What should I do if there are two lines on the pregnancy test paper?

Recently, I often hear people say that many of their friends use early pregnancy test strips to test after they find out they are pregnant. However, there are certain problems with using early pregnancy test strips, and many people will use them directly without first understanding the specific usage methods. So today let’s talk about how to use early pregnancy test strips and what precautions should be taken during use.

The correct method for using an early pregnancy test is to collect urine (first morning urine is preferred), insert the test strip, and observe the results within 5 minutes. Color bands appear on both the top and bottom of the test strip, indicating pregnancy. If only a purple-red band appears on the upper end of the test strip and no band appears on the lower end, it means you are not pregnant. However, early pregnancy test strips are greatly affected by the cleanliness of the urine container, testing time, methods, etc., and there is also a considerable chance of error.

Note:

1. If the early pregnancy test paper you purchased is stored for too long (more than 1 year), or if the early pregnancy test paper is damp and not kept at normal room temperature (should not be refrigerated), it may become invalid and a false negative test result may occur.

2. If the pregnancy has just begun, or there is a possibility of ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level in the body is generally low. The test sample needs to be left to stand for more than 3 minutes (usually only 1 minute), and it is necessary to carefully identify whether there is a weak positive - the color band in the test area only appears faintly.

3. A positive result does not mean 100% pregnancy. Because some tumor cells, such as hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, bronchial carcinoma and renal cancer, can also secrete HCG. We have also encountered patients with endometrial hyperplasia who tested positive for HCG.

The above explanation is how to use the early pregnancy test paper correctly. If a girl finds out that she is pregnant, she can use the early pregnancy test paper to test the pregnancy. She just needs to pay close attention to the matters involved. In this way, she can know whether she is pregnant relatively early, so that she can take corresponding countermeasures as early as possible.
