Obviously two bars are not pregnant

Pregnancy test sticks are a common tool for detecting whether a woman is pregnant. If a woman wants to know whether she is pregnant after sex, she can use pregnancy test sticks to detect it. However, many people find it difficult to use pregnancy test sticks and do not understand them. So when is the pregnancy test stick accurate? How to read pregnancy test sticks? Let's take a look together!

When to use the pregnancy test stick accurately

Generally, it is most accurate to use a pregnancy test stick to detect whether you are pregnant seven to ten days after your period is delayed, because the pregnancy test stick mainly determines whether you are pregnant based on the HCG content in the urine of women of the appropriate age. Since the amount of HCG used by different women varies, using a pregnancy test stick too early may result in inaccurate test results.

When the menstrual period is delayed for seven to ten days, the concentration of HCG in women's urine is higher, so the test result 10 days after intercourse is generally the most accurate.

How to use pregnancy test sticks properly

1. When using, tear off the aluminum-platinum film bag along the interface and take out the pregnancy test stick.

2. Put on the disposable plastic film rubber gloves that should be included in the box, hold one end of the pregnancy test stick's remote control with your thumb, and tilt the urine suction hole end downward. Note that the observation side of the pregnancy test stick should face downward, and the plum blossom pattern should face upward.

3. Urinate towards the urine-absorbing hole on the side of the pregnancy test stick, so that the urine flows over the urine-absorbing hole, and maintain the urine-collecting time for about 1 to 2 seconds (friendly reminder to avoid wetting the window when collecting urine! Otherwise, the pregnancy test stick will become ineffective).

4. Then turn the pregnancy test stick so that the window is facing upwards, and hold the pregnancy test stick at an angle again. When you see purple-red liquid crawling across the window, a purple-red line will appear on the window within 1 minute. The pregnancy result can be determined after 1 minute, and the non-pregnancy result must be confirmed after 3 minutes. The result after 5 minutes is invalid! Urine samples at any time are suitable for pregnancy test. If you are in early pregnancy, morning urine is best.

How to read pregnancy test stick

1. The pregnancy test stick has 2 green lines

Then it means it is Yang type, which means you are pregnant a long time ago, you need to pay attention!

2. Only one green line

Only a dark purple band appears at the reference line C, and there is no purple-red band at the test area T, which means the test result is negative, indicating no pregnancy.

3. One deep and one shallow

The mark in the test area T is lighter, and the color of the comparison line C is darker, which is a weak positive situation, indicating the possibility of pregnancy. Because you are pregnant in the early days, there is a line with a lighter color, which will be very obvious in a few days.

4. There is no green line on the pregnancy test stick

A new pregnancy test stick, that is, a relatively inferior 2-yuan one, is generally not likely to have problems. If no purple-red band appears, it may be that you are wrong or there may be something wrong with the pregnancy test stick.

5. Another situation

If only the test area T is displayed and the comparison line C is not displayed, it also means that the result is invalid.

6. Invalidity

The test results can be viewed in about 5 minutes, so you must check them at any time within 5 minutes. It is strictly prohibited to check them beyond the time limit. If the display takes more than 5 minutes, the test may be invalid or failed.

Common problems with using pregnancy test sticks

1. Try to use morning urine (the first urine in the morning) for testing, because female hormones in this condition are easiest to detect. If it is really not good, make sure the urine is in the bladder for at least four hours before testing.

Using a pregnancy test stick to test in the morning and evening may have different effects on the results.

There is usually a higher HCG value in the urine in the morning, so many instructions suggest testing in the morning, but this is not absolute.

Let me remind you again that early pregnancy test strips are not accurate and are not strictly required for testing. They are only used as a standard for basic examination. It is best to go to the hospital for an HGC test.

2. Do not drink more water to increase urination, as this will block the secretion of growth hormone in children and have a certain impact on the test results.

3. Some drugs may affect the test results, so be sure to read the instructions carefully.

4. In addition, if it is a confused pregnancy, the HCG level may be very low and cannot be detected by the pregnancy test stick. To confirm the test results, you must see a doctor.
