How is the test paper for pregnancy

Patient's question:

Can the test strip determine pregnancy 100%? For three consecutive days, using the pregnancy test paper, there were two lines each time. A few days later, I went again, and in the afternoon and this morning, there were still two lines. Is there really pregnancy? How should the test paper be for it to be pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, ultrasound cannot detect it. Generally, it is around 40 days of pregnancy that the gestational sac can be seen on ultrasound. If two lines appear on a pregnancy test, it is likely that you are pregnant. You can go to the hospital to check for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone. If you don't feel any discomfort, there is no need to be overly anxious. Around 50 days of pregnancy, an ultrasound can be done to check for fetal heartbeat and fetal bud. If a red line appears in both the test and control areas, it is positive, indicating a high possibility of pregnancy.
