How to Use Pregnancy Kit At Home

The word 'Pregnancy" unleashes a thousand butterflies in a mother's womb. The feeling of nurturing a life inside your body brings a burst of emotions and exhilaration. So, how can you share the news of this feeling? A Pregnancy Test confirms whether a baby is on board or not. Here is how you can conduct a pregnancy test at home:

Get a Pregnancy Test Kit:

Purchase a pregnancy test kit from a nearby drugstore to take the test. Make sure the test kit is intact without any opening as it might hamper the test results.
If you already have a pregnancy kit stored at your home for a long period, make sure you check the expiration period of the kit as it can affect your test results.

Decide when to take the test:

According to expert advice, you should wait until the next week after you have missed your periods. The pregnancy Test Kit detects the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (Hormone which confirms pregnancy) on the sample and helps in detecting the level of hormones effectively. If you decide to take the test on the day when you missed your periods, the level of HCG will not match the required level, and there might be a chance of a discrepancy in the results.

Try taking the test in the morning as hormones are easily detectable.

Read the instructions:

Make yourself comfortable with the instructions along with the symbols given on the test kit. Knowing this information beforehand will save you from the hassle of nervously running your fingers through the instructions when the test results come. Familiarize yourself with the specifics that may vary according to the test kit you are using:

A given change in color
Display of Symbols like + or –

Prepare yourself:

Having a loved one around will help you knock off chances of anxiety or dubiety.

Take the Test:

Wash your hands before taking out the test stick from the kit. Depending on the type of test you are running the process will vary. Some test kits require you to directly urinate on the stick for a stated time; some have droppers to place a small amount of urine onto the sample; while some others require you to dip the absorbent part of the stick directly into the urine cup for a recommended period.

Wait for the mentioned time:

We understand your body is trembling with anxiety and excitement at the same time, but for the kit to display the correct result, you will have to wait according to the instructions mentioned on the test kit. The wait time is usually from 1 to 5 mins, while some may take up to 10 minutes. Leave the kit untouched for a more accurate result.

Check the results:

If the result comes positive, you are pregnant, and if it comes negative, it is not necessarily a false alarm. The tests usually result accurately, but the presence of HCG is very low at the beginning of pregnancy so if you have unusual physical symptoms and you still don't get your periods until next week you should do a retest.
