Two lines on the pregnancy test paper means I am pregnant

Generally speaking, many adults do not take any contraceptive measures after having sex, and then two lines appear on the pregnancy test paper, which means they are pregnant, but the accuracy of the pregnancy test paper is only about 80%. Some women may also experience symptoms of false pregnancy, so if you want to confirm the results, it is best to go to the hospital for an HCG test.

If two bars indicate a positive reaction when testing with morning urine, then the chances of pregnancy are relatively high. However, if you want to further confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended to use the early pregnancy test paper to test again the next day to see if it is a positive reaction. You can also choose to test it several times. If the result is still positive, then you are pregnant. When testing, be sure to use morning urine for the test so that the test result will be more valuable for diagnosis.

The early pregnancy test method is very simple. Women can test themselves at home. A specific hormone can be detected in the urine of women from the 8th to 10th day of pregnancy. The early pregnancy test is to test this substance in urine. If two lines appear on the test paper, it is a positive sign, which means that you are pregnant.

Does two lines on the early pregnancy test paper mean pregnancy? The answer is no. Due to environmental and other influences, there may be a certain error. So two bars do not necessarily mean pregnancy. When two lines are detected during the examination, the most important thing is to go to the hospital for a check-up in time. Only the results of blood tests and B-ultrasound examinations are 100% reliable.

What are the reasons for inaccurate early pregnancy test paper?

1. Storage time and place: If a woman wants to test whether she is pregnant, but the test paper she buys has been stored for too long (more than 1 year), or is improperly stored, refrigerated, or exposed to moisture, it may become ineffective. At this time, the result may be inaccurate, resulting in a false negative result.

2. A positive result does not necessarily mean pregnancy: in addition to trophoblastic cells that can secrete HCG after pregnancy, some tumor cells such as hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, bronchial carcinoma and renal cancer can also secrete HCG. For example, patients with endometrial hyperplasia may have a positive urine HCG test.

3. Pregnancy time is too short: If the pregnancy has just begun, or there is an ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level in the body is generally low. The urine to be tested needs to be left to stand for more than 3 minutes (usually only 1 minute is needed), and it is necessary to carefully identify whether there is a weak positive test area with a color band that only appears faintly.

4. Extraordinary situations: such as hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma, the HCG level in the body will be too high and the urine test will not show a positive result.
