When female friends undergo pregnancy tests, they mostly go to pharmacies to buy early pregnancy test strips, and then test their morning urine to know if they are pregnant. And you can also go to the hospital for blood tests, which can provide more accurate results. So, is pregnancy something that cannot be tested with test strips?
When pregnant women use test strips for testing, there may be situations where they cannot be detected. If the pregnancy is too short, it cannot be detected using test strips. Using test strips to test pregnancy is to measure the HCG value in a woman's urine.
Although the HCG levels in women's bodies increase significantly after pregnancy, the first to rise is the blood HCG level, while the urine HCG level rises relatively late and at a slower rate. If early pregnancy test strips are used too early, even if a woman is already pregnant, pregnancy cannot be detected due to the low HCG value in urine. So when using early pregnancy test strips, everyone should control the timing.
Early pregnancy test strips must be used according to the instructions, otherwise it may affect the test results and lead to incorrect results. And when purchasing early pregnancy test strips, attention should be paid to the shelf life. In addition, the success rate of early pregnancy test strips is not 100%, and there may be errors, which can lead to situations where pregnancy cannot be detected.
