As they always say, pregnancy is a joyous experience for women although it may be quite stressful.  In this stage of conception, a fetus is conceived and the mom will eventually give birth to a healthy baby.  Apparently, there are many signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy such as absence of menstrual period, tenderness of the breasts, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, and frequent urination. However, this may also resemble another underlying condition.  Therefore, if you suspect that may be pregnant, consider a probable way of identifying if you really are using a home pregnancy test.  Follow our instructions below on how to use pregnancy kit.

How to Use Pregnancy Kit

Pregnancy test kit is a good way to confirm if you are positive and if you’re on early pregnancy, and like an ovulation kit to test fertility, this one is very easy to use provided that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.  As soon as you missed your period or 2 weeks after possible gestation is the time when to use it.  It comes is different brands and the price or cost may vary, but generally this is how to use pregnancy kit.

1. Purchase a home pregnancy kit depending on your preference.
2. Wash your hands with soap and water to prevent contamination of the specimen.
3. Open the package and remove the stick from the wrapper.
4. Sit on the toilet and urinate on the kit.  You can also collect your urine through a sterile cup, and put atleast 2-3 drops on the sample hole using a dropper.
5. Wait for the allotted time based on the manufacturer’s instruction.
6. Usually, it takes about 3-5 minutes to see the result. Once the time is done, check the result.  The most common kits which make use of a strip have two colored bands.  If the strip has two lines, it only means that it’s positive and one line if it’s negative.  However, if it happens that you didn’t see any line, the test is invalid and that you may have to do the test again.

The accuracy of PTs is actually 97 percent, but there are instances when it gives a false positive result wherein the test says you’re positive even though you really aren’t.  This may be rare though and is oftentimes associated with other conditions such as early miscarriage or abortion as well as mechanical means of testing.

Well, this is it.  This is the proper usage of pregnancy kits that will let users identify if they really are conceiving.  Again, positive pregnancy test is accurate, however if you really want a positive sign for pregnancy, the fetal heart sound of your baby may be detected by your doctor.  Good luck!
