Best OTC Choices in Pregnancy Testing

Most of Money’s picks for the best choices in home pregnancy tests are strips designed to detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), which typically starts to be produced around six days after fertilization. You urinate on the stick and the result appears after a few minutes.

The selections were made by drugs.com, using a methodology that combines expert assessment with analysis of online reviews, ratings and other customer data.
