I've taken a home pregnancy test, but I'm not sure how to interpret the lines. How exactly do I read a pregnancy test kit to know if it's positive or negative?
I felt my heart beating so fast when I looked at the kit. Two lines mean positive and one line means negative, but that faint line really made me cry with joy and fear all at once.
It is very simple. One line at 'C' means negative, and if you see lines at both 'C' and 'T', it is positive. If there is no line at all, the kit is faulty, so use a new one.
Seeing those lines can bring so many emotions, whether it's one or two. One line means negative, and two lines—even if one is very faint—means positive. Take a deep breath, your feelings are completely valid.
If you are confused by a faint line, the nursing staff at my hospital recommended getting a beta-hCG blood test done. It gives a 100% clear mathematical result.
Oh god, I stared at my kit for hours trying to see if there was a hidden second line or just an evaporation line! If you are anxious, just wait two days and test again to see if the line gets darker.
