How to use IVF pregnancy test stick
Test tube baby has become an increasingly popular fertility option, while pregnancy test stick is a simple, convenient and reliable tool for detecting whether a baby has successfully conceived. So, how to use the IVF pregnancy test stick? The following four aspects will be described in detail: selection of pregnancy test stick, correct use of pregnancy test stick, interpretation of results and recommendation of relevant hospitals.
Choose a pregnancy test
There are many different brands of IVF pregnancy test sticks available on the market. It is very important to choose a suitable pregnancy test stick, because different brands may have different sensitivity and normal range. It is recommended to choose a well-known brand of pregnancy test stick, and choose a pregnancy test stick suitable for early, middle or late use according to your own needs. When selecting, you should also know the expiration date and storage method of the pregnancy test stick to ensure that it is fresh and effective when used.
At the same time, it is also important to understand some pregnancy testing principles. At present, the IVF pregnancy test stick on the market usually determines whether to be pregnant by detecting the level of pregnancy hormone (commonly known as progesterone) in urine. The test results are usually represented by "+" or "-", with+indicating pregnancy and - indicating non pregnancy.
Use pregnancy test stick correctly
Accurate results can be obtained by using IVF pregnancy test stick correctly. First, carefully read and understand the use method according to the instructions on the package. Generally, sample collection should be carried out in the first urine bubble with the most concentrated urine in the morning to obtain the most reliable results.
Next, take out the pregnancy test stick and be careful not to touch its test paper end. Place the end of the test paper directly in the urine for 10 to 20 seconds to ensure that the urine fully infiltrates the test paper. Then place the test paper in a flat and dry position. After waiting for the specified time (usually 1 to 5 minutes), the results can be read.
During the waiting process, avoid shaking the test paper to avoid affecting the results. If you use a digital pregnancy test stick, make sure to observe the results within the specified time, and do not make wrong interpretations. Some pregnancy test sticks may also be equipped with explanation of the results, which can accurately determine whether or not you are pregnant.
Interpret the results
The results of IVF pregnancy test are usually represented by lines, symbols or numbers. For the result of a line or symbol, one line represents pregnancy and two lines represent non pregnancy. Some brands of pregnancy test sticks use "+" or "-" to indicate the results.
No matter what kind of representation, you should carefully read the instructions and interpret the results according to the instructions. Sometimes, the results may be ambiguous. At this time, it is better to retest or consult the doctor's advice on the premise of ensuring that the correct use method is followed.
If the test results show pregnancy, the relevant medical institutions and doctors should be contacted as soon as possible for a more accurate and professional pregnancy examination. At the same time, attention should be paid to following the doctor's advice and guidance to ensure the safety and smooth progress of IVF.
Recommended by relevant hospitals
IVF is a complex medical technology, which needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional hospitals and teams. There are many professional IVF hospitals to choose from all over the country.
For example, the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the well-known reproductive medical institutions in China, with rich experience in IVF technology and a professional team. The Reproductive and Genetic Center of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is also a highly respected baby test tube hospital.
Therefore, in the process of selecting IVF, you can consult a doctor or seek advice from friends and family members to choose a professional hospital suitable for you for consultation and treatment.
