When it comes to the day when the 'big aunt' doesn't come to visit, female friends will have doubts in their hearts. Is this already there? Sometimes, the more I doubt my menstrual cycle, the more it seems like I deliberately avoid it and haven't had it yet. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up, but sometimes due to work reasons, time is tight. Is there a time when the pregnancy test stick makes mistakes?
Does the pregnancy test stick make mistakes
If the menstrual cycle is regular, there is normal sexual activity, no effective contraceptive measures are taken, menstruation is delayed, and the early pregnancy test result is positive, the possibility of pregnancy is higher.
The self-test rate of early pregnancy test strips is generally 75%, and it is effective within 5 minutes of observation. However, there are also times when there are test errors, such as false negatives or false positives. The examination results are more accurate after a 10 day delay in menstruation. Menstrual cycle delay of about a week is still within the normal range. If you are worried about pregnancy, you can closely observe. If your menstrual period is delayed for more than a week and you are afraid of getting the pregnancy test wrong after self testing, you can go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for blood HCG, B-ultrasound and other related examinations to confirm whether you are pregnant
Correct usage method of pregnancy test stick
1. When using a pregnancy test stick, pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired test cards, as chemical agents will become ineffective over time.
2. Try to use the first morning urine test as it is the easiest time to detect hormone levels. If it's really not possible, make sure that urine stays in the bladder for at least four hours before testing.
3. Don't drink too much water just to increase urine, as it dilutes hormone levels. Before starting the testing, carefully read the instructions and follow each step accurately.
4. Some drugs may affect the test results, so it is important to carefully read the label instructions. In addition, if it is an ectopic pregnancy, HCG levels may be very low and therefore cannot be detected through a pregnancy test. If you want to confirm the test results, you must see a doctor.
It seems that sometimes pregnancy tests can go wrong due to various factors. If it is a female friend who has recently had sex and has not had her period for a period of time after the due date, and is afraid that the pregnancy test may not be accurate, then it is necessary to take time to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible to avoid delaying for too long. Knowing the results early is the key to making early arrangements.
