What does it mean if the pregnancy test stick shows one dark and one light?

Pregnancy is a major event in the lives of many women. In the early stages of pregnancy, mothers may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. However, there are no special symptoms of pregnancy, and it is generally impossible to make a direct judgment based on these symptoms. But with the development of science, there are many pregnancy test sticks on the market that can help women determine whether they are pregnant. Today I will introduce to you how to use pregnancy test sticks.

How to use: Tear open the aluminum foil bag along the notch when using and take out the pregnancy test stick; if available, put on the disposable plastic film gloves included in the box, hold one end of the handle of the pregnancy test stick tightly with your thumb, and tilt the urine absorption hole downward. Note that the observation side of the pregnancy test stick should face downward. Please refer to the instructions for details; urinate at the urine absorption hole on the side of the pregnancy test stick to allow the urine to pass through the urine absorption hole, and maintain the urine collection time for 1 to 2 seconds.

Judgment of the result: Two red lines appear at the same time. If two purple-red lines appear on the stick at the same time, and the test area is clearly visible. It is a positive result, indicating pregnancy; there is only one red line. Only a purple-red strip appears at the control line C, and there is no purple-red strip at the test area T, which is negative, indicating not pregnant; one dark and one light appear.

The mark in the test area T is lighter, and the color of the control line C is darker, which is a weak positive phenomenon, indicating the possibility of pregnancy; there is no red line on the pregnancy test stick.

There will generally be no problem with a new pregnancy test stick, even if you use a relatively cheap 2-dollar one. If no purple-red band appears, it may be that you are incorrect or there may be something wrong with the pregnancy test stick. The test results can be viewed in about 5 minutes, so be sure to check at any time within 5 minutes. If you exceed the time limit, the results will be extremely inaccurate. If the display exceeds 5 minutes, the test may be invalid or failed.

Generally speaking, pregnancy test sticks can directly determine whether you are pregnant, but sometimes there are special circumstances where the pregnancy test stick shows pregnancy, but in fact you are not pregnant. Therefore, pregnancy test sticks can only be used to preliminarily determine whether pregnancy exists. If the pregnancy test stick shows pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination to make the result more accurate.
