Why You Can't Rely On Home Pregnancy Test Kit

But they allow privacy and that is why they are used widely. Also, couples who haven't yet married, feel uncomfortable to go to a clinic for a pregnancy test. That is one reason why they choose a home test kit. But here are some reasons why it isn't a good idea...

Fact #1
The test kit comes with a set of instructions. When they aren't followed properly, the results may not be accurate!

Fact #2
After some time, the test kit turns dry (the urine drops evaporate). That is when both of the lines in test kit appear dark and that looks like a 'positive' result.

The test kit works by detecting HCG levels present in the women's urine. Testing a bit early could give a false negative result.

Fact #4
