I bought a kit yesterday but honestly im a little nervous about doing it right. First time im testing so i dont want to mess up the result. Can someone explain how it actually works?
It picks up the hCG hormone that rises in pregnancy. I remember being confused by a faint line, so I waited and retested. If you test too early it can show negative even if you are, so morning urine after missed period is best na.
Basically it detects the pregnancy hormone hCG in your pee. Best to test after your missed period and with morning urine for accuracy. I tested too early once and got a faint line, retested in 2 days and it was clear.
The kit checks for a hormone called hCG in your urine, it shows up when you're pregnant. Use first morning urine, it's most concentrated. Two lines positive, one line negative. Wait the full time before reading.
I was shaking doing my first one haha. You put a few drops of morning urine in the well, wait a few minutes, and two lines mean positive. Even a faint second line usually means yes. Read the leaflet, it explains nicely.
