In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women generally do not have significant symptoms themselves, so there are always many questions and concerns for pregnant women. Some female friends may think of pregnancy when they see some symptoms on their body, but they are not sure. So how to easily determine if you are pregnant?
Early pregnancy test strips can detect whether a woman is pregnant. On the seventh day of pregnancy, a specific hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) can be detected in the urine of women, which is beneficial for maintaining pregnancy. In general, when urine is dropped into the detection hole on a test strip, if a colored band appears in the control area of the test strip (some test strips appear red, while others appear blue), it indicates non conception. Conversely, if a clear colored band appears in the detection area, it indicates positivity and pregnancy.
A pregnancy test stick can also easily determine whether you are pregnant, but it is not 100% accurate. To confirm whether you are really pregnant, you need to go to the hospital for examination. Try to use the first morning urine for testing, as hormones are most easily detected at this time.
Female friends can also monitor their body temperature to determine if they are pregnant. Before ovulation, the body temperature is generally below 36.5 degrees Celsius. After ovulation, progesterone increases and acts on the temperature center, causing the body temperature to rise by 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius. If the egg fails to fertilize, the progesterone will decrease and the body temperature will return to normal after about a week; If pregnant, progesterone levels remain high and keep body temperature at a high level. So if the high temperature curve phenomenon in basal body temperature lasts for more than 18 days, it generally confirms early pregnancy.
