pregnancy test
The pregnancy test is the best way to confirm the presence of pregnancy. Home pregnancy test kits are available without a prescription in pharmacies. [1] There are two types of pregnancy test: [2]
- Home urine test : The home test involves placing urine on a chemical tape, so the result is ready in a minute or two; Where a woman collects urine in a container, then puts a pregnancy test stick in it, or uses a dropper to place a urine sample on the test strip, or she can put a pregnancy wand in the urethra, and each product differs from the other in the way the results are shown; Therefore, it is necessary to read the instructions for each product before starting the pregnancy test, and the results may appear in the form of: a change of color, a change in a specific font, or the appearance of a specific symbol; Such as the plus or minus sign, or an answer in the test box; Such as "pregnant" or "not pregnant".
- Blood test : a blood test must be done in medical centers, and there are two ways to verify pregnancy using a blood test: the quantitative and qualitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test; The quantitative test measures the actual amount of HCG in the blood. The qualitative test detects whether or not it is present. The blood test is more expensive, and the results can take some time.
