Is a woman's pregnancy negative or positive?

Pregnancy test sticks are easy to use and economical, and are the preferred choice for many female friends to detect whether they are pregnant. However, the results of pregnancy test sticks are not necessarily correct, and there is still no way to be as accurate as going to the hospital for a check-up. So today, let’s first understand how to use the pregnancy test stick and how to read the test results of the pregnancy test stick.

Is a woman giving birth to a baby negative or positive?

Women of childbearing age who suspect that they are already pregnant will choose to buy a pregnancy test stick at a pharmacy for testing, or go to the hospital for a check-up. If the result is negative, they will ask the doctor whether the pregnancy result is negative or positive. How to judge the result of pregnancy test stick?

1. There are two green lines on the pregnancy test stick: one is located in the detection area (T baby boy or girl prediction table), and the other is located in the quality control area (C). It is the main manifestation of the Yang type, indicating pregnancy.

2. A green line on the pregnancy test stick: Only a purple-red mixed band appears in the quality control area (C), and no dark purple mixed band appears in the detection area (T). It is the main manifestation of a negative result, indicating that you are not pregnant.

3. One line on the pregnancy test stick is dark and the other is light: one line is located in the detection area (T) and is lighter, while the other line is located in the control area (C) and is darker, which is a sign of a weak positive and indicates the possibility of pregnancy.

4. There is no green line on the pregnancy test stick: There is no purple or red band in the quality control area (C), which means incorrect operation or the test reagent strip has become moldy and damaged.

This type of hormone is produced by the embryo and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy. However, due to the small amount, it is difficult to test it at the beginning. It will not become obvious until 10 to 14 days. It is recommended to test for signs of pregnancy 10-14 days after the menstrual period is delayed.

Common problems with pregnancy test sticks

1. Pregnancy test time: The result of urine HCG positive can be judged after 1 minute (30 seconds at the earliest), which means that when testing in the urine, if two lines are clearly displayed after 1 minute, it shows a positive result and there is no need to wait for 3 minutes to judge.

2. The result of not being pregnant can only be confirmed after 3 minutes. This is because in the early stages of pregnancy, the HCG hormone content in the urine is very low, and a weak positive result may appear during the test. The weak positive result may not be displayed after 1 minute. With the increase of the reaction time, it will take 3 minutes for two lines to be displayed. At this time, the appearance of two lines should still be judged as a pregnancy (positive) result. If there is still only one comparison line after 3 minutes, it can be judged as not pregnant (negative).

3. When purchasing a pregnancy test stick, be sure to go to a reliable pharmacy, be sure to follow the instructions on the small box, and make sure the medicine has not expired.
