The bars on the test paper are one deep and one shallow

The pregnancy test stick can detect one or two bars. One bar means no pregnancy; two bars mean pregnancy. However, many women who are preparing for pregnancy and lack pregnancy knowledge have encountered the situation that the pregnancy test paper has one dark and one light when using the early pregnancy test paper. This makes them very worried. Is it pregnancy or not? So, does one dark and one light red bar mean pregnancy?

Does one dark red bar and one light red bar mean pregnancy?

Many women who are preparing for pregnancy have encountered the situation where one pregnancy test paper shows dark and the other shows light when using early pregnancy test paper. Is it pregnancy? Or is it not? 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 collect morning urine and test again every two days with a new early pregnancy test strip. Therefore, if one dark line on the early pregnancy test paper is lighter than the other, it means that you may be pregnant, but don't be too happy too soon, because it may also mean that you are not pregnant, with a probability of 50% each.

4 external reasons why the early pregnancy test paper is one dark and one light

1. 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 color band printed in the test area is only faintly visible, which can also cause the early pregnancy test paper to be dark and light.

2. In special 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.

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

4. Early pregnancy test strips are particularly sensitive. During ovulation, women's HCG and LH will reach a peak, and will return to normal levels after ovulation. However, before the next menstruation, these two will rise a little. If the commonly used early pregnancy test paper is particularly sensitive, it will easily show a faint test line.

Therefore, if one dark and one light color on the early pregnancy test paper is possible to be a "fraud", it is recommended that you buy another early pregnancy test paper after 3 days and test again. If the color becomes darker, then congratulations, you've won the lottery, go to the hospital as soon as possible to draw blood for HCG test to confirm.
