Medical Video: Why my pregnancy test result came negative?
Some women can only see the results of a positive test pack, even though after a doctor's check and an ultrasound check it turns out he is not pregnant. This also happens to you. Actually whatthe cause of the error in the pregnancy test results? Why does the test pack sometimes show positive results, even though you are not pregnant?
How the test pack works
The pregnancy test pack basically works by checking hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) which appears in the body of a woman who is pregnant.
This hormone exists because it is produced by placental cells that enter the bloodstream when the egg is fertilized in the womb for less than a week. Then, what is the cause of the fake pregnancy pack test?
The cause of the positive test pack results when not pregnant
The results of pregnancy pack tests are not always accurate. The commercial pregnancy test can only detect pregnancy up to 97 percent. That is why some cases can show the positive test pack results of pregnancy, even though in reality you are not really pregnant after being checked by a doctor. This is called a false positive alias false positive.
What caused it? Are the tools you use really damaged, or because there is something wrong with your body? Here's the description.
1. Not following instructions
If you use a test pack for a pregnancy test, it is important to check the results within the period according to the instructions for use. If you deliberately let the test pack read too long, the urine in the test can evaporate and make it look like two lines appear, not just one. The best way to avoid this is to read the pregnancy test instructions and follow the directions correctly to avoid false positive test packs.
2. Are taking fertility drugs
When you take a pregnant program, you are given medication or injections of fertility, one of which is injecting hCG. Unfortunately this can make the results of a positive test pack during pregnancy become fake.
According to Zev Williams, MD, a medical doctor at Albert Einstein College, this is indeed true for many women.
Women who are highly motivated and try to get pregnant, are more likely to undergo pregnancy tests through an earlier test pack. As a result, some have experienced false positive test packs.
3. You miscarried early
A false positive test pack may indicate that you have an early miscarriage. Actually there is a possibility that you are indeed already pregnant, but because of several causes, you can also experience an early miscarriage.
Most miscarriages occur in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, and although there are no real statistics, it is estimated that many miscarriages occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant. According to the American Pregnancy Association, this chemical pregnancy, commonly referred to as such, occurs when pregnancy disappears shortly after implantation
Usually, it happens because of a chromosomal abnormality in a fertilized egg. This chemical pregnancy causes 50 to 75 percent of all miscarriages.
4. You still have the remaining hormone pregnancy after a miscarriage
After you give birth or miscarriage, the hormone hCG can still survive in your body for months. Dr. Williams of the American Pregnancy Association said that the body needs some time to normalize hCG levels again
This can also occur because some placentas can remain in the body, and can continue to produce hCG at some time after a miscarriage.
However, calm down. Cases like false positive test packs like this are rare. It's good to immediately consult a doctor if you have any doubts or further questions.
