But they allow privacy and that is why they are used widely. Also, couples who haven't yet married, feel uncomfortable to go to a clinic for a pregnancy test. That is one reason why they choose a home test kit. But here are some reasons why it isn't a good idea...
Fact #1
The test kit comes with a set of instructions. When they aren't followed properly, the results may not be accurate!
Fact #2
After some time, the test kit turns dry (the urine drops evaporate). That is when both of the lines in test kit appear dark and that looks like a 'positive' result.

Fact #3
The test kit works by detecting HCG levels present in the women's urine. Testing a bit early could give a false negative result.
Fact #4
