There is a faint line on the test paper, does it mean pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, you can use a pregnancy test to determine whether you are pregnant. After the test, if there is only a faint line on the pregnancy test paper, it means you are not pregnant. If there are two lines, it means you are pregnant. Of course, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, you also have to learn how to use the early pregnancy test strips. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about early pregnancy test strips in detail.

1. Determination of the results of early pregnancy test paper

1. Negative: A purple-red line (control line C) appears in the test area, indicating no pregnancy.

2. Positive: Two purple-red lines appear in the test area (control line C and test line T), indicating pregnancy. The color intensity of the test line at different stages of pregnancy changes with the change of HCG concentration.

3. Invalid: No purple-red line appears in the test area or only one purple-red line (test line T line) appears in the test area, indicating that the test failed or the test paper is invalid and should be retested.

2. How to use the early pregnancy test paper

1. Use a disposable urine cup or clean container to collect urine.

2. Tear open the aluminum foil bag along the cut and take out the test paper for testing.

3. Strip type: Dip the end of the test paper with the arrow mark into the container containing the urine sample to be tested

(The urine sample is not allowed to exceed the MAX line), take it out and lay it flat after about 3 seconds. (As shown in the picture)

Card type: Use a pipette to draw 0.2mL (3-4 drops) of urine sample to be tested into the sample addition area.

Pen type: Remove the cap and let the urine pour directly onto the sample area while urinating, and maintain the urine collection time for 3 seconds (Please note: Do not let the urine exceed the arrow to prevent the urine from wetting the test area and affecting the test results).

4. Observe the test results in the test area: observe the test results within 5-10 minutes. Color development within 40 seconds is strongly positive.

Positive: Color bands appear on both the upper and lower ends of the test strip, indicating pregnancy.

Negative: Only a purple-red band appears on the upper end of the test strip and no band appears on the lower end, indicating that you are not pregnant.

Invalid: No ribbon appears. This indicates that the test strip has expired.

3. Urine sampling method

1 This reagent uses human urine as the test sample.

2 Collect urine in a clean container. Urine within a day can be tested. It is recommended to use urine after waking up in the morning.

3 After collecting urine, if it cannot be used immediately, it should be refrigerated. The shelf life is 6-8 hours.
