The pregnancy test stick has one line but I am pregnant

Nowadays, the faster and more convenient way to test for pregnancy is to use a pregnancy test stick, which is available in general regular hospitals. We can test whether we are pregnant through urine. In the test results, if there is one line on the pregnancy test stick, it means you are not pregnant. However, some women reported that when they took the pregnancy test, it showed only one line. So what is the reason for the phenomenon that there is only one line on the pregnancy test stick but they are pregnant?

Pregnancy test sticks need proper explanation

1. Not pregnant: Only one comparison line appears, indicating that you are not pregnant.

2. Pregnancy: Two lines appear, that is, both the comparison line and the test line are colored, and the test line is obviously clear, indicating that the woman is already pregnant. If the contrast line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it indicates that you may be pregnant. Please collect morning urine with a new morning paper and test again after 2 days.

3. Failure: No contrast line appears within 5 minutes, indicating that the experiment failed or was unsuccessful. It should be noted that when the pregnancy test stick shows "two bars", do not think that you are pregnant and do not do further testing. Because "two bars" does not necessarily mean pregnancy. In addition to the human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine which can cause two bars to appear on the pregnancy test stick, some tumor cells or hydatidiform mole in the female body may also cause "two bars" to appear on the pregnancy test stick.

4. One dark and one light color on the pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the contrast line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it means that you may be pregnant, but it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. In this case, you need to test again every two days with a new pregnancy test stick to collect morning urine.

Therefore, I suggest that ladies who use pregnancy test sticks to test, when the pregnancy test stick shows pregnancy, we still need to go to a reliable hospital for B-ultrasound for further confirmation. After you become pregnant, you need to pay attention to the nutritional supplement of your diet. Although pregnancy will cause some physical discomfort, pregnant mothers still need to maintain a happy mental state to cope with this change.

Common problems with pregnancy test sticks

1. Make sure the pregnancy test stick has not expired and has not become damp.

2. If a woman has used HCG drugs recently, it will affect the test results. The half-life of HCG is 24 hours, after which women can test again.

3. The urine used for the test is preferably morning urine. If it is not morning urine, do not drink water 4 hours before the test to avoid diluent in the urine.

4. If a woman shows symptoms of pregnancy and the first test is negative, she can test again after 3 days.

What is the reason for the pregnancy test stick to have one dark spot and one light spot?

1. Too little HCG

Generally speaking, if a woman uses a pregnancy test stick to test, the time is set at 7-10 days after having sex, and the result can be detected at this time. If the test is done too early, when the HCG level is relatively low, one dark result may be another light result.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

Generally, during pregnancy, the secretion of HCG will increase rapidly. If the amount of β-HCG increases by more than 66% every two days, it can be basically diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy. If the increased amount is less than 66%, it may be an ectopic pregnancy. If a woman's menstruation is delayed and the period is one dark and one shallow, she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.

3. Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy occurs 6 days after the fusion of sperm and egg, when the sperm and egg produce the trophoblast layer, HCG will be produced. However, the test tube embryo will not continue to grow normally in the future, the nourishing cells will die, and HCG will no longer be produced. If the pregnancy test stick shows one dark and one light at first, and then shows nothing at all, it may be an ectopic pregnancy.

Using a pregnancy test stick to test pregnancy seems to be a simple thing, but if a woman ignores some things, it is easy to be "cheated" by the pregnancy test stick. In order to avoid such farce, women should learn how to use pregnancy test sticks correctly.
