Homework Answers
The scientific basis of the home pregnancy test is actually simple. The hormone known as the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is usually present in the body at very low amounts. As soon as the egg gets fertilized, the levels of hCG begins to increase in the blood & also in the urine. This test only has to find out the increased levels of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine. The tests conducted using blood by the doctor can determine pregnancy early & find out the correct hCG levels. Since every person's body & cycle is different, both of the tests can be used accordingly. We have to understand that every pregnancy tests basically function the same way.
hope it helps.
