In order to achieve better eugenics and fertility, women who need to prepare for pregnancy should undergo pre pregnancy examinations to eliminate factors that are not conducive to pregnancy. But some women are preparing for pregnancy for the first time and sometimes they are not sure if they are already pregnant, and they are also not very clear about some tests. So, which urine test indicator represents pregnancy?
The HCG value on the urine test report, also known as chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone unique to women, usually present in the blood or body fluids. Under normal circumstances, the content of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) remains stable, but once a woman becomes pregnant, this value will significantly increase. Therefore, HCG value is often used as a criterion to determine whether she is pregnant.
Women can also use early pregnancy test strips to check if they are pregnant. Generally speaking, the best time for early pregnancy test strips is about one week after the menstrual cycle. The best time for testing is to use morning urine for early pregnancy examination, at which point the HCG value significantly increases.
At this time, conducting testing methods can help women check whether they are pregnant in a timely and accurate manner. However, early pregnancy test strips themselves have errors, and most women are not professional medical staff. Improper operation can still result in incorrect results. Merely completing the reference examination does not serve as the basis for the final diagnosis.
Women can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which can help them know if they are pregnant as soon as possible. When the blood test shows a positive reaction for HCG, it can be diagnosed as pregnancy, which makes the results more accurate.
