What does it mean when pregnancy is deep and shallow?

Generally speaking, when a woman who has just found out that she is pregnant, the first thing she thinks of is not to go to the hospital for a real check-up, but to get a pregnancy test stick to check whether she is pregnant or not. This will more or less give her some confidence. However, there are some problems when looking at the pregnancy test stick. Some have two darker bars, while others have one dark and one shallow. So, what does it mean to have one dark and one shallow line?

What does it mean when you are pregnant with one baby

The pregnancy test stick uses the reaction displayed by the fusion of single or multiple HCG antigens in the device with antigens in urine to determine whether the pregnancy is present. Many women choose to use pregnancy test sticks to detect whether they are pregnant. The pregnancy test sticks mainly determine whether the woman is pregnant based on the comparison line on the stick. Generally speaking, there are several types of coloring for pregnancy test sticks: Only one contrast line appears on the pregnancy test stick, indicating that you are not pregnant. Two lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, that is, the comparison line and the detection line are both colored, and the detection line is obviously clear: it shows that the pregnancy has already begun.

No contrast line appears on the pregnancy test stick within 5 minutes: indicating that the experiment is invalid or unsuccessful. One dark and one light pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the contrast line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it means that you may be pregnant, but it does not necessarily mean that you are pregnant. In this case, you need to test again every two days with a new pregnancy test stick to collect morning urine. If you are pregnant for a short time or have an ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level in your body is generally slightly low, and the test area is only slightly visible, which can also cause the pregnancy test stick to be dark and light.

In extreme cases, such as hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma, the body's HCG level will be too high and the urine test may not show a positive result. After three months of pregnancy, HCG levels decrease and urine tests may sometimes show negative or weak positive results. If the pregnancy test stick shows one dark and one light color, it is recommended that you buy another pregnancy test stick after 3 days and test again. Therefore, if the pregnancy test stick shows one dark and one light, it means that you may be pregnant, but the result may not be accurate and you need to test it repeatedly before you can draw a conclusion.

How to determine pregnancy test stick

During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body produces human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which helps to maintain pregnancy. The pregnancy test sticks are all based on the HCG test in urine. Not pregnant: Only one contrast line appears, indicating no pregnancy. Pregnancy: If two lines appear, that is, both the comparison line and the test line are colored, and the test line is obviously clear, it means that you are already pregnant. If the comparison line is obviously clear and the test line is very lightly colored, it means that you may be pregnant. Please collect morning urine with a new morning paper every 2 days and test again. Failure: No contrast line appears within 5 minutes, indicating that the experiment failed or was unsuccessful.

It should be noted that when the pregnancy test stick shows "two bars", do not think that you are pregnant and do not do further testing. Because "two bars" does not necessarily mean pregnancy. In addition to the human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine which can cause two bars to appear on the pregnancy test stick, some tumor cells or hydatidiform mole in the female body may also cause "two bars" to appear on the pregnancy test stick. The results of pregnancy test sticks during pregnancy are not 100% accurate. If you want to know for sure whether you are pregnant, it is recommended to go to a local hospital for blood tests, B-ultrasound and other auxiliary examinations to confirm. When looking at the pregnancy test stick, you must clearly identify the comparison line and the detection line. If the comparison line does not appear, it means that the test is invalid or unsuccessful.
