A member asked:

What is the point of urine pregnant tests with conception indicator if they are said to be in accurate? would it not measure hcg based on # of weeks?

No: It measures pregnancy that is above a certain number, usually about 25. That commonly occurs at about 4 weeks. However sometimes the time of implantation can vary. And sometimes the time just does not work correctly. Blood is much more accurate.
