Pregnancy test strips are a very common method of detecting pregnancy. In daily life, many women have pregnancy test strips at home. Pregnancy test strips are very simple and convenient to detect pregnancy, and are very popular with everyone.

Can pregnancy tests be wrong?

The pregnancy test strip is a detection method that measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine to preliminarily determine pregnancy. Early pregnancy tests can also give false positive results. The time of urine collection, whether the test cup is clean, whether the test method is correct, the quality of the pregnancy test paper, and whether it is expired are all related. It is recommended to choose regular pregnancy test strips from big brands with national medicine approval numbers. At the same time, you must take morning urine. The urine cup must be clean and the testing method must be correct. Generally, there will be no false positive results. The best way is to measure the blood chorionic gonadotropin level and combine it with color ultrasound examination.

How to choose pregnancy test paper

1. Many women tend to follow the advice of the pharmacy salesperson when making purchases. They dare not buy something that is too cheap because they feel uneasy; and they do not know if something that is too expensive is really that good because they buy it. Often we care more about choosing which cost-effective

Higher, more assured. In fact, the only difference between pregnancy test strips of different prices is that the expensive ones are more beautifully packaged and more convenient to use.

2. To sum it up simply: expensive things may be more convenient, making you feel that your money is well spent. If the packaging is good, you will also be able to imagine the "advantages" of the product in other aspects. In this age of focusing on packaging, we often see cheap products with simple packaging, which makes us feel uneasy when buying them. Therefore, many people nowadays will definitely not choose the cheapest even if they will not choose the most expensive one, just for peace of mind.

3. In fact, as long as the pregnancy test strips are purchased through regular channels, the effect is the same regardless of the price. Early pregnancy test strips are mainly for the convenience of women. They can do self-tests at home. Self-testing can save them the trouble of running back and forth to the hospital. Testing at home is indeed convenient, but there are some details that we must know to avoid inaccurate test results.

How to use pregnancy test stick

1. Pregnancy test sticks are mostly used by women of childbearing age who have sexual life and basically regular menstruation, and whose menstruation is delayed by about ten days.

2. The sample with the most accurate measurement results is the first urine excreted in the morning. If you are really pregnant, the HCG content in this morning urine is the highest, so the result is the most reliable.

3. Urine should be collected in a clean and dry container to avoid affecting the measurement results.

4. When using, first look carefully at the marks and arrows marked on the pregnancy test stick, as well as the instructions on the package. Do not dip the wrong end into urine, as this will not result in any result.

5. There will be a maximum immersion line marked on the pregnancy test stick. Do not exceed this range, otherwise the measurement result will be invalid.

6. Take out the pregnancy test stick after soaking it for the time indicated on the package and observe the red lines that appear on the stick within the valid period of the result. If there is no red line, the test result is invalid. If it is a squad leader (one bar), it means you are not pregnant, and if it is a squad leader (two bars), it means you are pregnant.
