How to check if you are pregnant
Once pregnant, a woman\’s body undergoes many changes. Especially for women who are pregnant for the first time, it is easy to feel uneasy and not know how to check whether they are pregnant. The following will introduce you to several commonly used pregnancy testing methods.
Three common pregnancy detection methods
Urine testing method
Urine testing is currently the most commonly used method of detecting pregnancy. This method is simple and easy. It only requires a few drops of urine on the pregnancy test stick and does not need to invade the body. Usually around 10 days into pregnancy, a woman’s body will produce pregnancy hormones. At this time, you can use a pregnancy test stick to check the pregnancy hormones in the urine before urinating for the first time in the morning. The accuracy of most products is as high as 99% or more.
Blood test method
Blood tests are currently the most accurate way to detect pregnancy. This method requires going to the hospital, where the doctor draws blood from the woman\’s veins or fingertips to check for the presence of pregnancy hormones. Because pregnancy hormones are very low in early pregnancy, this method is usually not available until 1 week into pregnancy. Although this method is more cumbersome, it has a high accuracy and can detect whether a woman is pregnant early.
B-ultrasound detection method
B-ultrasound testing is a method that uses B-ultrasound equipment to observe whether there is a fetus in a woman\’s uterus. This method can display the female uterus and fetus more clearly, and can understand the size, position, number and gender of the fetus, but it requires going to the hospital for testing, which is more troublesome. B-ultrasound testing in early pregnancy can help determine whether the gestational sac is healthy and whether there are problems such as ectopic pregnancy.
Things to note
1. When using a pregnancy test stick to test, you must strictly follow the instructions on the instructions, otherwise it may cause misjudgment.
2. If the pregnancy test shows a negative result but you still suspect that you may be pregnant, you can take the test again after a week.
3. In the early stages of pregnancy, you should avoid excessive exercise and strenuous activities, and pay attention to physical rest and health care.
Summary
Through the above introduction, we have learned about the three commonly used pregnancy testing methods, namely urine testing, blood testing and B-ultrasound testing. Urine and blood testing are relatively simple and effective testing methods that can be performed at home or in the hospital, while B-ultrasound testing requires going to the hospital. When taking a pregnancy test, you must pay attention to the usage and precautions, find a trustworthy hospital and doctor for testing, and detect pregnancy early to provide protection for pregnancy care and physical health.
