How can a woman be tested for pregnancy? The general methods for detecting whether a girl is pregnant include using a pregnancy test stick, checking basal body temperature, taking an ultrasound, and so on. The pregnancy test stick is the most commonly used method for women to test pregnancy. It is simple to use, but there are still many things to pay attention to. So what does a deep and shallow pregnancy test stick represent?
The pregnancy test stick is determined by measuring urine HCG. A pregnancy test stick can generally detect one or two bars, with one bar counted as the leader and indicating that the patient is not pregnant; The team leader with two stripes in the middle of the calculation indicates that he is pregnant.
Generally speaking, there are several situations where a pregnancy test stick will show color:
1. Only one control line appears on the pregnancy test stick: indicating no pregnancy.
2. Two lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, namely the control line and the detection line, both showing color, and the detection line is clearly visible: indicating pregnancy.
3. If there is no control line on the pregnancy test stick within 5 minutes, it indicates that the test is invalid or failed.
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.
Generally speaking, if the control line is clearly visible while the detection line appears very light in color, it indicates that pregnancy may occur, but it may not necessarily be true pregnancy. In this case, you need to collect morning urine with a new pregnancy test stick every two days for retesting. So, if the pregnancy test stick is deep or shallow, it may indicate pregnancy, but the result may not be accurate and needs to be repeated several times to make a conclusion.
Women who use pregnancy test sticks should be aware that their test results are not 100% accurate. Therefore, we need to be more familiar with the use of pregnancy test sticks in order to avoid errors as much as possible.
