Question on pregnancy urine test

Information on pregnancy urine test

Pregnancy urine tests are as accurate as their wrappers say they are. Most of the time, they are about 98 per cent accurate. This in no way indicates that they may not be faulty.


It is entirely possible that you form a part of the two per cent of the tests that went inaccurate. However, this is rare, if not uncommon. There could be, however, several reasons for you to have gotten wrong results (if you actually got wrong results) from a routine urine pregnancy test.


One of the most rampant scams is the sale of urine tests that have expired. It is sadly true that a whole lot of corrupt manufacturers and retailers sell tests that are well beyond their expiry date. They will simply paste a sticker on the earlier expiration date of the test and sell it top unsuspecting consumers, who really do not bother to check the packaging that closely. This could be a very strong and valid reason that you could have got a wrong reading. The other reason you could have possibly got a wrong reading is that there is a manufacturing defect in the particular batch of tests you are buying from. This problem, while not being so rampant, is possible and may occur.
