We know that test strips are a method used by most female friends to determine if they are pregnant. Normally, if the test strip shows two bars, it indicates a high possibility of pregnancy. However, some female friends are very worried when they find that after using the test strip, they show pregnancy but experience bleeding symptoms. So what's going on when the test strip shows pregnancy and bleeding? Next, the editor will answer for everyone.
The test strip shows that she is pregnant and still bleeding. What's going on
I tested pregnant with a urine test and found vaginal bleeding again, which may be due to threatened miscarriage during a normal pregnancy. It may be a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Due to symptoms of vaginal bleeding, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine if you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, further diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy is more conducive to early treatment. If the bleeding stops after treatment, the pregnancy can continue and be closely monitored.
Is the test strip accurate in showing pregnancy
Experts say that the correct testing rate of early pregnancy test strips varies greatly from 50% to 98%. Women should only use early pregnancy test strips as the first step in testing, and it is best to go to the hospital for an early pregnancy examination in a timely manner. The main factors affecting the accuracy of test strips are as follows:
1. Testing in the morning and evening: Urine in the morning generally has the highest HCG value, so many instructions recommend testing in the morning, but this is not absolute.
2. Timing of detection: HCG usually appears in urine a few days after implantation of the fertilized egg, and a certain amount is required to be detected. Therefore, for women with normal menstrual cycles, HCG may only be detected in urine after the menstrual cycle is delayed. Women with long menstrual cycles or abnormal ovulation may only be detected after 40-44 days of amenorrhea.
3. Urine dilution: Drinking too much water may dilute urine, leading to false negative results.
4. Immersion length: Sometimes the length of urine immersion test strips may be too long, making it difficult to determine the test results.
After using test strips to detect signs of pregnancy, if female friends still experience bleeding symptoms, they must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. It is highly likely to be a sign of miscarriage, and timely measures should be taken to protect the fetus. Of course, pregnancy test strips may not be 100% accurate. It is recommended that female friends also go to the hospital for blood tests and ultrasound examinations.
