How To Use The Pregnancy Testing

By Elaine Guthrie


A pregnancy test aims to determine whether or not a woman is pregnant. You will find markers in the tool that indicate pregnancy and usually found in blood and urine. Some women prefer to visit their doctor to ensure their PT, but for some opt for home pregnancy tests. Home PT can be found at different drug stores and even online. Here are some steps to use PT at home.

There are different brands of PT available out there. When purchasing your PT tool, it is vital to check the expiry date as well as the box. This is because, if the box has any damage, it could also affect the results. You may get a brand that will give you two sticks. This is especially if you are conducting an early pregnancy testing Mobile AL.

Next is to decide when to conduct the test. Professionals in Mobile AL say that it is best to take the test is one day after you missed your period, although waiting for one week is best. This is actually hard especially if you are worried to know if you are pregnant. However, waiting for this long allow a higher degree of precision when taking the PT, since the HCG level often increase in pregnant women.

Before using the pregnancy test, you need to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Basically, home urine tests are almost the same, but it is still important to follow such instructions given on the box. Most of the specifications will depend on the brand of PT you are using.

You can also try to use the midstream sample of your urine if needed. If you prefer to urinate directly to the sticks, you have to follow the instructions carefully.

You may also use a certain dropper to put an amount of urine on the stick. This is mostly required when you use a plastic cup method. You can also drop the urine to the stick. There are brands that need you to soak the stick to the urine. You can hold it for 5 to 10 seconds depending on the instructions.

Put the stick on a clean and level surface. You may need to wait for five minutes to ten minutes to give an exact result. You have to see some instructions on the specific time needed. While waiting, you may do something like reading a book and some exercises. If your PT is not working, you may need a different tool.
