Pregnancy is a big event, especially for families looking forward to the birth of a new life. Generally speaking, the process of pregnancy for most women is relatively smooth, and normal intrauterine pregnancy is also common. However, there are also some women who may encounter ectopic pregnancy during pregnancy. Many people are afraid of ectopic pregnancy and use test strips to detect it in the early stages. So, how many bars are there for testing ectopic pregnancy with test strips?
There may be two bars or one bar in the test strip for ectopic pregnancy. Generally speaking, the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity is called ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy. The ectopic pregnancy test strip shows several bars, which are determined by the level of blood HCG, that is, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin. If the human chorionic gonadotropin is very high, the test strip shows two bars, and the second bar may be stronger than the first bar, indicating a positive or strongly positive situation.
If the blood HCG is not very high, the test strip may show two bars, but the second bar may be slightly weaker than the first bar, which is called weak positive. If human chorionic gonadotropin is very low, the value may show a bar, which is a negative situation. So, the condition of the test strip needs to be determined based on the specific level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood. Generally, HCG testing is more accurate when blood is drawn.
Therefore, ectopic pregnancy cannot be detected by test strips, only by doing B-ultrasound can it be seen whether it is inside or outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy can cause abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness. These are just surface phenomena, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination to feel more at ease.
