About Home Pregnancy Tests The home pregnancy test works by identifying the presence of the "pregnancy hormone," human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), in urine. There are two types of pregnancy tests, qualitative, which measures whether the HCG hormone is present; and, quantitative, which measures how much of the hormone is present. Urine pregnancy tests will only be positive when you have sufficient HCG in your blood. If you are very early in your pregnancy, and the HCG level is below 25-50 mIU/mL, the test will be negative.
