hello

Thank you for writing to HCM

The HPT kit reflects the presence of hormone of pregnancy and can get darker with rising levels in pregnancy.

The rising levels are accurately only measured in the blood

However you can take prenatal vitamins in the waiting period till the 13th and then go ahead with further testing after your consultation with your midwife

Hope to have answered your query
