When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?
Episode description
As soon as we ovulate, the body starts to prepare for a potential pregnancy. Month after month, our menstrual cycle creates the perfect conditions for an egg to be fertilised so that when a long-awaited pregnancy finally occurs, you can get to work straight away growing your baby – long before you even know you’re pregnant.
In this episode, you’ll learn when the best possible time is to take a pregnancy test in order to get an accurate result. I’ll share the earliest signs of pregnancy to look out for as well as how to survive the two-week wait between ovulation and your next expected period.
Here’s What We’re Talking About:
- The early signs of pregnancy (and why charting will get you answers faster)
- When to take a pregnancy test and get an accurate result
- False negatives and false positives – and why they happen
- Staying sane during the two-week wait
