Flood zones are land areas identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each flood zone describes that land area in terms of its risk of flooding. Everyone lives in a flood zoneâit's just a question of whether you live in a low, moderate, or high risk area.
Early pregnancy tests can now be taken several days before your period is due â but the earlier you take the test, the less reliable the result. The number of days varies according to the make of pregnancy test. The earliest tests claim to be reliable from up to 5 days before your period is due.
After testing, you can confirm results by seeing your doctor, who can perform even more sensitive pregnancy tests. Blood tests are done at your doctor's office, but are used less often than urine tests. These tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a home pregnancy test, or about six to eight days after ovulation. But with these tests, it takes longer to get the results than with a home pregnancy test. Two types of blood pregnancy tests are available: A qualitative hCG test simply checks to see if hCG is present. Doctors often order these tests to confirm pregnancy as early as 10 days after a missed period. However, some of these tests can detect hCG much earlier. A quantitative hCG test (beta hCG) measures the exact amount of hCG in your blood.
