Why are there two bars if you are not pregnant?

For many female friends, pregnancy is a very important event in life. When they have similar pregnancy symptoms, many female friends choose to use pregnancy test sticks to check whether they are pregnant. However, some female friends have two bars when testing with the pregnancy test stick, but after going to the hospital for a physical examination, they find that they are not pregnant. What is the reason for this?

Why are there two bars if you are not pregnant?

In many cases, this is due to quality issues with the pregnancy test stick itself or improper operator methods. Such factors as whether the pregnancy test stick is expired, whether it is damp, whether it is of unqualified quality, whether the operator inserts the correct end into the middle urine, whether the test urine is non-morning urine of early pregnant women with low female hormone secretion, whether the test result is checked between 3 and 5 minutes, etc., all of these factors will affect the test results.

When is it more accurate to use a pregnancy test stick?

During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body produces human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which helps to maintain pregnancy. The pregnancy test sticks are all based on the HCG test in urine. Whenever human chorionic gonadotropin is detected in urine, it usually indicates pregnancy. Generally speaking, after a woman is inseminated during ovulation, it takes 6 to 7 days for the sperm and egg to combine to produce human chorionic gonadotropin, but the level is still relatively low and is easily not detected. HCG actually begins to secrete in large quantities after the fertilized egg implants, and the transformed nourishing cells begin to secrete and produce HCG in large quantities. It takes at least 11 days for the embryo to implant, so if you want to get a relatively accurate pregnancy test result, wait until 11 days after having sex.
