CategoriesTexting & Internet Slang

HPT stands for Home pregnancy test, a parenting forum abbreviation.

Over-the-counter urine test that detects the hormone hCG, used to check for pregnancy at home. Forum users discuss brands, sensitivity and how early to test.

Example: Took an HPT this morning, faint line, testing again Friday.

Usage notes

Sensitivity varies by brand; some detect lower hCG levels and can turn positive earlier. Digital tests show words instead of lines. A positive HPT is usually followed by a blood test or doctor's visit.
