Home pregnancy test
kit
Home
pregnancy tests are very much helpful and it is believed by the users that the
result given by the home pregnancy tool kit is very much accurate. It is one of
the cheap ways of testing whether a lady is pregnant or not. The strips with
which the pregnancy is tested is also easily available in the market. The strip
is prepared on the principle of the antigen and antibody reaction. Therefore it
checks for the availability of the HCG hormone (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
in the substrate that is given (either urine or Amniotic Fluid) on the strips.
And after the reaction, it indicates with the help of a colour change that the
lady is pregnant or not.
A Negative result
in the first place
Recently
after many cases, it is seen that those pregnancy strips during the testing are
giving first response false negative test
in many cases. Almost one out of fifteen results comes faulty or negative.It is
very scary for any mother if the pregnancy progresses without any notice.
Therefore, for this reason, it is suggested to plan it properly and even when
the pregnancy home toll kits are giving negative results, doctors should be
consulted for further testing. However, there are much reasons having a
negative result.
The reason behind
this faulty result
There
are many results behind this negative response when a woman is truly pregnant.
They are:
·
Too Early Testing: The kit of home pregnancy
should be used until the first period is missed after the successful coitus.
Too early testing will not have sufficient concentration of HCG in the urine.
So the result might be very much faulty.
·
Expired pregnancy test tool kit: Before vying the pregnancy test
tool kit, one should always check the expiry date of the product. The product
is properly sealed or not should also be taken into consideration while buying.
Improper sealing or expired product will lose its sensitivity to test the HCG
present in the urine resulting in negative result in pregnant condition also.
·
The test should be done properly: The pregnancy test should be
done following the instruction is given in the product. There are the different
website, of those companies and other too that has enough information about the
procedure of its usage. Proper technique will surely fetch a good and
convincing result.
·
Using urine in the most diluted
form: The best
time for the sample collection is the morning urine. As there are fewer
impurities and other metabolic waste present at that time. So chances of
accuracy increase with its usage.
Medications can
also intervene the result of the pregnancy tool kit
Use
of different medication like the different drugs for solving fertility issues,
other drugs like the birth control pill can definitely interfere with the
result. Although nowadays many birth control pills are present in the market
which does not interfere in the result of the pregnancy tool kit.
Conclusion
Thus,
for every woman while using the pregnancy test tool kit, a question pops out in
their mind, that can a first response
test be wrong? So the answer to that is if all the conditions are kept
right then it expected to get a result of highest accurate form.
