You do not have to wait for a missed period
to find out if you are pregnant!
With over-the-counter pregnancy tests, you have to wait until you have missed your period. CareNet offers a five-minute, free pregnancy test that can detect the presence of hCG, the hormone that indicates pregnancy, 7-10 days after implantation of the fertilized egg.
Pregnancy begins when the male's sperm fertilizes or joins with the female's ovum (egg). The average duration of pregnancy is 38-42 weeks and is divided into 3 trimesters: 1 day-12 weeks; 13-26 weeks; and 26 weeks-birth.
You might be pregnant if:
• You have missed one or more menstrual periods
• Your breasts are swollen and/or tender
• You are nauseated or have had a change in appetite
• You are tired or dizzy
• You have to urinate more often
• You have recently gained or lost weight
