How to Use Pregnancy Strip Test

Updated on 3 November 2023

If you have been trying to become pregnant and haven't had your period for a while, the first thing you should do before heading to the doctor is run a pregnancy test on your own at home. Even while there is no doubt that analyzing the findings of a pregnancy test is simple, many people still find it challenging to understand how to use pregnancy strip test. You should read this post if you are now nodding your head yes.

How do pregnancy tests function?

  • To determine whether or not you are pregnant, a pregnancy test measures the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) present in your body. hCG may be seen in your blood as well as in your urine. However, since this hormone requires time to build up in your body, extremely early pregnancy tests may give you a negative result even if you are pregnant. During the early stages of pregnancy, your body will produce more hCG daily. Because your body will be making an increasing amount of hCG as the pregnancy progresses, it will become more probable that a pregnancy strip test will reveal a positive result.

  • The hCG level in your urine or blood is what pregnancy tests use to determine whether or not you are pregnant. A piece of reactive paper is used in a urine test to identify the presence of hCG. This may display a plus sign, two vertical lines, or even the word "pregnant." A positive result will be indicated in various ways depending on the test. You can find out what a positive impact on the test will look like by reading the instructions that come with it. There will also be a control window that appears at the beginning of the exam when you take it. If the test is functioning well, you will see that this window displays a symbol. It is essential to keep in mind that the processing time for various test brands may vary significantly.

  • Before opening the pregnancy test kit packet, ensure your hands are clean.

  • Put the dropper in the container holding the urine sample, and then pour some of the urine samples into the dropper.

  • Now, place the pregnancy test strip horizontally, and notice a little hole on one end of the strip. Put some of the pee you just collected on top of the hole. After the drips have been absorbed, place the ribbon in a vertical position.

  • The test results will be shown on the testing strip within a minute or two. The following is an explanation of what it means if you see it:

  • 1 line: Negative. This indicates that you are not pregnant at this time.
