. If you’re pregnant, there will be more hCG for the test to detect. This is especially important if you’re taking the test before your expected period. If you take it later in the day, make sure you don’t drink a lot of liquid in the hours before testing.
