Many friends are confused about the color of the pregnancy test stick. What does it mean if one dark color is dark and the other is light? Let’s learn how to read a pregnancy test stick. Generally speaking, there are several situations in which the color of the pregnancy test stick appears:

3. No control line appears on the pregnancy test stick within 5 minutes: It means the test is invalid or failed.

4. One dark and one light color on the pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the control line is clear and the test line is very light, it means you may be pregnant, but it does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. In this case, you need to retest with a new pregnancy test stick and first-morning urine every two days.

Even if two lines are detected, it may not necessarily mean you are really pregnant.
