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 attached my beta HCG urine test report. After four months of unprotected intercourse I did a beta HCG urine test with the first morning urine. Am I pregnant? My beta HCG report is 0.36 miu/ml.

Hi, last month I had an HSG test, which was normal. This month, I was given an HCG 5000 injection for ovulation. My left ovary released an egg a few days ago. Now, I have sharp pain in my left ovary once a day for 2 to 3 minutes. Is this normal implantation, an ectopic pregnancy, or something else?
