      female Precautions during early pregnancy

      Many women, without knowing they are pregnant, engage in behavior that they later regret. Therefore, precautions in early pregnancy are extremely important and are indispensable knowledge for women planning pregnancy.

      A correct pregnancy test

      Generally, pregnancy test pens will be marked with accuracy rates, such as 95%, 98%, etc. If there is no marking, it does not mean that the accuracy rate is 100%, because there are certain factors that may cause the pregnancy test pen to fail.

      Pregnancy test pen may not work

      Failure of the pregnancy test pen can be expressed in two ways:

      1 You are pregnant, but the test shows that you are not pregnant, that is, the pregnancy test pen is not sensitive enough: Possible reasons include the pregnancy test pen being expired and the medicine having expired.; Another reason is that there is a problem with the chemicals used by the manufacturer.

      2. If you are not pregnant, but the test shows that you are pregnant, that is, the pregnancy test reagent is too sensitive: when a woman is pregnant, the villous gland hormones in her body will increase, which can be detected through urine. The pregnancy test pen tests the villous gland hormones in the body. But villous gland sex hormones are present in everyone's body (including male ), but the amount is smaller. Some reagents are too sensitive and may give a positive reaction even in small amounts, causing users to mistakenly think they are pregnant.

      Check time is incorrect

      Testing too early or testing too late may cause incorrect test results. Some people test it 2 to 3 days after having sex, but often the test result cannot be correct. Some people take the test after a period of pregnancy. However, because the villous gland sex hormone value will increase with the number of weeks of pregnancy, for example, after 10 weeks, the value may reach more than 100,000, and the general pregnancy test pen will not be able to test after exceeding a certain value.

      How to take a pregnancy test correctly

      If you have doubts about the results indicated by the pregnancy test pen, it is best to use two brands of pregnancy test pens. In addition, you can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination. If the obstetrician and gynecology doctor feels suspicious, he will use different reagents or dilute the urine for testing. If necessary, he can also draw blood for testing. In addition, after about 6 weeks of pregnancy (counted from the first day of the last menstrual period), ultrasound can be used to see if the embryo is in the Uterus Inside. Although the accuracy of the pregnancy test pen is extremely high, it is not 100%, and it needs to be confirmed carefully to avoid the regret of using the pregnancy test pen to avoid being pregnant even though the pregnancy test result is negative, taking drugs or doing radioactive tests due to misjudgment, and later finding out that you are pregnant, causing you to be anxious and uneasy all day long.
