The pregnancy test stick is weakly positive but the menstruation comes. What is the reason?

A weak positive result when using a pregnancy test stick does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. Sometimes a woman's menstruation will come normally, which proves that she is not pregnant. Generally speaking, there is a certain error in the testing process of pregnancy test sticks and it is not particularly accurate. If you want to thoroughly understand whether you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for further examination. In addition, you should also understand the correct use of pregnancy test sticks.

How to use pregnancy test stick

Pregnancy test sticks are an early pregnancy detection tool that is familiar to many women. They are convenient, fast and clear. So, how do you use a pregnancy test stick? How to use the pregnancy test stick:

1. Pregnancy test sticks are mostly used by women of childbearing age who have sexual life and basically regular menstruation, and whose menstruation is delayed by about ten days.

2. The sample with the most accurate measurement results is the first urine excreted in the morning. If you are really pregnant, the HCG content in this morning urine is the highest, so the result is the most reliable.

3. Urine should be collected in a clean and dry container to avoid affecting the measurement results.

4. When using, first look carefully at the marks and arrows marked on the pregnancy test stick, as well as the instructions on the package. Do not dip the wrong end into urine, as this will not result in any result.

5. There will be a maximum immersion line marked on the pregnancy test stick. Do not exceed this range, otherwise the measurement result will be invalid.

6. Take out the pregnancy test stick after soaking it for the time indicated on the package and observe the red lines that appear on the stick within the valid period of the result. If there are no red lines, the test result is invalid. If it is a squad leader (one bar), it means you are not pregnant, and if it is a squad leader (two bars), it means you are pregnant.

Precautions for using pregnancy test sticks

1. Check whether the pregnancy test stick is expired.

2. When using a pregnancy test stick, pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired test cards because chemical agents will become ineffective over time.

3. Read the instructions carefully before taking a pregnancy test.

4. In order to reduce the chance of inaccurate testing, read the instructions for use of the test card carefully before going to the bathroom for specific operations, and then follow the instructions carefully.

5. Try to use the first urine in the morning for testing. Hormone levels are most easily detected at this time.

6. Don't drink too much water as this will dilute hormone levels.

7. If you have taken medicines that may affect the test results, such as hormonal drugs, the pregnancy test stick may be inaccurate.

8. If the test result is positive but not obvious, you should assume that you are pregnant and go to the hospital for a check-up. If the self-test result is negative and you still haven't had your period after 1 week, you should do the self-test again. If it is not negative, it is best to see a doctor.
