Content: Validate with a blood test
You may like to verify the positive result of a home pregnancy test by running a blood test at a clinic. An additional benefit of a blood test is that it may also let you know the gestational age of the foetus, in case the test was positive. In case the pregnancy test result is negative but your periods don’t start within a week, taking a blood test can help eliminate the possibility of a pregnancy. 10. Mentally prepare yourself
Testing for pregnancy can prompt many mixed feelings. A first-timer is likely to be nervous whereas one may be disappointed if the test results are not as expected. Preparing yourself mentally and engaging the support of your partner and family at such a time may prove crucial. What Do Pregnancy Urine Test Results Mean
It is imperative to know how to read the pregnancy urine test results properly. 1. If Urine Pregnancy Test is Positive
While different brands may have diverse symbols, the appearance of a second line, however faint, on the pregnancy test stick (after the first line appears) indicates that the result is positive.
