How do you read a pregnancy test with two windows?
For single window tests a positive result would show both the test line and another line to indicate that you are pregnant. For the two-window tests, in one window a test line would appear and in the second window a plus sign (+) will appear even if it is faint to indicate that you are pregnant.
What does it mean when there’s two lines on a pregnancy test but one is faded?
A faint test result could mean that it’s a little too early for the hCG in the urine to be reliably detected by the testing strip. In this particular situation, a faint line probably indicates pregnancy, but repeating the test in a few days’ time will produce more reliable results.
What if the first pregnancy test is positive and the second is negative?
What should you do? Wait until the following morning to test again with the first morning urine. If the test is still negative – keep the positive test and the second negative morning test or take a picture of both side by side. Make an appointment with your Ob-Gyn to have a blood pregnancy test if available.
When you take a pregnancy test and one line is lighter than the other?
A positive test result shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected. One pink line and one line lighter than the other in the pregnancy test result window means you are pregnant. Any positive test result (even a very faint line) shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected.
