The pregnancy test stick has a very deep bar (about the use and interpretation of the pregnancy test stick)
1. How to use the pregnancy test stick
A pregnancy test is a tool that measures pregnancy. Its main principle is to detect the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. If the concentration is higher than a certain value, it means that the woman is pregnant. When using a pregnancy test stick, you need to pay attention to the following aspects.
First, choose the right time. A woman\’s ovulation period is usually around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle, and an assessment needs to be carried out at this time. Secondly, wash your hands, urine collection container and outer packaging bag of the test stick before use. Then, place the urine collector on the lower body, wait for the urine to flow into the device, take out the test stick, immerse it in the urine for about 10 seconds, take it out, and place it in a dry and ventilated place to wait for the result.
2. Interpret pregnancy test results
Getting results after taking a pregnancy test is critical. Certain symbols on the pregnancy test stick indicate whether you are pregnant or not.
If one line appears, it means that there is no abnormality in the pregnancy body and you are not pregnant; if two lines appear, it means that your beloved baby has arrived and you are pregnant.
Symptoms such as no longer having menstruation, delayed menstruation and breast swelling often indicate that women may be pregnant. However, pregnancy tests are still a more accurate way to determine pregnancy, and it is recommended that women take the test before becoming pregnant.
3. Notes
Pregnancy tests have good accuracy, but misjudgments may occur. First of all, if the test time is too early, the concentration of hCG in the urine may be insufficient, and the test results may appear as a line. Therefore, it is recommended to use it one week after your menstrual cycle is expected.
Secondly, if the urine is collected too late, the concentration of hCG in the urine may be too low, causing the test results to fail to detect pregnancy.
4. Conclusion
All in all, pregnancy tests are a simple, fast, and accurate way to test pregnancy. However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test, women need to pay attention to the appropriate testing time and follow the correct testing method. If there are obvious signs of pregnancy, please consult your doctor in time.
