A positive pregnancy test means I'm pregnant.

Many unmarried young men and women have premarital sex, and many friends do not pay attention to contraception, which is also an important reason for pregnancy before marriage. Generally, they are afraid of getting pregnant after contraception fails. Therefore, early pregnancy test paper is a particularly important method to determine whether you are pregnant or not. However, early pregnancy test paper is not necessarily very accurate. Let’s understand together whether a positive pregnancy test paper means pregnancy?

In general, there are two types of results for early pregnancy test strips: drop urine into the detection hole on the test strip. If a colored band appears in the control area of ​​the test strip (some test strips appear red, some test strips appear blue), it indicates a negative result, indicating that you are not pregnant; conversely, if a clear colored band appears in the detection area, it indicates a positive result, indicating that you are pregnant. However, early pregnancy test strips can only be used as a preliminary screening test and you should never rely on them too much.

1. If the test paper you purchased is stored for too long (more than 1 year), improperly stored, refrigerated, or exposed to moisture, it may become ineffective and result in a false negative test result.

2. If the pregnancy has just begun, or there is an ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level in the body is generally low. The urine to be tested needs to be left to stand for more than 3 minutes (usually only 1 minute is needed), and careful identification is required to determine whether there is a weak positive result - the color band in the test area only appears faintly.

3. In extraordinary cases, such as hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma, the HCG level in the body will be too high and the urine test will not show a positive result.

4. After 3 months of pregnancy, HCG levels decrease and urine tests may sometimes show negative or weak positive results.

5. A positive result does not necessarily mean pregnancy. Because in addition to trophoblastic cells that can secrete HCG after pregnancy, some tumor cells such as hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, bronchial carcinoma and renal cancer can also secrete HCG. For example, patients with endometrial hyperplasia may have a positive urine HCG test.

Therefore, do not rely solely on an early pregnancy test to determine whether you are pregnant. To be on the safe side, you can test again after 3 days. Of course, the most reliable thing is to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, especially those with weak positive results should pay more attention to this so that measures can be taken."

Through the above introduction, we know that a positive pregnancy test paper does not necessarily mean pregnancy. However, after a positive result, we must also pay attention to it, especially go to the hospital for timely examination. If we are indeed pregnant, we need to deal with it according to our own situation, and pay attention to contraception when having sex.
