Picture of pregnancy test paper

Menstrual period is every female friend's nightmare every month. When it comes, it will make people feel troubled, but if it comes very late, it will make people feel very upset, especially for those who have had sex during this month. If the period is delayed for three days and still has not come, you go to use the pregnancy test paper, and see one dark and one light, you panic. Does the dark and one light picture on the pregnancy test paper mean pregnancy? Let's take a look.

If the pregnancy test paper shows one dark and one light pattern, does it mean that you are pregnant?

Generally speaking, two obvious red bars mean that the test is positive, which means that you are pregnant. If there is only one red bar, it means that the HCG is negative, which means you are not pregnant. If the pregnancy test paper has one dark line and one light line, it may be because the test paper is not obvious in the early stages of pregnancy, but it cannot be unequivocally confirmed that the pregnancy test paper has one dark line and one light line, which means you are pregnant. Because there are many factors that cause the test paper to show two red bars, one deep and one shallow, women who are pregnant need to make their own decisions based on their own circumstances.

One dark line and one light line on the pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the comparison line is 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 and collect morning urine.

Therefore, if the pregnancy test stick shows one dark and one light, it means you may be pregnant, but don't get excited too soon, because it may also mean you are not pregnant. The probability is 50% each.

Generally speaking, there are several situations when the pregnancy test stick is colored:

1. Only one comparison line appears on the pregnancy test stick: it means you are not pregnant.

2. Two lines appear on the pregnancy test stick, that is, both the reference line and the test line are colored, and the test line is obvious and clear: it means that you are pregnant for a long time.

3. If no line appears on the pregnancy test stick within 5 minutes, it means the test is invalid or failed.

4. One dark and one light pregnancy test stick: Generally speaking, if the comparison line is obviously clear and the test line is very light, it means that you may be pregnant. In this case, you need to use a new pregnancy test stick to collect morning urine and test again every two days.

How to use pregnancy test paper

Initially, remove the test strip from its original foil bag and use it within 1 hour. During the test, it is recommended to insert the test strip into the urine sample collection in the direction of the arrow icon. Then place it on a clean and flat surface to observe the results. Wait for the purple-red band to appear, and the test result should be loaded in 3 minutes. If it shows 2 red bars, it means you are pregnant. Pregnancy test strips are a common way to test pregnancy. The results are relatively accurate.
