Frautest for pregnancy

Pregnancy tests are especially popular because they allow you to determine the obvious reasons for a delay from its first days. Let's consider one of the most accessible and accurate tests - Frautest.

A delay in menstruation is the first and obvious sign of pregnancy. Therefore, women monitor their cycle, some are waiting for conception, and some are afraid. If menstruation does not come and there is no opportunity to go to the antenatal clinic, it is enough to do a special test. This is a simple, fast and affordable way to find out about the onset of conception at home. All tests operate on the same principle: determining the level of hCG in the urine. Chorionic gonadotropin is secreted by the embryo after attachment to the walls of the uterus. If it has a high level, then this is a positive result - two stripes.

The advantage of Frautest is its high sensitivity and affordable price. The ultra-sensitive form allows you to determine pregnancy a few days before the delay of menstruation, the accuracy of testing is 99%. Another advantage is that it can be done in any convenient place and at any time of the day, but for reliability it is better in the morning, since during this period the hCG level is maximum.

There are several types of frautest:

• To determine ovulation

It significantly simplifies the process of planning conception, eliminates the need to constantly measure basal temperature. In order to find out about the approaching ovulation, it is enough to monitor the brightness of the second strip for 3-5 days in the middle of the cycle. As soon as both strips become the same color, this indicates a favorable day for conception. Such tests have several forms of release: test strips of five pieces in a package, cassettes with a special cap, and tests with a container for collecting urine.

• For the presence of thrush

They are used to identify the disease, which allows you to choose the most effective and safe method of therapy before seeking medical help.

• To detect bacterial vaginal infections

The test is made in the form of a daily pad, which determines the level of acidity in the vaginal environment. If a woman has an infection, it is accompanied by abundant discharge with an unpleasant odor, but it can also be asymptomatic. Timely diagnosis of the disease prevents further infection of the genitourinary sphere and infection of the endometrium.

• For pregnancy

Allows you to get a quick and accurate result when there is no opportunity to go to a women's consultation. It has several forms of release, which differ in cost. Of the disadvantages, one can only highlight the likelihood of an inaccurate result due to the individual characteristics of the female body.

• Frautest express – one test per package.
• Frautest double control – two test strips in a package.
• Frautest comfort is a single test that does not require separate urine collection.
• Frautest expert – cassette test, single use.
• Frautest ecsclusive – has high sensitivity, does not require urine collection.

Indications for the use of Frautest

There are many different types of pregnancy tests, and they all work on the same principle. Some require collecting urine in a container, others require inserting a test strip to a certain level into the urine, and others require dropping a couple of drops of urine into a special window. The waiting time for results varies, but usually from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

The main indication for the use of Frautest is a suspicion of pregnancy, i.e. a delay in menstruation. Different tests display their results differently. Frautest has two indicators:

• The first strip or control indicator indicates suitability for use.
• The second strip, that is, the pregnancy indicator, indicates its presence (the strip appears) or absence (the strip is absent).

In this case, the intensity of the color of the cavity does not matter, that is, even a pale indicator indicates conception. Many manufacturers recommend doing a repeat procedure a couple of days after the first result. The accuracy of such an analysis depends on the correctness and timeliness of its use.

The veracity of the results is based on factors such as:

• Before testing, check the expiration date of the packaging and read the instructions carefully.
• Do not rush to interpret the results. According to studies, the most accurate results are obtained after 7-10 minutes.
• Testing should only be done with morning urine, as it contains the highest levels of hCG. Do not drink any liquids for at least 2-3 hours before the procedure.
• Each package is intended for single use only. To obtain a correct diagnosis, it is recommended to conduct at least two tests with an interval of 5-7 days. This is due to fluctuations in the level of hormones in the female body.

A positive result is a reason to see a gynecologist and confirm your condition. But do not forget that there are false positive and false negative results. As a rule, they appear due to improper use of the test, since Frautest is considered the most reliable among its analogues.

Release form

There are several types of pregnancy tests, which have different forms of release, sensitivity and, of course, cost. Let's consider the main types of frautest for pregnancy:

• Frautest Express

A strip soaked in reagent on a plastic backing. To conduct the test, the strip must be immersed in a container with urine for 5-10 seconds and the result obtained in 3-5 minutes. Each package contains one test strip. Price: 10-20 UAH.

• Frautest Double Control

Two strips to determine conception. This allows you to verify the result and minimize the psychological burden. Price: 20-30 UAH.

• Frautest Expert

The package contains a cassette with a pipette. The original design of the test and the method of its implementation guarantee the accuracy of the results obtained. There are two windows on the cassette, a couple of drops of urine are dripped into one using a pipette, and the result appears in the second. Price: 25-40 UAH.

• Frautest Comfort

The advantage of this test is its hygiene and ease of use. It can be carried out at any time of the day and there is no need to collect urine. The original design of the cassette protects against violation of the research method, which allows you to get an accurate result. Cost: 35-50 UAH.

Ultra-sensitive pregnancy test

All types of Frautest are highly sensitive. They allow you to determine conception from the first days of a missed period.

• Ultra-sensitive pregnancy test 10-15 mIU/ml is used for diagnostics even before the expected menstruation is missed. To obtain reliable results, it is recommended to conduct an additional study at intervals of 5-7 days.
• The reliability of high-sensitivity test systems is over 99%. The analysis can be performed at any time of the day, but do not forget that the maximum concentration of hCG is only in morning urine. Before testing, it is better to avoid drinking liquids or diuretics.
• The ultra-sensitive Frautest is a special cassette and a pipette for collecting urine. You need to drop a couple of drops of urine into the cassette window and wait for the result to appear within 3-5 minutes. Please note that the result is considered reliable within 10 minutes after the test, after which time the data should not be taken into account.

Frautest pregnancy sensitivity

The reliability of the test is determined by its sensitivity. This indicator indicates the minimum amount of hCG the test reacts to. As a rule, this number is in the range from 10 mIU/ml to 30 mIU/ml. The sensitivity of the Frautest for pregnancy is at the level of 10 mIU/ml, that is, it reacts to the lowest level of hCG. With its help, pregnancy can be detected even before a missed period. The analysis can be carried out 5-7 days after probable conception. Such tests are ultra-sensitive.

If the diagnostic strip has 25 mIU/ml, then this indicates an average sensitivity level. That is, such a test will not give true results before the expected delay. It is better to conduct it after the menstruation has not arrived on time. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that some samples do not have sensitivity data, but based on the design of the test and its packaging, it can be determined independently.

1. Test strips (strip tests) – popular due to their low cost, their sensitivity is 25 mIU/ml or more. They belong to the first generation of diagnostic methods of conception and can give false results.
2. Test cassette (tablet) - to get the result, you need to drop a couple of drops of urine into a special window. Refers to the second category of tests, sensitivity from 10-25 mIU/ml.
3. Jet – have a high sensitivity of 10-15 mIU/ml and are very convenient to use, as they do not require a pipette or a special container for collecting urine.
4. Electronic ones are a type of inkjet ones. They are distinguished by high sensitivity and the possibility of multiple use. A positive result looks like "+" or "pregnant".

According to the research conducted, the most popular are Frautest paper test strips, Frautest Expert cassette tests and Frautest Exclusive jet tests.

Method of administration and dosage

To obtain reliable results, the pregnancy test has a specific method of application. Before the test, wash your hands thoroughly and collect a sample of morning urine. Carefully open the package and take out the strip, taking it from the colored side. Dip the strip into the container with urine to the specified mark for 7-10 seconds, remove it to a horizontal surface and wait for the result. If you have a cassette, then it is enough to drop a couple of drops of urine into the round window.

The evaluation of results is the same for all types of tests:

• Negative – after the allotted time has elapsed, there is only one strip in the control zone.
• Positive - 5-10 minutes after testing, two stripes appear: diagnostic and control. In this case, even a weak stripe in the diagnostic zone indicates conception.
• Erroneous - if the procedure and instructions are not followed, there is not a single strip. This happens very rarely and, as a rule, due to insufficient urine or incorrect positioning of the test.
• False positive or false negative – such results appear when testing women who are undergoing a course of infertility treatment with drugs containing hCG, in the presence of oncological diseases, recent abortions, pathologies of the cardiovascular system, kidneys or drinking liquid before the analysis.

Contraindications for use

Pregnancy tests, like any other diagnostic procedures, have certain limitations for implementation. Contraindications for use depend on the type of test and its sensitivity level. Home testing with regular strips is not recommended before the onset of a delay in menstruation, but cassette systems can be used from the first days of the expected conception. To be sure of the result, it is recommended to repeat the test in 5-7 days.

The following mistakes should be avoided during the study:

• Do not touch the reaction zone with your hands.
• The strip or cassette must not be exposed to dirt or moisture prior to testing.
• Expired tests will not be used.
• The urine sample should not contain any foreign substances.

There are a number of reasons that can lead to false research results:

• Too early diagnosis.
• A poor quality test with an expired expiration date or violated temperature conditions.
• Early assessment of results.
• The presence of diseases (oncology) that increase the level of hCG.

If you have done several tests at weekly intervals, but doubt the results, you should consult a gynecologist. For comparison, you can do another analysis with a test from another manufacturer. You can measure your basal temperature (in the morning, without getting out of bed), if it is above 37 degrees, then this indicates pregnancy. In addition, it is recommended to donate blood for hCG, undergo an ultrasound and, of course, a doctor's examination.

Storage conditions

To obtain reliable results, the Frautest used must be in its original packaging and free of any defects. Particular attention is paid to storage conditions. The test must not be kept in a place with high humidity or at high temperatures.

Best before date

Frautest pregnancy test has won the trust of women due to its availability, ease of use and reliable results. The shelf life of any form of the test is 36 months from the date of manufacture. After this period, strips, cassettes or electronic tests must be disposed of. According to the instructions, Frautest is made using a unique latex technology that provides a clear, visible result. Each sample can only be used once. Using expired materials gives erroneous results that cannot be trusted.
