    Pregnancy
    How do you really know you're pregnant within the first few daya

    You don't. You need to wait about 2weeks after missing your period and start taking tests.

    You aren't pregnant a few days after sex, so you wouldn't know. You should learn how pregnancy works, how it happens.

    As Scott said, you wait until your period is due. If you miss it, wait 2 weeks minimum, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, you wait for your next period, and if that's missed, test again or get a blood test.

    Homemade pregnancy test?
    How accurate are they really

    I've never heard of a homemade pregnancy test. What does it consist of? I can't imagine that it would be accurate at all.

    It's best to stick to store bought tests, or test at your doctors office.

    Please don't start multiple threads for the same issue.

    Do you mean home pregnancy test, not home made? They can be over 95% accurate if used properly. Which means waiting until about 2 weeks after you miss your period and using first morning urine.

    Okay, I just googled homemade pregnancy tests, and no, they're not accurate, not based on what I found.

    Then bleach would use that as a selling feature.

    It's not an accurate way to test for pregnancy.
