How to use pregnancy test stick

The pregnancy test stick is also what people call a pregnancy test stick. This is a common method of pregnancy testing. When the early symptoms are not obvious, it is troublesome for many women to do a pregnancy test. Therefore, most women will use certain methods to test whether they are pregnant before doing the examination. The pregnancy test stick is a common choice. The accuracy of the pregnancy test stick is relatively high. Women must pay attention to the correct usage when using the pregnancy test stick to avoid errors in the results. The use of the pregnancy test stick is also related to the pregnancy test results. So what is the specific method of using the pregnancy test stick?

1. How to use

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. 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. Urine should be collected in a clean, dry container to avoid affecting the measurement results. 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. 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. After soaking the pregnancy test stick for the time specified on the package, take it out and observe the red line that appears on the stick within the valid period of the result. If there are no red lines, 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.

2. How to use

When using, tear open the aluminum foil bag along the notch and take out the pregnancy test stick; put on the disposable plastic film gloves included in the box, pinch one end of the handle of the pregnancy test stick with your thumb, tilt the urine absorption hole end downward, and note that the observation side of the pregnancy test stick should face downward and the plum blossom pattern direction should face upward; urinate at the urine absorption hole on the side of the pregnancy test stick to allow the urine to pass through the urine absorption hole, and maintain the urine collection time for 1 to 2 seconds.

3. Note

Check whether the pregnancy test stick is expired. When using a pregnancy test stick, pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired test cards because chemical agents will become ineffective over time. Read the instructions carefully before taking a pregnancy test. To reduce the chance of inaccurate testing, read the test card instructions carefully before going to the bathroom, and then follow the instructions carefully. Try to use the first urine in the morning for testing. Hormone levels are easiest to detect at this time. Do not drink too much water as this will dilute hormone levels.
