Does Faint Positive Line On The Test Strip Indicate Pregnancy?
I missed my periods due on 28 Feb. I had unprotected intercourse on 14 and 15 Jan and also took single dose ECP on 15 Jan. itself . I took a home pregnancy test last week which was negative. Today when I took the test, one line on the strip was very clear while the second line was very very dim and just a quarter of the usual line. What should I interpret. Ranjana
This hormone is detectable by day 11 to 14 after conception. There are some tests that can pick it up sooner.
By feb 28, more than a month after intercourse, there should be definitive answer. Since it is not entirely clear, you should wait a few days and repeat.
I hope this helps
