How Can Pregnancy Be Confirmed?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

Pregnancy tests will show good results if tested after missing your period.
Since your expected date of period should be June 5th, testing after June 5 will show good positive results.
Even though the lines are faint, positive result is suggestive that you are pregnant. While testing, use the first-morning urine sample to get good results.
After confirmation of pregnancy, follow up with a gynecologist for further pregnancy care.

Hope this answers your question

Hello User,
Read your query,

Pregnancy tests are most reliable from the first day of your missed period, although some tests can be used as early as four or five days before your period is due.
So, you should check the packaging and go through the kit insert to find out when it can be used.
In your case, you had your last periods on May 5.So, you can very well wait till another weekto test for pregnancy, specially if your cycles are regular.
I understand you are not well and feeling tired and sick. But to my knowledge, these symptoms can very well may or may not be attributed to pregnancy.
As far as the faint line is concerned, it may be due to very low levels of HCG in urine(Hormone secreted in pregnancy, Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). For home pregnancy kit tests , the levels of HCG have to be high enough to be detectable .
So,i would suggest you to wait for a few days and then repeat the test again.In case you do not get strongly positive line the next time also, do consult your gynaecologist.

Hope this helps.
