How accurate is a home pregnancy test
Although most manufacturers claim 99 percent accuracy in laboratory tests, inaccurate pregnancy test results may be more frequent in actual use, due to such factors as improper use of the pregnancy test, using a product past its expiration date, exposure of the test to the sun, and cancers. The procedures outlined in the instructions must be followed exactly for the pregnancy test result to be accurate.
Whatever the pregnancy test result or the brand used, it is recommended that you repeat the process a few days later to confirm the results because after conception, a woman produces a minimal amount of HCG. The strength of each pregnancy test varies, and although a woman may be pregnant, the test may not pick up the amount of HCG hormone present during the first pregnancy test.

Taking them as a natural part of pregnancy, women are interested to prevent them. The bad news is, there isn't anything that effectively to prevents stretch marks. Although stretch marks are often noticeable during the pregnancy, the good news is that, they usually slowly change their redness to pink and then silvery and pale as time passes. |
