The pregnancy test stick cannot detect the pregnancy in the early stage

In the early stages of pregnancy, you cannot detect whether you are pregnant by just using a pregnancy test stick, because at that time you may not be able to detect pregnancy due to improper operation. Of course, if you are indeed pregnant and your menstruation has stopped, you must go to the hospital for a blood test in time and then follow the doctor's advice for treatment.

1. Which type of pregnancy cannot be detected by pregnancy test sticks?

If the pregnancy is relatively short, the pregnancy test stick cannot detect it. It is recommended that you postpone your period for seven days and then use the pregnancy test stick to detect it. In this way, the accuracy rate will be higher.

2. How long does it take for a pregnancy test stick to show results?

Ovulation occurs around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. Assuming fertilization is successful at this time, it will take at least 6 or 7 days for the fertilized egg to produce HCG. Pregnancy test sticks are determined by testing urine HCG. HCG actually starts to be secreted in large quantities after the fertilized egg implants, and the syncytial trophoblast begins to secrete large amounts of HCG. It takes at least 11 days for the fertilized egg to implant. So, the earliest is 6 days. If you want more accuracy, wait until 11 days, as it will be more accurate then. You can make your own guess.

If a control line appears after the pregnancy test stick is tested, it means that you are not pregnant. If two control lines appear, that is, both the control line and the test line are colored and the test line is obvious and clear, it means that you are pregnant. If the control line is clear and the test line is very light, it means you may be pregnant. Please collect morning urine with a new morning paper and test again every 2 days. If no control line appears within 5 minutes, it means the test is invalid or failed. At this time, you need to use a new pregnancy test stick to test.

Generally speaking, you can do the test yourself 7-10 days after sex. You can use early pregnancy test paper or pregnancy test stick to test pregnancy. The longer the time after sex, the more accurate it will be.

The working principle of early pregnancy test paper self-test is to detect the hCG value, that is, the value of human chorionic gonadotropin, which is excreted into the urine through the blood circulation of pregnant women. Self-testing with early pregnancy test strips is a relatively convenient and quick method of early pregnancy detection. This hormone is produced by the placenta and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy. However, due to the small amount, it is difficult to test it at the beginning and it becomes increasingly obvious after 10 to 14 days. Going to the hospital for a blood test can also measure the hCG value, and it is more accurate.
