If a pregnancy test shows one dark line and one light line, does it indicate pregnancy? I checked with a home pregnancy kit yesterday and again after few days and both times showed this result. My last menstrual period was on 1st June, and my cycles are usually on time. My period has not yet arrived this month. What should I do, and how many more days should I wait before testing again?

A dark control line and a faint test line on a pregnancy kit usually indicates early pregnancy. Since your periods are delayed and tests are the same on repeat, it is likely positive. To confirm, do a Serum Beta hCG blood test for accurate confirmation and visit a gynecologist for further guidance. Do not wait further if periods are missed and the test shows two lines.

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my first child and have been experiencing continuous mild pain in my lower left abdomen for the past 12 hours. I have not undergone any scan yet, but my blood reports are normal. Is this mild continuous pain normal in early pregnancy, or is it something to be concerned about?

How early can I confirm if I am pregnant? In other words, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test? Also, are there any specific early pregnancy symptoms I should look out for?

My sister has undergone two IUI cycles with injections. She is currently on Duphaston 10, Gestofit 400 SR, DHEA Sure, and Primiwal E4. Today is her 15 DPO, but her urine pregnancy test is negative. She is experiencing cramps, nausea, back pain, leg pain, and occasional knee pain. Could the test result be wrong? When would be the right time to test again?
