Avatar f tn Me again. So I was testing at the start of my urine stream. I have been waiting until midstream the past 2 times I've checked, and even after 120 seconds, there have been no leukocytes. So with the pain just in my urethra, and with the leukocytes appearing to come from the beginning of the stream, is it possible this is just urethritis and that's why it's coming back negative on a culture?
Avatar f tn Hi! I have used Clinical Guard ovulation strips, and they work. But I just discovered some called BFP, they make ovulation & pregnancy test strips, and they are super accurate and easy to read. They're my new "go-to" brand. I buy off of Amazon. Good luck! & lots of baby dust!

Avatar f tn Where can I get a bunch of test strips for ovulating for cheep. I am trying and trying to conceive but I haven't had any sucess at it. So I have been very down for a long time. I don't know if I will ever conceive at times I give up and at others I just keep pressing in and it gets hard daily.
Avatar f tn I've proceeded with 3 IUIs and 2 IVFs. After the trigger shot for one IUI and one IVF I tried to "test out" the hCG using pregnancy testing strips, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after the injections. I used a different brand of hCG for IUI and IVF. All test strips were negative. I used them correctly, and they were purchased for the "test-out." I have endometriosis, autoimmune disease that attacks my adrenals, ovaries and reproductive cells (killer-cells).
Avatar f tn With the note on hydration and different coloured urine during pregnancy, you require more water to stay hydrated during pregnancy so its easy to become dehydration and end up with darker urine at that point. I had a similar issue a couple weeks ago so I did a test where I drank 2-3 glasses of water.. Next time I went, it was no longer dark..
Avatar n tn But if you really did have something wrong like a gallstone or other bile blockage, then the urine test will remain constant in showing the problem on repeated tests. If you didn't have the strip stored properly, the testing chemicals on the strip will become compromised/contaminated and will give you the crazy results. Be sure your test strips are stored in a small, airtight container. And that you use a clean urine collection cup as well.
Avatar f tn I have been scared of ngu or some other form of infection. I have used multiply uti test strips which test white blood cell count in urine. None have been positive, one or two showed trace amount of wbc (I've taken about 18 tests). Would these show an infection (ngu) if one existed???
Avatar f tn i usually get my periods irreularly, i had safe sex with my partner about a 2 month before(in nov) using condom, bt i jst saw the condom was leaking, but i got my period after it in december on 14 , bt i am not geting my periods in this month, but todoy is 21jan, i am very worried i am nt gettin it, i had already done my pregnancy test using the pregnancy strips, on 14th jan it was negative, i again repeated this test on 16th, it ws again negative, and i vomitted on 19th morning, am i pregnent
Avatar f tn Hello, There is decrease in discharge before and after periods and during pregnancy. Hence to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.

Avatar n tn They sell amniotic test strips in pharmacies. At least they do here in Oregon. I would get checked at the hospital, then pick up a pack just in case. My hospital is an hour away, so the test strips help a ton. Good luck to you.
Avatar n tn The test strips that I use are 10LG Parameter Urine Reagent Strips which can be bought on line at a reasonable price. These strips detect Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose. You can get strips that detect less. The one that would be of interest if someone is suffering from dehydration is the Specific Gravity reading.
446156 tn?1275859576 a while passed and the blood wasnt back so I asked the nurse if he would repeat the urine test, but it front of me. He did, the test he used came up with a second line, but it was much lighter then the control line, and he told me that this was a negative result. I didnt argue with him.......my bloodwork came back and my hcg was over 500....
2011837 tn?1343797528 It could be urine or it could be fluid. Go to walmart and pick up some ph test strips from the fishie section! U should be able to test it that way! Urine is acidic whereas amniotic fluid is not!
Avatar f tn Yes, a urine quick test can tell you if you have WBC, but not if you have gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU or another infection that could be causing that. You need specific tests for that. If you have concerns about those, you need to let the doctor know so they can do specific tests.
Avatar n tn I again bought urine strips that detect blood only, and the strips shows non-hemolyzed trace only after drinking beer or coffee. If I drink a glass of water with a tsp of baking soda, the test strips come out negative. I guess my question is "is it harmful to drink a glass of baking soda water daily?", or should I return to the doctor and go thru kidney x-rays, cystoscopy, etc again? I really hate to give up my coffe ...
Avatar f tn I read what someone on this board wrote, and they said that after her OB visit, she was given meds for a UTI. Is that something the urine test will test for?
Avatar n tn I check my urine at home with Chem Strips to check for protein. About a month ago I noticed nitrates were testing positive on the strips (Only +first morning urine), I had no symptoms of a UTI and I did nothing. Then a few days ago my urine appeared green and was testing for blood, leukocytes, protein (I always have this), and still the nitrates(Now positive at any time of day tested). I then began having urgency issues as well as right side flank pain. I went to the Dr.
Avatar n tn I frequently use urine test strips to test my urine when I feel unwell that may be waterwork problem. Have had kidney stone surgically removed in the past. Nitrite on the stick will mean that it is a bladder problem - usually Cystitis. Positive leucocyte reading on the stick with or without signs of protein, usually means that there is a bacterial infection. If the doctor said you have a uti (urinary tract infection) this is anywhere from the kidneys down.
Avatar f tn it is showing that I am not ovulating, but with first morning urine it is much darker line. I read that those strips can indicate pregnancy as well as ovulation. Does this first morning being darker mean anything? I did another in the afternoon and it was light. I am having some pregnancy symptoms, and have take a test, negative. It would have been from sex on July 2nd. I have no idea about my cycles, none...
Avatar f tn I took another digital one the following day and it was negative so I took one of those cheaper test strips and got a possitive. Last night I took another one and it was negative. This morning I took 2 more. One of them is negative and the other looks like there might be a second line, but it's much much MUCH lighter than the ones I took Monday. I'm worried about a chemical pregnancy. Has anyone experienced this? Am I just overly stressing? Please ladies! Help me put my mind to rest!
