What does the two lines on the pregnancy test stick mean?

Nowadays, young people always like to pursue excitement and novelty, including in their sexual life. They do not pay attention to precautions and simply consider the stimulation of sex. But they didn't know that it might cause the woman to become pregnant. This is especially troublesome for those who are not ready to have children. We can detect early pregnancy through early pregnancy fingers, pregnancy test sticks, etc. Do you know the principle of pregnancy test stick? What does it mean when two lines appear?

The principle of the pregnancy test stick is: when a woman is pregnant, she secretes a special hormone - human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG for short. This hormone exists in both women's blood and urine. The pregnancy test stick determines whether pregnancy is present through the reaction between the built-in HCG antibodies and urine.

How to use a pregnancy test stick

Generally there are the following steps:

1. Take out the pregnancy test stick and read the instructions carefully;

2. Put on disposable gloves and collect urine;

3. Drop urine into the reaction area;

4. Hold the pregnancy test stick at an angle with the observation area facing up, wait and check the results.

It is important to note that:

1. To ensure accurate results, if it is early pregnancy, it is recommended to use the first urine test in the morning.

2. The urine should stay in the test area for a short time, and should stay for 1 to 2 seconds.

3. The urine should be accurately immersed in the sampling/absorption area and not in the observation area, otherwise the pregnancy test stick will become ineffective.

4. The pregnancy result will be read after one minute, and the non-pregnancy result will be read after three minutes. If it is read after more than five minutes, the result will be invalid.

How to read the pregnancy test results

The observation window on the pregnancy test stick has two line areas, usually (C) and (T).

1. Not pregnant: There is only one control line (C), which means negative.

2. Pregnant: There are two lines, the control line (C) and the test line (T) are both colored. If the test line (T) is clear, it means you are pregnant, which is positive; if the test line (T) is lighter, it means you may be pregnant. It is recommended to test again with morning urine after 2 days, which is weak positive.

3. Invalid or failed: No control line (C) appears after 5 minutes. It may be caused by product expiration or incorrect testing method.

Therefore, we need to understand the principle of pregnancy test sticks and everything will become clear at a glance. Of course, what I want to say most is that all female friends must take good care of their bodies. Don't just enjoy it blindly and ignorantly. You must be aware of the seriousness of this problem. If you are pregnant and have to have an abortion, it is not right for your life and it will harm your body.
