What are the two bars on the pregnancy test stick?

Eat normally. If two bars appear on the pregnancy test stick, it means you are pregnant. However, it does not mean that you can confirm pregnancy. Pregnancy test sticks also have errors. It may be that the pregnancy test stick is invalid or caused by your own condition. If some women have diseases, false positives may be detected. It is best to go to the hospital for a blood test, so that the test results will be more accurate.

Does two lines on the pregnancy test mean that you are pregnant?

Generally speaking, if two lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, that is, both the control line and the test line are colored, and the test line of the pregnancy test stick is obvious and clear, it means that the woman is pregnant. If the control line is clear and the test line is very light, it means you may be pregnant. Please use a new pregnancy test stick to collect morning urine and retest every 2 days. But sometimes even if the pregnancy test stick shows two lines, it does not mean that you are pregnant. A false positive result in an early pregnancy test is related to the quality of the pregnancy test stick, the duration of use, and the user's own situation. It may also be positive in pituitary disease, hyperthyroidism, ovarian cysts, endometrial hyperplasia, and uterine cancer. A small number of gynecological patients undergoing treatment may also experience false positives due to endocrine disorders or medication.

1. If the time is too early, the pregnancy test stick will be inaccurate

HCG usually appears in the urine a few days after the fertilized egg implants, and it must reach a certain amount to be detected. Therefore, for women with normal menstruation, HCG can only be detected in the urine after the menstruation is delayed. For women with long menstrual cycles or abnormal ovulation, HCG can only be detected 40-44 days after the menstruation stops.

2. Doing the test in the morning and evening may have an impact

This is why the instructions for many pregnancy test sticks recommend testing in the morning, because the HCG value is generally the highest in morning urine, and the test results will be relatively accurate.

3. A positive result does not necessarily mean a normal pregnancy

If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, there is a 60% positive rate in the pregnancy test, so a positive result alone cannot reveal whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. It is extremely unsafe for a woman to have a medical abortion based on a positive result on a pregnancy test.

4. A positive pregnancy test does not necessarily mean conception

Many women with pituitary disease, hyperthyroidism, ovarian cysts, endometrial hyperplasia, and uterine cancer will also test positive when using pregnancy tests. There are also a small number of menopausal women in the early stages of menopause or gynecological patients undergoing treatment who may experience false positives due to endocrine disorders or medication.

5. The degree of urine dilution is related

If women drink too much water before the test, their urine will be diluted, which may lead to a false negative result. Also, if they do not pay attention to the length of the test paper immersed in urine during the test, the test result will be difficult to judge.
