Home Pregnancy Test Kits Measurement Tactics
When you are pregnant, the HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) hormone is produced by your body and the levels of HCG keep on increasing in the blood and urine. This is a sure pregnancy symptom and home pregnancy test kits use this to detect pregnancy accurately.
HCG levels should never drop during pregnancy as this indicates that you are heading towards miscarriage and are going to lose your baby.
HCG Levels Range
The HCG levels keep on increasing throughout pregnancy. Initially after some 10 days after ovulation, it is only around 10 -50 mlU/mlHCG. Around 20 -22 days after ovulation, it ranges from 80-800 mlU/ mlHCG. Around 10-12 weeks of pregnancy, HCG level might reach almost 300,000 mlU/ mlHCG.
Home Pregnancy Test Kits
Follow these procedures while checking out your pregnancy using home pregnancy test kits:
i) Preferably use your first early morning urine for your testing process.
ii) Wait for 1 to 3 minutes to detect the answer.
iii) Don’t read the results after 5 minutes.
iv) Follow instructions mentioned on the packet. Read them carefully before attempting the test.
v) Attempt the test after you have missed a period as most tests detect HCG levels only after they reach at least 100mlU/ mlHCG.
