1. **Read the Instructions**: Different pregnancy tests have different instructions. Ensure you follow the specific guidelines provided in the package.
2. **Perform the Test**:
- **Urine Test**: Most pregnancy kits use urine. Hold the test strip or stick in the urine stream or dip it into a collected urine sample, depending on the kit's instructions.
3. **Wait for Results**: After applying the urine sample, wait for the recommended time, usually a few minutes, as specified in the instructions.
4. **Check the Result Window**:
- **Positive Result**: Typically, a positive result will show two lines (one in the control area and one in the test area) or a symbol depending on the kit design. The test line should be as dark or darker than the control line.
- **Negative Result**: A negative result usually shows only one line in the control area.
- **Invalid Result**: If no lines appear or if there is an issue with the control line, the test is invalid and should be repeated.
5. **Confirm with a Doctor**: For an accurate confirmation, especially if the test is positive or if you have any doubts, consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a blood test or ultrasound for more definitive results.
