The pressure of modern life has increased, and pregnancy is not as easy as before. Many couples are eager to have a baby but are unable to conceive for a long time. If ovulation test strips are used to test pregnancy, does having only one bar above indicate pregnancy?
Using ovulation test strips to test pregnancy, the results show that there is only one rod, and the probability of a woman getting pregnant and not getting pregnant is equally high. Ovulation test strips detect the content of luteinizing hormone (LH) in female urine. Before ovulation, the secretion of hormones reaches a peak, and there will be two bars in the test strip. Women's bodies also secrete this hormone in their daily lives, and when tested with test strips, there is only one rod, so women may not be pregnant.
However, there is still a chance of successful pregnancy for women using ovulation test strips with only one bar. On the surface of the test paper, in order to detect the content of LH hormone, the manufacturer will apply a certain amount of chemical substances that can significantly develop with the hormone on its surface. If women apply too little urine on the test strip, the LH content is much lower than the amount of chemical substances on the surface of the test strip, and even if pregnant, the test result may only be one bar.
If women want to know for sure whether they are pregnant, they can go to the hospital for HCG testing. When the fertilized egg is successfully implanted into the female uterus, the female body secretes a hormone called HCG in order to maintain the pregnancy of the fertilized egg. The secretion of this hormone will increase over a considerable period of time with pregnancy. After more than ten days of successful conception, women can detect HCG in their urine through testing.
