urine-test

Avatar n tn According to the information around this kit it is based on a urine sample which you send away. It is meant to be accurate if you have symptoms. This is day 7 after oral sex given to me, I am male and I sure have symptoms. The kit arrives tomorrow. Are these kits accurate, or do I need to see a doctor too to confirm? Any help appreciated.
Avatar f tn re basically the same, although some women prefer certain brands over others. Usually, the 7-test kits are midstream test, so a little easier to use, while the higher-quantity ones tend to be strips that needs to be dipped in urine, so requiring that you collect it in a cup first. I've used both types and they seemed to work equally well for me. Best of luck this month!
Avatar f tn I am wondering what the difference is between a strip test and midstream ovulation test? Is there a difference? is one more accurate?
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.
387168 tn?1214756393 Has anyone tried the ovulation kits? I have the Early Response ones. I havent got a test line at all and last night all of a sudden there was a faint faint line along side of the control but then tonight there was nothing again. What do you think that means, I plan on testing everyday, I dont care how much money it cost me. Whats anyone else's opinion?
218870 tn?1240255655 I think it's a scam, too. Doctors who've reviewed it said there's no way to determine gender using a urine test. Plus, $30-40 is A LOT of money!!! I'd rather spend it on baby stuff.
20685177 tn?1503673320 I am familiarising myself with STD transmission risks and other information, however from time to time a varsity student tends to ask me something that simply has me at loss for a decent educated answer. Recently I bought a box of rapid HIV test kits (blood/plasma) so that I could have a discussion and testing session with a few first year students who admitted to sometimes taking sexual risks.
Avatar f tn Im trying to get pregnant and im very anxious to find out if i am. I took a pregnancy test yesterday with a predictor kit and it had a faint positive line. I took another today and the same thing happened. Both results were read in the time frame and are still visible now. I really want to take it to mean I am pregnant but because it is faint im unsure.
Avatar f tn No my dr is not but he has said my liver fuctions are normal. No biopsy yet.I had a an ultrasound test 7 years ago with no damage and I am about to have another one next month. We talked about me now going to a specialist. I don't know much else.
Avatar n tn If you are not having regular periods, or any periods, then you are not ovulating. Urine ovulation prediction kits work 90%-95% of the time, but they fail to pick up ovulation in 5%-10% and so you might fall into that category, if your periods are regular.
Avatar n tn I went to a doctor and was ordered a complete blood test, liver function test and lipid tests. Everything was normal except for Bilirubin which was 1.6 (normal 0.3 - 1.2) and cholestral which was 220 (LDL - 170). I was said that it is normal for some people to have moderately high bilirubin since the other tests were in normal range. Can somebody help me with what might be the cause for my dark yellow urine?
Avatar f tn breast tenderness. It can be detected by an Ovulation predictor test kit which is tested with the help of urine. A sperm can live in the body for up to 5 days so make sure that you have had sex several days before ovulation. For the best OPK it is best to contact your gynecologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing!
1399033 tn?1449587779 my feet are probably a size or so bigger, They have became more swelled now that im at the end, I see the doctor everyweek now so last week they took blood and now Im doing a 24 hr urine test today to see if i have the early stages of preeclampsia, I wont now until tues or wed, my bp was a little on highside, but they werent sure, Do u have protein in your urine?
Avatar f tn t know why I had to do one because before the scan I had a regular check up and they said my urine was fine. I also had to get a comprehensive metabolic test done so hoping everything is ok.
Avatar f tn Hello, Pregnancy test kits are basically qualitative kind of test which just tests presence of hCG hormone in the urine of pregnant woman because this hormone is only produced during pregnancy among women. But this pregnancy test depends upon the particular level of hCG in the blood. So sometime it may be possible that it can give you false negative results during early days of pregnancy only because of un- sufficient level of hCG to make test positive.
Avatar n tn A more targeted approach might be with urine ovulation predictor kits; you can by these over the counter at the pharmacy. Just by the urine test sticks; the fancy computer that costs $$$ is not necessary. The reason this is better is that you are at peak fertility the day of and the day after your urine first turns positive.
Avatar m tn In order for a test to be accurate, you need to give your body enough time to make enough antibodies to show up on a test. In the general population (over 99%), it takes up to 6 weeks to produce a detectable amount of antibodies (for some people, it takes even less time). There is, however, a small percentage of people (<1%) who have weak immune systems from things such as chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, and from being on immunosuppressant drugs (i.e.
Avatar m tn Quick tests are "kits" any other tests are sent to a lab.
533193 tn?1289727345 I would continue taking the prenatals. As for the OPKs, it's pretty easy if you have a regular cycle. They usually contain an insert that tells you when to start using them, depending on how long your cycles are. Ideally, you should not use first morning urine, since LH (which is what the OPKs detect) is metabolized in your body in the first part of the day.
Avatar f tn I know that they can be checked for some std's.. I gave a urine sample in the beginning of my pregnancy and they asked if I wanted them to check for certain things and I told them no... This was a planned pregnancy lol..... I don't know about hiv... I think that has to do with blood tests.
