Determines Pregnancy: Urine pregnancy tests are available at pharmacies, grocery & convenience stores. They can be done in the privacy of your home. All pregnancy tests are based upon measurement of the hormone -- human chorionic gonadotrophin or HCG -- which is made after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Pregnancy can be determined as early as the first day of the missed period with 97%-99% accuracy.
