Do I need to be on an empty stomach to test the pregnancy stick? Can I test the pregnancy stick after a meal?

In the early stages of pregnancy, it is best to use a pregnancy test stick on an empty stomach for better accuracy. Eating may affect the results of the pregnancy test stick and cause errors, so it is recommended that you test directly in the morning as soon as you wake up for the most accurate result.

It is best to use a pregnancy test stick on an empty stomach. The mechanism of action of the pregnancy test stick is to use colloidal gold to react with human chorionic gonadotropin in the body. A positive reaction indicates pregnancy. The effect of using a pregnancy test stick on an empty stomach is better, so it is recommended to use it on an empty stomach.

You can take the test after dinner, but using a pregnancy test stick after eating will have a certain impact, but it is not necessarily inaccurate.

When the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin is very low, consuming some liquids will cause the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the body to drop even lower, causing the test results to be inaccurate. When the level of human chorionic gonadotropin is high, consuming some food in time and the hormone content is at a concentration that can be tested will not have any effect if you use a pregnancy test stick after eating.

1. Eating food will ingest water, which will enter the blood after absorption, reducing the level of human chorionic gonadotropin and causing inaccurate test results.

2. When you wake up in the morning, the human chorionic gonadotropin in your urine has accumulated overnight, so the content is higher and the test result is more accurate. It will be affected after eating.

1. To ensure accurate results, if it is early pregnancy, it is recommended to use the first urine test in the morning.

2. The urine should stay in the test area for a short time, and should stay for 1 to 2 seconds.

3. The urine should be accurately immersed in the sampling/absorption area and not in the observation area, otherwise the pregnancy test stick will become ineffective.
