The pregnancy test stick is not unfamiliar to everyone. It is a simple pregnancy test tool that is very easy to use. But in order to obtain accurate results, it is necessary to master the correct method of pregnancy testing. Avoid incorrect use, obtain incorrect results, and cause trouble. So, is the pregnancy test done this afternoon?
The pregnancy test stick should be used 7-10 days after amenorrhea. It is recommended to use a morning urine test as the accuracy of the results obtained during this stage is high. HCG usually appears in urine a few days after the fertilized egg and sperm combine, and can only be detected after reaching a certain proportion. Using a pregnancy test stick in the afternoon is also possible, but it is not as accurate as using morning urine to obtain results.
To obtain accurate results from a pregnancy test, one should not deliberately drink water to increase urine output, as this can affect the concentration of hCG in the body after dilution and result in inaccurate test results. If you are taking medication, it may also affect the test results. It is recommended to read the instructions carefully before use or consult a doctor.
If the results obtained from the pregnancy test stick are inaccurate, it may be due to improper operation, short pregnancy time, taking medication that affects the results before the test, or expired or improperly stored pregnancy test sticks, etc. Therefore, before using a pregnancy test stick, it is necessary to carefully read the date on the instruction manual and avoid using expired pregnancy test sticks. If the pregnancy test stick is damp, it is also not suitable for use.
