How to check if the test paper is pregnant

Nowadays, many people like to buy pregnancy test strips to test themselves after they become pregnant, but not everyone can do the test by themselves smoothly. Many people don’t know how to use it after they buy it, and they have to study it for a long time before they can use it correctly. But in this case, it is best to prepare more in advance to avoid mistakes. So how do you use the test paper to see if you are pregnant?

How to check if you are pregnant with a test strip

Generally, morning urine should be collected, and the test results are more accurate. Then the test strip must be placed flat, and then pour the urine into the concave groove. After more than ten minutes, if there is a red band in each CT area, then congratulations, you are pregnant. If only a bright red streak appears in zone C, it proves that you are not pregnant.

There are usually instructions for use inside the pregnancy test paper. Put it in contact with urine for about three minutes. If two red bars appear, it means you are pregnant, and one red bar means you are not pregnant. If your period is delayed by about a week, you can buy an ovulation test strip. Testing with morning urine is more accurate.

How to improve the accuracy of pregnancy test strips

Check the packaging of the pregnancy test strip carefully to see if it is damp or damaged. And pay attention to check the production time and expiration date on the gift box, and never use expired, moldy, or damaged pregnancy test strips. Before conducting the test, please read the manual and FAQ carefully and perform the operation in strict accordance with the instructions.

Try to use the first morning urine as the urine sample for testing. Testing pregnancy at other times may reduce the accuracy. Some women test when their menstruation does not come on time, but in fact, in order to improve accuracy, it is more reliable to test 10 days after the menstrual period. When testing for pregnancy in the earliest stages of pregnancy, the urine sample should be left to rest for more than 3 minutes after testing.
