In anticipation of pregnancy, every woman wants tolearn about their situation much earlier, without waiting for a delay in menstruation, so it is important to remember how to properly do a pregnancy test. If a woman has an early ovulation, for example, on the 10-11 day of the cycle, then on the 25th day of the cycle, that is before the delay, she will be able to learn about pregnancy by making a test.
Also learn about your situation before the delay willmom, who is waiting for the twins. The fact is that in the presence of pregnancy a woman develops a hCG hormone. It is he who "strikes" the test strip, so if a woman has this hormone, the test will necessarily show it in the form of a second strip. If a woman becomes pregnant with twins, hCG is produced 2 times more, which allows the test to determine the pregnancy long before the delay.
When the pregnancy test shows twostrips, this does not yet indicate its normal course. In pregnancy developing outside the uterus, the test can only determine the presence of it, so in the ectopic pregnancy, hCG is often produced in the same volume as in the normal course.
