Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there is C the control and T the test on pregnancy test strip.In case of positive test there will be two dark lines on both C and T.In case of negative test there will be dark line on C and no line at T.In case of weakly positive there will dark line on C and faded line on T.This weak positive test is seen when the test is done early or in case of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
