What are some simple ways to self-test pregnancy? Do you know all of this?

When judging pregnancy, women always put menopause first. But in fact, amenorrhea is not the only symptom of pregnancy. So, how to improve the accuracy of determining pregnancy? As long as the method is used properly, the accuracy rate is almost above 80%.

Basal body temperature measurement

Some women measure their body temperature every morning after waking up for the purpose of contraception or because of infertility. The temperature at this time is called basal body temperature.

Generally, the body temperature before ovulation is below 36.5 degrees. After ovulation, the body temperature rises by 0.3-0.5 degrees and lasts for 12-16 days, with an average of 14 days. If the high temperature curve of basal body temperature lasts for more than 18 days, pregnancy can be diagnosed.

Early pregnancy test

This method is not only simple but also highly accurate. Generally, it can be detected 7-10 days after menopause (two red lines indicate pregnancy, even if one is dark and the other is clear; only one red line means no pregnancy). As for the specific use of the early pregnancy test strip, you just need to refer to the steps on the instructions.

It should be noted that since it is in the early stages of pregnancy, the accuracy of using morning urine is higher (morning urine refers to the first urine after getting up in the morning).

If your period is delayed for 10 days and still cannot be detected, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Frequent urination

When the embryo is formed in the mother's body, the body will secrete a hormone called hcg (Chinese translation unknown). As the progesterone surges, the blood circulation in the pelvic area is accelerated, stimulating the bladder and anus, causing women to often need to go to the toilet.

Sensitive, fragile breasts

Gently touching the breast or nipple will also cause a painful feeling. At this time, the color of the nipple will turn darker, the breast will swell, and the blood vessels will dilate until they are visible to the naked eye.

In addition to the above methods for self-testing pregnancy, the following symptoms of early pregnancy can also be used as a basis for judging pregnancy.

Nausea, vomiting

This phenomenon is called "morning sickness" because most pregnant women feel nauseous and stuffy in the morning. Part of the reason for this is that your blood sugar drops when you're fasting, causing vomiting. Although this phenomenon is called "morning sickness," it can happen at any time. Therefore, some women wear "seasickness patches" while working to prevent the inconvenience of daytime vomiting.

Weird sense of smell

If you think it's weird to like the smell of gasoline and shoe polish, try this: smell some smells you once loved, such as perfume, coffee, and cooking smells, which suddenly become strong, offensive, and make you want to vomit.

Fatigue

When you're pregnant, your body increases its production of progesterone, a hormone that has a natural calming effect.
