The faster and more convenient way of pregnancy testing now is to use a pregnancy test stick. Pregnancy test sticks are available for purchase in regular hospitals. We can test ourselves for pregnancy through urine. In the test results, if there is a bar on the pregnancy test stick, it means that she is not pregnant, but some women report that when they go for the test to get pregnant, it shows a bar. What is the reason for this?
1. Not pregnant: Only one control line appears, indicating no pregnancy.
2. Pregnancy: Two lines appear, namely the control line and the detection line, both showing color, and the detection line is clearly visible, indicating pregnancy; If the control line is clearly visible and the detection line appears very light, it may indicate pregnancy. Please collect morning urine with new morning paper every 2 days for retesting.
3. Invalid: If no control line appears within 5 minutes, it indicates that the experiment is invalid or failed. It should be noted that when the pregnancy test results show "two bars", do not assume that you are pregnant and do not proceed with further examinations. Because "two bars" does not necessarily mean pregnancy. In addition to the human chorionic gonadotropin in urine causing two bars on the pregnancy test stick, certain tumor cells or moles in the female body may also cause "two bars" on the pregnancy test stick.
4. The pregnancy test stick varies in depth: Generally speaking, if the control line is clearly visible while the test line appears very light in color, it indicates that pregnancy is possible and may not necessarily be true. In this case, you need to collect morning urine with a new pregnancy test stick every two days for retesting.
So the editor suggests that women who use a pregnancy test stick for testing should still go to a regular hospital for B-ultrasound to further confirm when the test stick shows pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to pay attention to supplementing nutrition in one's diet. Although pregnancy may bring some physical discomfort, expectant mothers still need to maintain a happy attitude to face these changes.
