Two lines on pregnancy test paper

Most female friends are familiar with early pregnancy test strips, and many of them will prepare some. They can test their pregnancy status by themselves a few days after the menstrual period ends, which is very convenient. However, some friends cannot grasp the correct operation methods, so the test results will be different. So, let’s discuss what the two lines on the pregnancy test paper mean?

What does the two lines on the pregnancy test paper mean?

Compared with other methods of checking whether a woman is pregnant, pregnancy test sticks are much simpler. Women can check it at home without going to the hospital. The basic principle of pregnancy test sticks for detecting pregnancy is to conduct quantitative analysis of the human hcg gonadotropin component in urine to determine whether the woman is pregnant. Pregnancy test results show information:

1. Only one comparison line appears on the pregnancy test stick: indicating that you are not pregnant.

2. Two lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, that is, the comparison line and the detection line are both colored, and the detection line is obviously clear: it shows that the pregnancy has already begun.

3. No contrast line appears on the pregnancy test stick within 5 minutes: This indicates that the experiment is invalid or unsuccessful.

4. One dark and one light color on the pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the contrast line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it means that you may be pregnant, but it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. In this case, you need to test again every two days with a new pregnancy test stick to collect morning urine.
