Got your pregnancy test kit? Here are our tips to make sure you get an accurate result!

Taking a home pregnancy kit test is the easiest and convenient way to confirm your pregnancy. There are chances the results may show false negative or positive. This might be because you took the test incorrectly or you were anxious enough to not read the results properly. If that is the case, worry not! Here are some tips to make sure you take the test correctly and get accurate results.

Tips for Taking a Pregnancy Test Correctly -

· Don’t Take a Pregnancy Test Instantly — If you had unprotected sex, you must be tempted to take the pregnancy test instantly but avoid that. The pregnancy test detects Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone (hCG) to give accurate results. It takes time for this hormone to develop and therefore taking test early may show false negative even if you are pregnant. The hCG hormone is produced when the egg is fertilized. So, taking the test after you miss your period is most likely to give you accurate results.

· Take Your Pregnancy Test in the Morning — To get accuracy of pregnancy test kit, it is recommended to take the test in the morning. This is because the level of hCG hormone is concentrated in your urine as it builds overnight. So, the test will be able to detect it without being diluted.

· Don’t Take an Expired Pregnancy Kit — When you check the pregnancy test kit price, be sure to check the expiration date too. Expired pregnancy kits will give you inaccurate results. The chemical used in the kits will not be able to detect the level of hCG, therefore purchasing a new test which is not expired will give you reliable and accurate results.

· Follow the Steps Correctly while Taking the Test — Read the booklet that comes with the test and follow the instructions properly before taking the test. There are various types of pregnancy test kits available in the market. Some require you to pee on the stick while some tells you to dip the strip in the urine container. Pregakem’s pregnancy test is easy to use as it comes with a unique urine collection tray. Collect the urine in the tray, with the help of a dropper, put three drops of urine in the cassette with the sample well marked ‘S’ and within 5 minutes you will get accurate results.

· Don’t Drink a Lot of Water Before Taking the Test — Drinking excess water can dilute the level of hCG in your urine. This may result in false negative even if you are pregnant. So, avoid drinking water or any liquid at least three hours before taking the test to get accurate results.

These are some of the tips which will help you get accurate results. While pregnancy detection kits are easy to use, give accurate results, convenient to carry and is reliable, you should visit your doctor for ultrasound as it will give you the confirmation. Doctors will also be able to guide you better and give you tips to have a healthy and safe pregnancy taking in consideration you and your baby’s health.

Price comes off as the type of husband who no matter if it's kid number 1 or kid number 4 he's always overprepared. He'll phone in shit for himself, but his family? Hell no 110% for them always. He's spending the weeks leading up to child birth getting your post op care kit put together, even making 4 or 6 weeks worth of padsicles (frozen aloë vera soaked pads). Like you swear he's nesting worse then you are.

You're not worried because you have John he's already written down what you want for your birth and you can bet your ass he's advocating for you especially when a nurse gets a bit too pushy about things he knew you didn't want. He might've even hired a Doula who could talk through the things he doesn't understand.

If you had to have a c section he was already prepared for that making sure the fridge is packed with ice packs and calling for extra hands to help (with the house and extra chores, like farm work. he'll take care of the wife and babe) he'll be by your side for the months it takes to recover. This man will make sure that the postpartum care he gives you is just as good as the prenatal care. He is up with the babe at night even if you're breastfeeding getting you back to sleep quickly while he just gently rocks baby Price to sleep make sure they're happy before he'll crawl back into bed with you.

-Hot Mess Rambler

(He just comes off as a guy who wants to make sure bad labor/recovery isn't the reason you don't have more kids especially if you wanted a big family)

God, you're so right. Price is a family man, and I firmly believe that. There's a universe where Price leaves the service after Goose is born, and she ends up with 4 extra siblings.

There's a lovely little pocket universe where Price is only home long enough to be there for the birth of his baby girl before he's deployed and he can't handle it. He can't handle not being there for you, wondering if you're handling the post-partum well, if the baby is alright, if you have the support you need. It kills him not being able to call you, not being able to see you. He misses so much, and it makes the military feel hollow. He thought this was what he wanted, the job he wanted, but not if it means missing the chance to be a father.

When he gets home his baby is so much bigger, she's eating baby food, she's smiling and grabbing for things. And you tell him it's alright, that he didn't miss the important things, didn't miss any of the firsts, but you have bags under your eyes. You're quieter, the house is messy, there's take away in the fridge. It's not how it should be, you're not taken care of like you should be. So he doesn't renew his contract. He leaves and he doesn't look back. You're in medical school, you're stressed enough. He stays home with the baby, and looks after things while you get back on your feet.

It's not the life he thought he'd have, but it's better in all the right ways. He's there for his baby's first steps, for her first word. He's there when you hold up a second positive pregnancy test and tearfully tell him you don't know if you can do it again. He reads every book, he talks to every expert, he prepares for everything, but he can never handle your tears or his own short comings. He can only promise that this time will be different, and that he truly isn't going anywhere ever again.

So you decide to have another baby, and Price makes up for everything he missed. He nests more than you do, he keeps Goose entertained, he takes over your prenatal care, he preps for the postnatal stuff. You have your baby with the utmost certainty that nothing will go wrong, and that even if something does at least Price will be there to fix it. You graduate medical school with a husband and two babies in the audience. Your little flat feels smaller with four people in it. Price suggests looking for residencies near your parents for the extra help, and you can't think of any reason not to.

So you move back to Texas. You wrangle a toddler and a baby onto a plane, you ship all your meager belongings, and you find yourself back on the farm with a lucrative position at the nearest hospital. And Price finds himself, once again, in a life he never imagined for himself. He discovers his toddler has an affinity for horses, he finds out his baby tries to eat worms, he realizes he wants a million more of these little things when their laughter fills the big old farmhouse. He realizes there's something special to coming in from a long day on the farm and seeing you passed out on the couch with two little girls cuddled against your chest.

He never misses the military. At least never more than he missed you in those months away. He goes to dance recitals, and 4H shows. He teaches a gaggle of kids how to shoot, how to ride a horse, how to rope cattle. He's never misses anything, he's never not there. He picks up five little Prices from soccer practice and realizes he's never been happier than he is sitting outside the hospital with your pack, waiting for the end of your shift.

Being sick || [John Price x reader]

Note: I loved John and the reader's chemistry in Four so here you go. This is the result of me suffering from goddamn covid myself.

Price hated to wake up without you by his side, especially when he was at home. After your date night on the previous day, he thought you could spend the morning in bed together, enjoying your short alone time. But when he woke up and turned to your side, he found the empty spot where you'd been when he fell asleep.

So he put on a shirt and began his short trip around the house to see where you were. In a matter of minutes he found you in the living room downstairs, cozily tucked under a fluffy blanket on the couch and reading a book in the silence the neighborhood provided so early in the morning.

"Lucas is with my parents and you don't use this opportunity to get some extra sleep?" he asked with a smile when he entered the room.

"I don't feel too well," you replied hoarsely as you closed the book and looked up at him. "I didn't want to wake you up with my coughing."

A worried expression replaced the loving smile the moment he heard you talk. "What's wrong?" He kneeled on the couch next to you and quickly checked your temperature by putting the back of his hand on your forehead. "Okay, you have a fever, you're going back to bed," he instructed before putting away the book and the blanket then reaching out to help you up.

But you pushed his hand away and stubbornly said, "I'm fine."

"You're not," Price told you when you started coughing. "Come on, I'll make you tea and bring something to bring down the fever along with a covid test."

"John."

Shaking his head, he simply scooped you up and began to walk towards the stairs with you. "This is not an argument you can win," he said with a know-it-all smirk.

"Ugh, fine."

"I hate it when you're being this difficult."

"I just can't be sick."

"You absolutely can." When you reached the bedroom and he gently lowered you on the bed, he sat down next to you and swept your hair out of your face. "Look, I can take care of you and myself just fine, and I'll ask my parents if Lucas can stay with them for a few more days."

Rolling your eyes, you looked at the ceiling. "I never said you can't take care of me," you murmured.

"You didn't have to," he informed you with a smile before he leaned down to kiss you on the lips.

"Hey, you're gonna catch whatever it is," you warned as you pushed him away.

Laughing, he stood up and held up his hands. "We live in the same house, I slept next to you last night, so I think I'd catch it eventually anyway. But fine, I'll give you space."

Ten minutes later Price returned with a tray in his hand that he settled on the bed next to you then sat down. "I'll put the tea on the nightstand because it's still hot. Here's a glass of water and some meds for the fever," he went on, giving you both. "And it's a good thing I stocked up because here's a covid test kit and a pill for your throat too."

"Doomsday prepper," you joked with a smile before taking the pill.

"All right," he began once he took the half empty glass from you and put it on the nightstand next to the steaming mug of tea. "Let's do the test. I brought myself one too so we'll see," he said, opening the boxes and neatly placing each item in front of you and himself.

Watching him with an amused smile, you leaned back against the headboard. "I can use a test, you know, I'm not dying yet."

"But I want you to rest."

At this point you gave up and decided not to force him. Price was glad you made this decision because he was too worried to deal with that. About ten minutes later you were both just sitting there on the bed, holding hands as you watched the two test panels.

It was you who broke the silence with your coughing fits every now and then until you said, "I was happier when it was my pregnancy test that became positive."

"Well, we're fucked. Let's hope I get away with it without symptoms so I can help you more," Price told you then began to collect the remains of the kit on the tray.

If there was one thing everyone knew about Price, it was probably how much he adored you since the day you met on a mission seven years ago. He was smitten, he knew that. Kate and Kyle often teased him about this, especially when they overheard parts of his conversations with you.

So now that you were sick, he was ready to spend the next few days taking care of you, just like you'd do if the roles were reversed. Once he took the tray back to the kitchen, he made himself a coffee then returned to the bedroom to lie down next to you.

With his legs pulled up, he dialed his mother's number and put it on speaker so you could also hear it. "Hi, Mom," he greeted her. "Look, can you get Lucas and yourselves a covid test?" His mother was surprised to hear it and her surprise disappeared the moment she put the pieces together. "Yeah, both of ours were positive so I just want to know if he's okay," he explained and his mother promised to do what he wanted. "Okay, thanks, Mom."

"Can we talk to him?" you asked worriedly, but she immediately explained that your father-in-law took him to the playground that morning. "Oh, okay."

"Call us if you know anything, okay?" Price asked then ended the call after a positive response. "I hope he didn't catch it," he said.

You watched him with an amused smile on your lips and he had no idea what it was for. "I love it when you're like this," you suddenly told him.

"Like what?"

Laughing, you reached out to take his hand. "When you turn on your worried-dad mode."

"Is that so?" he asked then leaned over to kiss you.

"Mmm-hmm. Like when I was attending a meeting in the HQ a few months back and you sent me tons of messages about taking him to a doctor because he had a mild fever."

Price laughed. "I freaked out."

"Yeah, I could--" you began but started coughing mid-sentence, "tell." When you could finally finish the sentence, you moved a bit to rest your head on his chest. "Thank you for taking care of us."

He couldn't help but look down at you with a big smile. Not because he was proud of himself, that was the bare minimum he could do as a husband and father. No. The reason behind the smile was how emotional you always got when you were sick or injured. It was cute and he loved it.

Later in the day--after finding out your son and his parents were all in the clear--he brought you another round of tea and meds, but this time he put some chocolate on the tray for you as well. "Liverpool's playing tonight," he stated as he sat next to you and sipped from his own tea.

"I know," you replied with a smile.

"You think you're gonna be okay while I'm watching it?"

With a cute little laugh you reached out to put your hand on his arm. "I'll be fine. I'm not dying. Maybe I'll watch it with you," you added after some thinking.

Raising your hand to his lips, Price said, "You should sleep, your fever's still not down."

"I'll be fine, John," you assured him.

He agreed. You were his lucky charm after all. The team couldn't lose if you were watching the game with him. So after you finished your drinks, he accompanied you downstairs, making sure you were okay on the way, then he tucked you in carefully with the blanket you left there in the morning.

[callsign-bunnie]

Can I get some Price, Gaz, and Alex comfort after that one shot you just did? Please and thank you :)

Of course, thanks raccoon.

--

Gaz curled up tightly on the couch, sipping the tea Price had given him. He ignored the way Price paced and ranted and raved. He was so tired but he couldn't sleep.

Violation filled his very soul and he felt like throwing up with every movement.

Alex finally came back to the apartment. He looked... downtrodden. He'd immediately left to find the bastard, but Gaz knew he'd be too far gone. That was the way the world spun. Alex came over and crouched down, taking Gaz's hand, gently.

Gaz melted when he saw Alex had his ring in his hand. Alex slid it on Gaz's finger. "I couldn't find him but I found this. I think it fell off."

Gaz relaxed. Price had stopped moving, just watching them. "You need to go to a hospital."

"I'm not doing a rape kit." Gaz mumbled. "No I've... No. I've seen my friends have to get those done. It would be like reliving it. Besides, they're not going to process it."

"They might." Price grred, but he didn't fight Gaz. "You still need to go to the hospital. Your arm is messed up." His tone softened as he sat on the couch. His demeanor had turned to be more gentle, though this was clearly uncharted territory for him.

Gaz slumped. Price was right. He'd need to get tested... He tensed, suddenly, the fear of pregnancy striking deep in his soul. He couldn't even stop the sobs from erupting out of his body, causing him to slump forward.

The tea spilled everywhere but Gaz couldn't care less. Alex immediately had his arms around him. Gaz didn't get it. His friends hadn't wanted anyone to touch them, afterwards, but Gaz wanted nothing less than for Alex to keep holding him.

Price eventually gently touched his shoulder, rubbing it gently.

Gaz relaxed fully, though he kept sobbing. Alex's scent surrounded him and Gaz felt blanketed by it. "God, what if he got me pregnant?"

"We'll take care of it." Alex shrugged, almost nonchalant. But Gaz could feel the tenseness in his body. It was so subtle anyone else would have missed the rage that was there, held barely at bay. But Gaz knew Alex, well enough, to know that this was a false calm.

Somehow, it only comforted him more. He looked up at Alex, melting as Alex wiped the tears from his face. "You... you still want to marry me, right?"

"What kind of question is that??" Alex frowned deeply. "I want to do so many things. I want to go find that motherfucker and snap his fucking neck. I want to break every bone in his body. And I want to marry you."

Gaz melted.

"Kid, it wasn't your fault." Price spoke up. "It's never your fault."

Gaz shook his head. "I... no, I had the warning sign. I should have been more careful... He... made it pretty obvious in the restaurant what he was going to do..." He felt ashamed. He could have avoided this.

Alex immediately shook his head. "No. No. Do not blame yourself." He almost was ordering it and Gaz paused at the intensity in his tone, tensing a little. Alex leaned down, kissing over his face. "You. Did. Nothing. Wrong." He separated each word with a kiss.

Gaz melted and the guilt started to subside. He nodded, after a moment. Everything would certainly not be alright. But... Alex still wanted to marry him. Neither of them blamed him.

"Can I take a bath?" He asked, after a moment, suddenly aware of how disgusting he felt. "I... I really want to get clean."

Price seemed to hesitate and for a moment, Gaz worried he'd mention the rape kit again, but... instead, he just nodded. "I don't see why not."

"I'll run it for you." Alex said, immediately, and left to the bathroom.

Gaz curled back up into the couch. The tea made him feel sticky but he preferred that to the earlier feeling.

"I'll clean up the couch." Price murmured, after a moment. "Come here." He offered his arm and Gaz immediately moved into it.

"Thank you... Dad..." He rarely used the nickname but Gaz didn't plan to deny himself, that night. He needed Price like he needed a father and Price clearly was willing to fulfill that role.

"Of course, son." Price murmured and kissed his temple.

3 Benefits Of Early Gender DNA Testing For Expecting Parents

Nowadays, every parent wants to know the gender of their baby, and for that, they are very fascinated to have an Early gender DNA test in the UK. It is up to each individual whether or not to undergo prenatal genetic testing. The tests, especially the pregnancy DNA blood test, offer crucial details regarding the fetus's health. As part of their prenatal care, healthcare practitioners from Blue or Pink provide genetic screening to all expecting families. Given below are the 5 Benefits of Early Gender Blood Tests in the UK for Expecting Parents, so go through them:

It helps in the name selection of the baby. Many parents begin compiling a list of names before their child is born so they have a variety of possibilities in case a name they've chosen.

It strengthens the bond between family members. Many people rejoice when a couple learns they are having a child. Early knowledge of a baby's sex might help families become more unified. You may also avail yourself of the pregnancy scan packages.

It also helps in planning special events for the baby. Young parents typically choose gender reveal parties as one of their first decisions after learning the sex of their child. For instance, if you are looking for a cheap early pregnancy scan, then contact Blue or Pink. 

How quickly can I get my results?

It often takes until the 10th week of pregnancy to do an early-sex blood test, and it might take at least a week for the results. You don't have to wait because the 6-Week Gender Blood Test in the UK may be performed as early as the seventh week of pregnancy. You may take the test online in the comfort of your own home without making an appointment for an early pregnancy scan.

How long do early gender DNA test results in the UK take?

Within 72 hours, you will receive securely transmitted results from the majority of at-home gender DNA test kits. You should receive the gender blood test results by email within 1-2 business days after sample collection if you select the BlueorPink baby gender predictor test and have a professional take the blood sample.

Therefore, as early as 10 weeks, a baby gender blood test in the UK offers an accurate approach to identifying the baby's gender and has no additional risks over a routine blood sample. However, the argument over the pregnancy DNA blood test and the varied prices set by your healthcare provider continues among politicians and expectant parents due to the controversy surrounding them.   Also Read: Common Myths and Misconceptions About Baby Gender Scans

Startup develops rapid test to help detect cervical cancer

- By Roseli Andrion , FAPESP Innovative R&D -

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in regions of Brazil with a low human development index (HDI), according to the National Cancer Institute (INCA). Its incidence could be reduced if women in the appropriate age group had access to regular screening tests.

Ziel Biosciences, a startup supported by FAPESP’s Innovative Research in Small Business Program (PIPE), has developed a cervical sample self-collection kit that can immediately detect cancer cells, somewhat similarly to a store-bought pregnancy test.

If the result is negative, the test should be repeated a year later. If positive, the woman should consult a specialist. “It’s only for screening. It empowers women to do their own test and go to the doctor at once if it’s positive,” said Caroline Brunetto de Farias, CEO of Ziel Biosciences.

The goal of the project supported by FAPESP, Farias recalled, was to find out whether a specific biomarker could indirectly point to the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and use this as a basis for a future rapid test to detect infection by the pathogen. “To our surprise, we discovered that it doesn’t show whether the woman has HPV. In fact, it detects the existence of a cervical lesion,” she said.

Biomarkers are indicators of differences between healthy and diseased cells, enabling physicians to prescribe personalized or targeted treatment for each case. “They help establish precision oncology via the development of specific options that are less toxic for patients,” Farias said, explaining that understanding what the biomarkers identified was fundamental in order to proceed with the project.

“The discovery was very important because it was so specific,” she said. The team found that a healthy cervix lacked the signature, which was detectable only when cancer cells were present, and the rapid test indicated the existence of a lesion instead of contamination by HPV.

Infection by HPV can lead to cervical cancer but does not always do so. “The problem becomes serious when the virus persists in an organism. It’s a silent virus that can cause a lesion in two to five years if the body can’t eliminate it,” she said.

Unique test

There are other self-sampling test kits on the market, but this one is unique because it is the only one that performs liquid-based cytology (LBC) instantaneously. “No rapid tests for cervical cancer exist anywhere in the world. That’s exactly what we’ve patented. We want to see it distributed throughout Brazil and other countries with similar conditions,” Farias said.

Ziel is partnering with city governments to have municipal health workers call on local women and give them the collector. “They prioritize women who live in rural and other low-income areas. They don’t go to public health clinics, because they can’t afford the fare, or they may be trans, or perhaps they don’t feel comfortable with male nurses. Whatever the reason, they can self-test and take the result to a doctor, who will discuss the case and decide if treatment is necessary,” Farias said.

The price consumers will have to pay for the kit in pharmacies is not yet known. “Everything has changed since the pandemic. For example, it used to cost about 18 Brazilian Reais (BRL) to produce the collector, but it now costs about BRL40, and we imagine the complete test will probably cost about BRL 50-60,” she said, adding that the cost will fall once sales ramp up to meet demand. The BRL/USD exchange rate is currently in the range of 4.80-4.95.

It may also be possible to win approval for distribution of the test kit by the SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde, Brazil’s national health service). Prevention is much less expensive than treatment, Farias recalls. “The point is for women to have the comfort of undergoing the test without having to talk to anyone if they’re shy about it. We want it to be accessible to everyone who uses pharmacies and health clinics in the SUS system,” she said.

Mass screening

This outcome would be positive from a public health policy perspective, as it would make mass screening feasible. “It could optimize the use of resources by the SUS. Some women go to their local public health clinic once a year, but this way they could go every two years, for example. A rapid test would enable clinics to screen more women in a given period and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in Brazil,” Farias said.

Screening by the SUS should reach some 40 million women, she reckons, or 60 million if those who use private clinics are included. “In 2021, the latest year for which we have statistics, only 15% of all women had a Pap smear. Cervical cancer is 100% preventable. It being the third most common cancer is unacceptable. Not enough is being done to combat the disease,” she said.

Farias has a PhD in cellular and molecular biology. She chose this area because she wanted to find a cure for cancer. “I was a dreamer. It’s a very tough task. On the other hand, while a physician can see one patient at a time, scientists who develop medications and diagnostic tests can reach many people at once,” she said.

Besides working at Ziel Biosciences, she teaches at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFGRS) and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). “I teach scientific entrepreneurship for graduate students, for example. I want students to think about how to transform a master’s or PhD thesis into a product or service that benefits society,” she said.

Ziel Biosciences is currently developing a smartphone app to work with the self-collection and rapid test kit. “The woman will be able to photograph the test result so that the app can interpret it while the stripe is still very faint, for example, indicating whether she should see a doctor immediately or can wait a year to repeat the test,” Farias said.

It is also worth noting that the same concept can be applied in other self-collection diagnostic tests using blood, saliva or urine samples. “Depending on the type of tumor, we can develop the right collectors for other rapid tests that give people more autonomy in terms of healthcare,” Farias said.

Better cancer screening proves a game-changer

[rametarin]

Just a theory

When they produce sonargrams that are able to fulfill the niche that we used to use X-rays for, and red light refraction sensors, and they make the engineering cheap, doctors lives will get easier and medicine will get cheaper.

Why are x-rays and sonargrams so expensive? Because of how difficult it is to engineer and patent electronics and technology. But as technology and mechanical engineering becomes more saturated across our culture, it's only a matter of time before an engineer makes a medical standard and benchmark meeting (or exceeding!) bit of kit that can clearly serve the purposes of telling when bones are broken, fractured and weak, and not. And similarly, tell when organs have masses, fistulas, fissures, ulcers, tumors, or obstructions of any kind. For pennies.

It's my theory that eventually the price of these devices will go down and it will become impossible to hold back medically viable tech from the market. Meaning, no more designated medical company monopolies and monopoly captured market prices. Cheap, abundant access to encephalograms, sonargrams, x-rays, and all kinds of testing. Tests so cheap even someone without insurance could afford them at less than it'd cost to buy a jug of milk.
