Patient's question:
How to accurately test if you are pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you do the test at home, the results are not always accurate. Moreover, the test results can be misleading, whether it's the color reaction or the line reaction, they are not easy to interpret. Besides, there are other obstacles to obtaining precise test results. Although many early pregnancy test strips indicate that women can do pregnancy self-testing one day after missing their normal period, in fact, this varies from person to person.Therefore, it is best to wait two weeks after the delayed menstrual period before doing pregnancy self-testing, as the results will be more accurate. If you do the test in the evening, the accuracy may be somewhat affected. Generally, the first urine of the morning will yield the most accurate results. At the same time, there are many non-pregnancy factors that can cause a positive test result, such as blood in the urine, recent pregnancy, ovarian tumors, and so on.
