Tampons do not alter the accuracy of a pregnancy test. The test detects a chemical in urine that isn't changed by tampon use.

How early will a blood test for pregnancy work?

Pregnancy tests work by analysing the amount of pregnancy hormone present in your body. Generally, a urine pregnancy test is less accurate for two reasons: a) the hormone is being detected through urine, which can alter moreso than blood, depending on how much water you drink and whether or not you use first morning urine (first morning urine is better for pregnancy tests). b) the pregnancy test itself isn't as detailed and reliable as an analysed blood test. The moment the sperm fertilises the egg, the hormone pregnancy starts circulating in your blood. A blood pregnancy test ought to give clear results within a couple of days. Your GP may want to take more bloods a week or so afterwards to verify the result.

Not at all. In a urine test, being diabetic may show the presence of sugar or ketones, whilst pregnancy tests look for the presence of a hormone in the urine. Being diabetic does not therefore affect the result of pregnancy tests.


Can you test positive with a urine pregnancy test and negative on the blood?

Yes, it is possible to have a positive result on a urine pregnancy test and a negative result on a blood pregnancy test. This could be due to differences in the sensitivity of the tests or the timing of the tests relative to the hormone levels in the body. It is recommended to confirm with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.


If water is mixed in urine of pregnant woman it give positive result or not?

Mixing water with urine from a pregnant woman will not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test result. The presence of hCG hormone in the urine is what determines a positive pregnancy test result, not the addition of water.


Can dehydration give a negative pregnancy test result?

No, concentration of hormones and other chemicals filtered from the blood in urine would actually increase with less urine volume. Pregnancy tests look for specific hormones in your urine. It's not likely that dehydration could cause this unless it was a sign of another health problem that was interfering with your pregnancy.


If you used water instead of urine on a pregnancy test what would happen?

Nothing. The pregnancy test uses your hormones inside your urine to predict pregnancy. If this hcg hormone is not present, the test will not show you a positive result. The only thing you would see would be the "control line".
