    As a person who designs these tests, you explain it well for a layman. However, there are errors in your description. The secondary antibody doesn't attach a dye. Usually, the colour is produced by a colloidal gold particle (which is pink to red in colour), already attached to the second antibody. When the first zone is crossed, the urine interacts with the particle, but the particle is also moistened and begins to move WITH the urine sample and flow into the other zones where it is captured. You can confirm this by taking apart an unused pregnancy test, and a used one. You will see the "dye" (the gold particle) no longer is present in the first zone on the conjugate pad.

      After 2000 years of people regularly pissing on seeds in a civilization with excellent written records, this kind of stuff will get noticed.

      So a sensitive enough test can show a false positive to all men.

    • @sammorris4722
      @sammorris4722 8 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      Mystik Basilisk I've been told the pill works by producing hormones that tricks the body into thinking it's already pregnant, thus preventing it from releasing an egg to get fertilised.

    • @Northflowo

    • @lexik4603
      @lexik4603 8 ปีที่แล้ว +78

      +Sara Wolverton The hormone that prevents ovulation isn't the same hormone that creates a positive pregnancy test. When a woman is pregnant, the elevated levels of estrogen in the blood prevent her from ovulation during her pregnancy. In the pill, the synthetic estrogen does the same exact thing (thus the idea of "tricking" your body into thinking it's pregnant and stopping ovulation). but the pill doesn't provide you with HcG, which is the actual hormone that makes a pregnancy test positive. HcG only comes about from the placenta after implantation. So you wouldn't produce a positive pregnancy test just from being on the pill.
