The second line of the pregnancy test paper is very light

During the pregnancy preparation period, women hope that they can get pregnant as soon as possible, so many women buy early pregnancy test strips by themselves, and actively use early pregnancy test strips to test their urine after intercourse to see if they are pregnant. Sometimes, when women test their urine, the second line on the test paper will be light. What is the reason?

What happens if the second line on the pregnancy test paper is very light?

If one line on the pregnancy test stick is dark and the other is light, it is the main sign of a weak positive. The results of a normal pregnancy test are either positive or negative. A positive result means that there will be 2 obvious lines on the pregnancy test stick, while a negative result means only one. If there are two lines, but one is deep and the other is shallow, then it is a weak positive. A weak positive indicates the possibility of pregnancy, but if the conditions are not perfect, the test results are not very certain.

There are many reasons for a weak positive pregnancy test, the most likely of which is a low HCG value during early pregnancy. HCG will appear in the urine a few days after pregnancy, but it is not easy to be detected at the beginning because of the small amount. It will become increasingly obvious after about two weeks, and during this period the pregnancy test stick may show weak positive.

A weak positive result on the pregnancy test stick may just be an illusion, so don't judge whether you are pregnant after using the pregnancy test stick. It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.

Conditions that cause a weak positive pregnancy test result

1. The pregnancy test stick is weakly positive, that is, the color of the test area is lighter than that of the comparison area, or it only appears vaguely. Generally speaking, it belongs to the early pregnancy test paper before 40 days.

2. After three months of pregnancy, HCG levels decrease and urine tests may sometimes show negative or weak positive results.

3. In cases of hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma, the HCG level in the body will be too high and the urine test may not show a positive result.

4. In the case of ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy test stick shows a weak positive, but no pregnancy is seen in the uterine cavity during B-ultrasound examination.

When the early pregnancy test paper is pale, you can consult a doctor or a professional expert for observation, which can better show whether you are pregnant and avoid the situation where pregnancy is not handled in time, thus affecting women's safety.

Therefore, when doing a pregnancy test, it is recommended to consult an expert to answer questions, and then conduct a pregnancy test to ensure accuracy.
