Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

Suggestive of an early pregnancy.
The color intensity of the test bands may vary since different stages of pregnancy have different concentrations of HCG hormone.

Positive results may be observed in as little as 40 seconds.
However, to confirm negative results, the complete reaction time of 5 minutes is required.
However you are advised to obtain a first morning urine specimen and retest again after 2 days.
Hope your doubt is clarified.
Give your valuable feedback.
