Medical Video: What does faint line on home pregnancy test signify? - Dr. Sangeeta Gomes
Not having menstruation is one of the earliest signs that you might be pregnant. Then, the next step, you may soon be carrying out a pregnancy test. Some pregnancy tests are more accurate and sensitive than others. One line means you are not pregnant, and two lines mean you are pregnant. However, not all tests will give clear results. Test results from test pack it can only be a vague line that makes you confused whether you are actually pregnant or not.
A faint line on the test pack which means you are positively pregnant
If you have your own pregnancy test at home and the results show vague positive results, there is a high chance that you are pregnant. In this case, the line only appears faintly maybe because of your pregnancy hormone levels, or human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG), still low.
As soon as you get pregnant, your body will immediately produce hCG. This hormone level will increase with increasing gestational age. Test pack made to detect this hCG hormone. If the hormone hCG is in your urine, the results will be positive. So, keep in mind, that the more hormone hCG in your body, the more clear the line will appear testpack.
Some women take a pregnancy test at a very early gestational age. At this time, even though hCG is in the urine, the level is not much. This is what makes the lines appear vague.
A faint line on a test pack that is not a sign of pregnancy
Getting faint positive results does not always mean you are pregnant. Sometimes, the positive line that appears is not the actual positive line, but only an evaporation line or evaporation line. This line can appear on test pack when urine evaporates from the stick testpack. If this line appears on your test results, you might misinterpret it.
It will be difficult to distinguish whether the line that appears is a faint positive result or just an evaporation line. The main difference between the two is that the new evaporation line will appear a few minutes after the specified time to read the test results.
If you do your own tests at home, it is important that you read them carefully according to the instructions listed. If you read the results in the time frame written on the package and see a faint positive result, chances are that you are pregnant. However, if you pass the specified time to read the results, the faint lines that slide may be an evaporation line, which means you are not pregnant. If you are confused, you can repeat your test. If possible, wait for two to three days before you repeat it. This time lag will allow the body to produce more pregnancy hormones so that it gives clearer results if you are truly pregnant.
Taking a pregnancy test in the morning is also a good decision, because the more urine is concentrated, the more obvious the results will be. Make sure you read the results in the time frame indicated on testpack You.
A faint line on the test pack which means you are only chemically pregnant
Unfortunately, a faint positive line is also a sign that you are only pregnant chemically, which means you may experience abortion or early miscarriage. In this case, the fertilized egg will be embedded in the uterus, this will stimulate the formation of pregnancy hormones. However, not long after being implanted in the womb, you experience a miscarriage. If you do a pregnancy test at this time, the results will show a faint positive line. This is because the pregnancy hormone is still left in a small amount in your body.
You may not experience any symptoms. Symptoms that may occur are only bleeding that resembles your menstrual cycle, and mild abdominal cramps. Bleeding can occur around the time of your menstruation so you are not aware that you are actually experiencing a miscarriage. However, if you do a test when you are bleeding and the result is a faint positive line, you may experience a miscarriage.
All you have to do if the test pack shows a faint line
If you are not sure whether the faint positive line that appears on your pregnancy test is indeed a positive result or not, repeat the test again after a few days or consult your doctor. The obstetrician may suggest checking your urine or blood and giving more definitive answers to your condition.
