During the period of preparing for pregnancy, women hope to conceive a baby earlier, so many women purchase early pregnancy test strips themselves and actively use them to test their urine after sexual intercourse to see if they are pregnant. Sometimes, when women test their urine, the second strip on the test paper will be faint. What's going on?
What's going on with the faint second strip of the pregnancy test paper?
A pregnancy test stick with one deep and one shallow is a weak positive sign. The results of a typical pregnancy test stick are positive and negative. Positive refers to the appearance of two distinct lines on the pregnancy test stick, while negative indicates only one line. If there are two lines, but one is deep and the other is shallow, it is a weak positive. A weak positive indicates the possibility of pregnancy, but if the conditions are not very mature, the test results are not very clear.
There are many reasons for weak positive results in pregnancy tests, among which the most likely is the low HCG value during early pregnancy. HCG will appear in urine a few days after pregnancy, but due to its small amount, it is not easy to detect at the beginning, and it will only become increasingly apparent after about two weeks, during which the pregnancy test may show weak positive results.
A weak positive result from a pregnancy test may just be an illusion, so do not judge whether you are pregnant after using the test. Instead, go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.
Causing weak positive results in pregnancy tests
1. The pregnancy test stick is weakly positive, which means that the color of the detection area is lighter than that of the control area, or only appears faintly. Generally speaking, it belongs to early pregnancy before 40 days.
2. After 3 months of pregnancy, HCG levels decrease and urine tests may sometimes show negative or weakly positive results.
3. Conditions such as molar pregnancy, choriocarcinoma, and elevated levels of HCG in the body may result in a negative urine test.
4. During ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy test rod showed a weak positive result, but the ultrasound examination did not reveal any pregnancy material in the uterine cavity.
When the early pregnancy test strip is very light, you can consult a doctor and professional experts for observation. This can effectively determine whether you are pregnant and avoid situations where pregnancy is not detected in a timely manner, which may affect women's safety.
So it is recommended to consult experts on precautions during pregnancy testing, and then proceed with the test to ensure accuracy.
