With the development of society and technology, there are various methods for detecting pregnancy, and the testing time is becoming faster and faster. This is beneficial for pregnant mothers to have psychological preparation in advance, and couples who do not want to have children can also go to the hospital for surgery in advance. So, is the actual result still valid when using pregnancy test strips one minute late?
Is the result of the pregnancy test strip still correct if it is delayed by one minute
The accuracy of pregnancy test strips can reach over 98%, so there is no need to worry too much about early pregnancy test strips. Due to their convenience in operation, early pregnancy test strips can only be used as a tool for self-examination of pregnancy. However, whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy cannot be determined, and the sensitivity of HCG values in urine is not high. Therefore, early pregnancy test strips may not be able to detect ectopic pregnancy. To determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to combine clinical ultrasound and doctor's comprehensive judgment. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis.
How to use pregnancy test strips
Tear open the aluminum foil bag and take out the early pregnancy test strip according to the model (urine should not directly wet the observation area)
Strip type: Dip the white end of the test strip into the urine (the liquid level should not exceed the horizontal line) and hold for 10 seconds. Card type: Drop the urine directly into the sampling hole, about 2 to 3 drops (the urine should not directly wet the observation area); Pen type: Directly pour urine into the sampling area and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Place the test strip flat for 1 minute and wait for the red strip to appear; Observe the results within 5 minutes, and the interpretation is invalid after 5 minutes.
The delayed result of the pregnancy test strip by one minute can still be believed that only the correct method of using the pregnancy test strip can accurately determine whether the woman is pregnant. After the woman detects pregnancy, she should not be too nervous. The man should take responsibility, decide whether to keep the child, and calmly adopt the correct solution, which will help both husband and wife live in harmony.
