How Can Pregnancy Test Results Be Confirmed?
Hello, I took a pregnancy test a couple hours ago and the test came up negative, now a faint line has shown up saying im pregnant. How do I know if the results are accurate? The box tells me to disregard it after 10 minutes, but I just want to be sure.

hello
how are you?
urine pregnancy test is a strip test to detect hcg hormone which is released only after women become pregnant. you should follow what is written as instruction for strip urine test. if it should be positive within written time then will not positive after hours. hcg doubles every 2 days. so test after 2 days and if doubt please consult your gynecologist near by.
Everything will be fine
