When preparing for pregnancy, one always thinks about when menstruation will stop. If menstruation does not occur, the possibility of pregnancy is higher. In addition to detecting early pregnancy symptoms, pregnancy can also be detected through urine tests, blood tests, and ultrasound tests. Can I eat and drink water before the pregnancy test?
It is best not to drink water before pregnancy testing. If using early pregnancy test strips, it is best to choose morning urine, which has high hormone levels and high accuracy of the test results. However, it is not recommended to drink water before testing. Drinking water can dilute urine and lower hormone levels, which can also affect the test results.
The method of pregnancy test:
1. Pregnancy can be tested based on symptoms. After pregnancy, there may be early pregnancy symptoms such as amenorrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, frequent urination, breast swelling, drowsiness, and unusual taste.
2. Use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to detect the level of HCG in urine. If it is positive, it indicates pregnancy.
3. Blood can be drawn to test for HCG, and pregnancy can also be detected, which is also the earliest method for detecting pregnancy. It can usually be detected after seven or eight days of sexual intercourse.
4. Conduct a B-ultrasound examination around 40 days after amenorrhea to check for the presence and location of the gestational sac. If there is a gestational sac inside the uterine cavity, it indicates an intrauterine pregnancy. If the gestational sac is outside the uterine cavity, it is an ectopic pregnancy.
