The early pregnancy test paper showed a weak positive and my period has arrived. What's going on?

Nowadays, the easiest way to detect pregnancy is to use an early pregnancy test. Some people may encounter this situation: the early pregnancy test shows a weak positive, and they thought they were pregnant, but after a few days their menstruation came again. This is obviously a sign that they are not pregnant, so why does a weak positive appear?

1. Regarding the understanding of pregnancy test results, there is actually no need to worry about the above results. A weak positive result is not very meaningful.

Guidance:

According to the symptoms, if you have your period, then you can't be pregnant. The test results before should be false positives. I hope you don't put pressure on yourself.

2. Generally, pregnancy is considered when menstruation is delayed for a week

Guidance:

If the test paper is weakly positive when the menstruation is not delayed for a week, it does not mean that you are pregnant. Sometimes a weak positive test paper will appear when the menstruation is about to come.

3. If you have your period, it doesn’t mean you are not pregnant. A weak positive result requires a retest to confirm.

4. Due to problems with the usage of early pregnancy test strips, a weak positive result is likely to be a false positive.

Guidance:

In this case, if you have your period, it means you are not pregnant. You can use an early pregnancy test strip to test again. Be sure to follow the instructions for the test.

5. A weak positive result does not mean that you are pregnant. It is possible that the measurement is wrong, because a positive result is required to support pregnancy.

Guidance:

I am currently bleeding, so I suggest you test again. If the result is negative, it means your period has come. If the result is positive, it may be a sign of threatened abortion, so it is better to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

6. You cannot be sure whether you are pregnant now, because the pregnancy test paper may show a false positive before the menstrual period, or the test paper may show a negative result after pregnancy because the time is not long enough.

Guidance:

Recommendation: You can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test now to confirm whether you are pregnant, or use an early pregnancy test strip to check whether you are pregnant after 3-5 days.
