Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
C line means control line. When you do the test, you will always get a control line whether you are pregnant or not. It is basically to compare and also to see that kit is working fine.
T line mean Test line. This line, if it appears, confirms that the patient is pregnant. If not, then there is no pregnancy. Since you are saying half line, I suggest you to repeat the test and infer accordingly.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
With regards
Dr. Sridhar
