Pregnancy Testing: In many parts of the world women who suspect they may be pregnant can buy a kit at the local market that can test their urine for a common pregnancy hormone. This testing is inexpensive and can help them determine if they may be pregnant without a doctor's visit.

Urine test: Home pregnancy tests are sold in drug stores and pharmacies. A doctor's prescription is not required. The tests detect a hormone that women produce only when they are pregnant. The hormone is excreted in urine. A few drops of urine will tell if a women is pregnant. These tests are very reliable, if they are wrong, they are usually false positive.
