Pregnancy test strips

Testing pregnancy with test strips is also a common method of detecting pregnancy. It is mainly done after having sex on the fifth or sixth day of menstruation, and the early pregnancy test strips can be tested in seven to ten days. What's more, it is convenient. It is a product that can detect whether you are pregnant by yourself. Generally, the test result of the test strip is tested at the interface of the test strip. If a red strip appears in the control area of ​​the test strip where it was blue before, then you are pregnant.

In the early days of daily life, it is also a relatively common detection reagent. What’s more amazing is that you can do the test yourself. It is a relatively safe and accurate detection method. It is used in daily life mainly to test the pregnancy results of women who have just become pregnant.

1. Pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired pregnancy test strips.

2. Read the instructions carefully before doing the self-test, and then follow the instructions carefully.

3. If you do an early pregnancy self-test at night, the accuracy will be affected to some extent, while using morning urine will produce more accurate results.

4. Many early pregnancy test strips indicate that women can do early pregnancy self-tests 1-2 days after missing their normal menstrual period. If the self-test result is negative and menstruation still has not occurred after one week, you should do the self-test again.

5. If pregnancy has just begun, or there is an ectopic pregnancy, the urine to be tested needs to be left to stand for more than 3 minutes (generally only 1 minute is needed), and carefully identify whether there is a weak positive, that is, the color of the test area is lighter than the color of the control area, or it only appears faintly.

6. Pay attention to positive self-test results caused by non-pregnancy factors, such as blood in the urine, endometrial hyperplasia, ovarian tumors, previous pregnancy, missed abortion or incomplete abortion, etc.

7. Avoid diluting urine. Drinking too much water can dilute your urine and cause a false-negative result.

8. Performing the test in the morning or evening may have a certain impact on the results. The highest HCG value is generally found in morning urine, so many instructions recommend testing in the morning, but this is not absolute.

9. When testing, pay attention to the length of the test paper immersed in urine. Sometimes the length of urine that submerges the test strip is too long, which may make the test result difficult to judge

10. If you have been pregnant before, determine whether you are pregnant based on the test results. Because HCG can remain positive for a long period of time after termination of pregnancy (after delivery, spontaneous abortion and artificial abortion).

The above is the test paper for detecting pregnancy. In daily life, if you detect pregnancy, you must do a pregnancy test. Timely examination is also relatively critical. It is mainly to prevent the occurrence of some diseases and prevent accidental miscarriage after pregnancy. Pay attention to how to improve early pregnancy detection and some accuracy tests in daily life.
