I've been using the Prega News kit, and there's a very faint line that showed up after a minute of taking the test. It wasn't there when I first checked right after the test. This faint line is barely visible, doesn't have much color, and it isn't showing in the picture I took. Does this mean it's just too early to tell, or could this mean a negative result? I'm a bit unsure and would love some guidance on this.

-A very faint line can sometimes appear when the test is taken early, as the hCG levels might be too low to show a strong result. It's best to wait a few more days and retest, as testing too early can lead to unclear results.

My wife is 6 weeks pregnant and has had a fever of around 99-100 since yesterday. I'm really concerned about what might be going on. We had her urine culture done twice, and the results showed proteus the first time and citrobacter the next. She doesn't have any UTI symptoms though. Can you give some advice on this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried.
