Under normal circumstances, the accuracy of pregnancy test sticks is very high, reaching more than 99%. However, since many factors can affect test results, 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Here are factors that may affect pregnancy test results:
1. The test time is too early or too late.
2. The urine used is not fresh enough.
3. The test stick is used incorrectly.
4. Different brands and models of pregnancy test sticks are used.
Can the pregnancy test be used at night?
Although morning urine is better for testing, pregnancy tests can also be used at night. However, the amount of HCG in urine is much lower at night than in the morning, so the accuracy of the test will be affected.
If using a pregnancy test at night, it is recommended to leave the test stick in the urine for a longer period of time, or to test when the urine is moist.
