## Resource

Well, it's no doubt we live in a culture of immediate gratification. When we need to know something, we must know it immediately! This even applies to couples seeking pregnancy and their desire to find out if their monthly attempts have been successful. However, there is a problem with trying to prove pregnancy too promptly. In this episode, we will review a new publication just released on March 1st, 2026 out of the Green journal. These authors evaluated a prospective cohort (PRESTO cohort) of pregnancy planners to analyze their pregnancy test taking behaviors and their outcomes. The results are eye-opening. So, when is the best time to check a pregnancy test? Listen in for details. 1. Sundermann AC, Jasper EA, Jukic AMZ, Rothman KJ, Wise LA.
