When women suddenly stop their menstrual cycle or experience discomfort, they will first think of using tools to do a simple test. However, many people do not understand some of the symbols above and do not know their specific meanings, so it is very inconvenient to use them. So what does the pregnancy test stick CT represent? Let's take a look together.
What does the pregnancy test stick CT represent
There are control lines and testing lines on the pregnancy test stick. C represents the control line, T represents the detection line. If only C shows color, it indicates no pregnancy. If CT scans show color, it indicates pregnancy. If only T color is detected, it indicates that this pregnancy test is invalid. It is recommended to repurchase and retest with morning urine. If it is displayed as one deep and one shallow, it also indicates pregnancy. As long as we observe carefully, we can easily learn to distinguish.
When is the most accurate time to use a pregnancy test stick
The detection is relatively accurate within one month of pregnancy or 7-10 days after amenorrhea. When using it, the first urination in the morning should be chosen for higher accuracy. Generally, HCG only appears in urine a few days after the fertilized egg and sperm combine, and it needs to reach a certain ratio to be detected. It is also related to the method used, and if the method is not used properly, there may be errors. In addition, the pregnancy test stick is not the most accurate, and there are times when the test is inaccurate. It is only used as a standard for preliminary examination, and it is best to go to the hospital for HGC examination.
If you want to know if you are pregnant as soon as possible, you must choose to take urine and test it in the morning, because the accuracy is higher at this time. After dripping urine to the exact location, it is necessary to patiently wait for about 3 minutes. If two lines appear after 3 minutes, it indicates pregnancy; if only one line appears, it indicates no pregnancy.
