How long can I be pregnant with a pregnancy test stick?

In life, many friends will use pregnancy test sticks to detect pregnancy. In fact, the accuracy of such testing tools is very high, with an accuracy rate of about 90%. The test can be performed about six days into the pregnancy, but it can be postponed for a few days because the hcg concentration in the body will be higher at this time, the accuracy of the test will be higher, and friends should also know how to use the pregnancy test stick.

How long does it take to detect pregnancy using a pregnancy test stick?

Women with unexpected pregnancies can take the test on the 6th day of pregnancy, but the results are not very accurate at this time. If it is relatively accurate, then it is more accurate after the 11th day of pregnancy. The best time to test with a pregnancy test stick is on the 11th day of pregnancy.

If the pregnancy test stick is used correctly, the result after 11 days of pregnancy is reliable. However, if it is used incorrectly, the result cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, before using the pregnancy test stick, you must first understand its usage and precautions.

The pregnancy test stick is determined by measuring HCG in urine. Therefore, try to use the first urine in the morning for testing, because the hormone level at this time is easiest to detect. If this is not possible, make sure the urine is in the bladder for at least four hours before testing. However, if you do not have urine in the morning, do not drink too much water to increase urine production, as this will dilute the hormone levels.

Before using the pregnancy test stick, be sure to read the instructions carefully and follow each step accurately. If you take medication regularly, you need to read the instructions carefully, because some medications may affect the test results, so be sure to read the label instructions carefully.

If a control line appears after the pregnancy test stick is tested, it means that you are not pregnant. If two control lines appear, that is, both the control line and the test line are colored and the test line is obvious and clear, it means that you are pregnant. If the control line is clear and the test line is very light, it means you may be pregnant. Please collect morning urine with a new morning paper and test again every 2 days. If no control line appears within 5 minutes, it means the test is invalid or failed. At this time, you need to use a new pregnancy test stick to test.

How to use pregnancy test stick

1. Pregnancy test sticks are mostly used by women of childbearing age who have sexual life and basically regular menstruation, and whose menstruation is delayed by about ten days.

2. The sample with the most accurate measurement results is the first urine excreted in the morning. If you are really pregnant, the HCG content in this morning urine is the highest, so the result is the most reliable.

3. Urine should be collected in a clean and dry container to avoid affecting the measurement results.

4. When using, first look carefully at the marks and arrows marked on the pregnancy test stick, as well as the instructions on the package. Do not dip the wrong end into urine, as this will not result in any result.

5. There will be a maximum immersion line marked on the pregnancy test stick. Do not exceed this range, otherwise the measurement result will be invalid.

4. Take out the pregnancy test stick after soaking it for the time indicated on the package and observe the red lines that appear on the stick within the valid period of the result. If there is no red line, the test result is invalid. If it is a squad leader (one bar), it means you are not pregnant, and if it is a squad leader (two bars), it means you are pregnant.
