Useful Information
If your period doesn't come and you suspect a pregnancy, do a urine test: it's the easiest and fastest way to get a first response.You can buy it at a pharmacy, parapharmacy or supermarket and do it at home.Collect some urine in a clean container (preferably sterile) and always follow the times and instructions on the package, always respecting the reported times.The test detects the hormone hCG, which appears only during pregnancy. If you do it after a delay in your cycle, the result is generally reliable. In case of a positive or doubtful outcome, talk about it With the your doctor or go to an office to get confirmation and understand the next steps.
The practice of also taking a blood test (beta-hCG) is not mandatory: the urine test is usually sufficient.
