A member asked:
When my mother first got pregnant she couldn't use the home test. is that hereditary?

Improved: Home pregnancy tests have greatly improved since your mother first got pregnant and should be very reliable for you. There is no genetic reason that this wouldn't be the case. Best wishes.

No: Today's home pregnancy tests are very accurate, but if done too early, a negative result may be due to testing too soon. A correctly done urine test will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. A woman can repeat the test if she did the first test too early, such as less than two weeks after conception.
