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.

View allHi, I got a positive pregnancy test, which I also confirmed with an HCG blood test. In that test, my values were 779 and 1387, taken a day apart. I am having red brown discharge with light cramps. When I went to the doctor, she suggested a hormone injection and Miprogen tablet for two weeks. Will this situation settle or is there any risk of complication? Please suggest.

I had a positive home pregnancy test. I got an HCG beta test on 16th July, which showed a value of 1300, and it was repeated on 19th July, showing 1933. Then I had a TVS scan done, and a very small gestational sac was present. I have been taking progesterone as advised. The doctor asked me to come after 8 days and is giving HCG 5000 IUI injection once a week. What are the chances of a healthy pregnancy? I am really worried. Please help. I have attached all the reports.

Received my report of HCG test where the result says 79.20. What does that mean? Female pregnancy section is blank. Then week of gestation is mentioned. Comment says reference range: Male and non pregnant females.
