Pharmacy Pregnancy Test: Is It Now or Not Positive?

For those who are expecting to get pregnant, the anxiety of a tentant is very high, isn’t it? You go to the pharmacy and decide to go in, buy that pregnancy test just to get rid of it , around the  10th dpo (day after ovulation) . After all, what’s wrong? I confess, I did it a few times, but whenever I did it before the menstrual delay , I was disappointed. Even though she was pregnant, she was unable to detect hCG by the minimum amount of hormone she had at the time of pregnancy.

The positive pharmacy pregnancy test on the right is mine, and it was the first one I did when I got the positive on my youngest daughter’s pregnancy. The positive pregnancy test on the left is not mine, but from another brand and given by a reader.

Hope did not allow us to see that the line was evaporation …

The pharmacy pregnancy test is very sensitive. Most are still 25mUI, but as I mentioned in another article, there are those that have a sensitivity of 10mUI. More sensitive tests used to be quite expensive, but today there are affordable options. The Famivita pregnancy test, for example, is a test on strips with a sensitivity of 10mUI. This means that it is possible to detect a pregnancy up to 2 days before the delay of menstruation. You can purchase your Famivita pregnancy test in our online store.

Positive Pregnancy Test Very Clear

At the first opportunity, do you run to do the test, and the result? Either you are certainly pregnant, or you don’t report anything, or the test reports something that can cause even more anxiety. Yes, have you ever heard of a pharmacy pregnancy test  with the clear line ?

Clear line almost imperceptible.

This is exactly due to the amount of hCG hormone present in the body at that time, and can make women even more anxious. But there is no way, if it happens, here we go for another pharmacy test, or even a blood test, which can also be negative. There is also the possibility of the result of the indeterminate test, to the frustration of the future pregnant woman.

So you ask: how to avoid this situation? Just wait a little longer. I know that for some, it seems to be impossible. But waiting is worth it for avoiding the headache of having a test with the very clear line in hand.

Evaporation Line

Have you ever heard of evaporation line? It is the line of the mark of the place where the positive result of the test would be. It may change color after a period of testing. But pay close attention to the color : this evaporation line is greyish in color, not pink like the weak line of the positive pregnancy test. If the line is pink it is positive, whatever the intensity! And you can admit, we always swear we saw the second weak line in the test, right? And a long live to the anxious tempting!

Recurring Questions from Readers!

Is pharmacy pregnancy test reliable?

Yes, you can trust the pharmacy pregnancy test. The vast majority of tests available on the market have a very good sensitivity of 25mUI / ml. High-sensitivity tests are also used in laboratories to test the blood serum that is collected. That way they can indicate pregnancy in the same way that it is done with urine. Some pharmacy pregnancy tests are even more effective than the laboratory’s own qualitative blood test. the lab. That’s because they can detect up to 10mUI / ml!

To better understand, the lower the number of mUI / ml that a test can detect, the greater its sensitivity. This number refers to how much hCG in the body the test can detect, and more sensitive tests can indicate pregnancy early on. So when choosing a good brand with a high sensitivity like 10mUI, you can have a positive up to two days before the delay.

Pregnancy Test Value and Benefit

Taking the home pregnancy test is very practical and comfortable, but does it pay off? I think so. Some brands are great. The problem is when the amount of tests that could be done could cover the value of a quantitative beta in the laboratory. So each must weigh the value and benefits of each type of test. If you trust the brand, you can use it with the confidence that mistakes are extremely rare. But if you still have doubts, a beta made in the laboratory is the best option.

Is Weak Line Positive or Not?

The weak line is a sign that there is little hCG in the woman’s body. So it is recommended to repeat the test in a week or you can follow the evolution to know if the hormone level is going up or if that test gave some kind of problem. It can happen, even more if it was done the wrong way or if the person was bad luck in catching one with problems.

Following the instructions on the packaging  is very important and a valuable tip. Pee in the cup and then run the test, don’t do it directly on the straw because it can spoil and then money is thrown away. Overall weak line appeared before 10 minutes? Considered positive .

Pregnancy Test Marks, Which are Cheap and Efficient?

There are some brands that are very cheap, Confirme and Easy Test, for example, are two good and cheap brands! However, both must be done after the delay . Some women can get lucky and already detect HCG before the delay . But this is not a rule, but an exception.

To detect a pregnancy before the delay, the ideal is that it has a sensitivity of 10mUI. The options available for high sensitivity tests are Baby Detect, Confirme and the Famivita pregnancy test. Despite this, it is worth mentioning that Baby Detect is recommended for use from the first day of the delay, Confirm the day before and Famivita up to 3 days before. The Famivita test has the most attractive price and the best cost-benefit ratio. You can purchase your Famivita pregnancy test here , in our online store.

The only pregnancy test brand I don’t trust is Gravtest. She has already given me several false positives and also a false negative.

The Clear Blue brand is trustworthy. However, the test should not be read after 10 minutes because it tends to give a second line even if the woman is not pregnant. This is because of the  type of dye and tape the factory uses. Overall if read within 10 minutes it is reliable.

See the test gallery of the blog , if you have a photo you can send it to [email protected] that I put in the gallery to help even more girls who want to get pregnant.

Is there a false positive pharmacy test?

Even though the majority of test laboratories sold in pharmacies claim that it is not, it is possible. The reasons may vary, such as the quality of the material used in the production of the test. It may also be something with the woman’s body, a recent miscarriage, taking drugs that contain hCG in their composition or the hydatidiform mole, a benign tumor resulting from an unviable pregnancy. So it is always recommended to confirm the positive with another test, or to guarantee with the blood test
