Pregnancy Test Kits, 1st Aid ( 2 Packs)

 Pregnancy test kits detect the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin  in urine to determine if someone is pregnant. To get the most accurate result, follow the kit's instructions carefully, test around or after a missed period, and read the results within the specified time frame, typically 3–10 minutes. A positive result is usually reliable, but a negative result may be inaccurate if the test was taken too early; it's best to retest in a few days or consult a doctor if your period is still missed. 

HOW THEY WORK

After a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, the body starts producing the hormone (hCG) .Pregnancy test kits work by detecting this hormone in urine.The hormone binds to antibodies on the test strip, which triggers a chemical reaction that creates a visible line or symbol on the test.A control line or symbol indicates the test is working correctly, while a test line or symbol indicates a positive result.

 How to use them, check the expiration date and read the instructions thoroughly before use.Use the right urine sample.

 First-morning urine is often recommended because it has a higher concentration of (hCG), but most kits work with a sample at any time of day.Follow the testing method: This could involve holding the absorbent end in the urine stream, dipping it in a cup of urine, or adding drops of urine to the device.Wait for the correct time:

Check the result within the time frame specified in the instructions, usually 3–10 minutes. Reading the result too early or too late can cause it to be inaccurate.Interpret the results: Follow the instructions to understand the symbols, lines, or words that appear on the test.

A common positive result shows a line or symbol in both the control and test areas, while a negative result shows a line or symbol only in the control area. Accuracy and when to test Test after a missed period: Home tests are most accurate when used after a missed period, around 1 to 2 weeks after the expected start date.Consider an earlier test: Some highly sensitive tests can detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before a missed period, but results are more likely to be accurate a bit later.

Be aware of potential inaccuracies: False positives are rare, but false negatives can happen if the test is taken too early. Medications or certain medical conditions can also affect results.

 What to do next If positive: A positive result is almost always accurate, but it's important to confirm with a doctor to start prenatal care and discuss your options if needed.If negative but period is late: If your period has not started and you still suspect pregnancy, repeat the test in a few days. If the result is still negative and your period hasn't arrived, consult a doctor.
