The reason why the early pregnancy test paper is light in color

Nowadays, the simplest way people use to determine whether they are pregnant is to use the most simple method to test whether they are pregnant or not. Most of the time, the judgment of the early pregnancy test paper is accurate, but sometimes the test results are very light in color, which makes people feel strange. Why are the early pregnancy test results sometimes so light in color? Let us find out the reason below.

A pregnancy test with one dark line and one light line indicates a weak positive. The results of a normal pregnancy test are either positive or negative. A positive result means that there will be two distinct lines on the pregnancy test stick, while a negative result means only one. If two lines appear, but one is dark and the other is light, then it is a weak positive. A weak positive indicates that there is a possibility of pregnancy, but if the conditions are not very mature, the test results will not be very clear.

There are many reasons for a weak positive pregnancy test, the most likely of which is that the HCG value in early pregnancy is very low. HCG will appear in the urine a few days after pregnancy, but at the beginning it is not easy to be detected due to the small amount, and it will not become increasingly obvious until about two weeks, during which time the pregnancy test may be weakly positive. A weak positive result on a pregnancy test stick may just be an illusion, so don’t conclude whether you are pregnant after using the pregnancy test stick. It’s better to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm.

1. Situations that cause the pregnancy test stick to be weakly positive

1. The pregnancy test stick is weakly positive, that is, the color of the test area is lighter than the color of the control area, or it only appears faintly. Generally speaking, it is considered early pregnancy before 40 days.

2. After 3 months of pregnancy, HCG levels decrease and urine tests may sometimes be negative or weakly positive.

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

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

2. Early pregnancy test paper is positive, the pregnancy test stick is 1 dark and 1 light, what should I do after an unexpected pregnancy

Step 1: Determine whether you are pregnant. Go to a regular hospital for further verification. In addition, many factors may cause menstruation to not come on time, such as taking certain medications, sudden changes in the environment, mental stress, work pressure, endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, colds and fevers, abnormal excitement, emergencies, etc. No one can guarantee that your girlfriend is pregnant, and you will only know after checking.

Step 2: If pregnant, painless abortion is recommended. Suitable for pregnant women who have been menstruating for 6-10 weeks, painless abortion allows patients to complete the operation easily while sleeping. The entire operation only takes 5-7 minutes (excluding preparation work). If there is no abnormality after half an hour of observation after the operation, you can go home without hospitalization.

When the early pregnancy test paper is very pale, you can consult a doctor or a professional expert for observation. This will help you to see whether you are pregnant or not, and avoid the situation where pregnancy is not discovered in time, thus affecting women's safety. Therefore, when checking for pregnancy, I suggest you consult an expert for precautions, and then do a pregnancy test to ensure accuracy.
