How to read the pregnancy test results

The emergence of early pregnancy test strips allows women to use the most convenient way to check whether they are already pregnant. Today we will discuss early pregnancy test strips, the signal indicator for female pregnancy. So, how to judge the results of early pregnancy test paper?

How to judge the results of early pregnancy test paper

The results of the urine test paper may appear in the following four situations: positive, weak positive, negative, and invalid. As shown in the following figure:

Positive (pregnancy): Two bright red reaction lines: One bright red reaction line appears in the test area (T) and the other in the control area (C). When the color of the test area (T) is lighter than that of the control area (C), it indicates that you may be in the early stages of pregnancy. Please retest with morning urine the next day to confirm.

Negative (not pregnant): a bright red reaction line; a bright red reaction line appears only in the control area (C).

Failure: No bright red reflection line appears in the comparison area (C), indicating incorrect or failed detection.

When to use pregnancy test strips

At present, most women use early pregnancy tests to get pregnant. The early pregnancy test paper should be used when the menstrual period after sexual intercourse does not come normally. The recommended time for use is about 10 to 20 days after the normal menstrual period does not come. If the early pregnancy test paper is used too early, it will not detect whether you are pregnant.

The test is best done in the morning, using the first morning urine for testing. The most common way is to test whether your urine contains test tube embryo metabolism, and the most common method in hospitals is to use this kind of test paper. However, if you are pregnant, it is impossible to test whether you are pregnant because the test tube embryo has not yet secreted a certain amount of detectable fluid, and the test result is that you are not pregnant. The correct sampling method for testing whether you are pregnant should be 10 to 20 days after the couple has sexual intercourse and their period has not come. Testing too early is likely to result in poor results.

Many female friends use the first urine sample in the morning for testing because the value at this time is the highest. The first urination after getting up in the morning can be done in a disposable paper cup, a plastic cup, or other containers. The urine does not have to be too much. It should be about one centimeter high. Then open your early pregnancy test paper and put it into the urine according to the end indicated on the package. The end should be facing upwards and stand on the edge of the cup. You don't need to put the whole thing in to soak.

In fact, not having a period does not mean that you are pregnant. Sometimes there are many reasons that cause late menstruation. Long-term sexual intercourse between couples can also cause delayed menstruation, and delayed menstruation is common due to endocrine imbalance. If you are doing self-testing, try to check more often in the month after your period has not come. Generally speaking, the delay in menstruation will not be more than a month.
