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 did my pregnancy test on the 45th day and got a very mild positive indication. Then I did it again on the 50th day and did not find any positive indication. I do not have any pregnancy symptoms except pain in my breast nipples. Otherwise, I am normal as on any other day. Is this a positive pregnancy result or negative? Please clear my doubt.

My last period date was 21st November. In December, I have not had my period yet. Today is 29th December. Yesterday, I had a beta HCG test, and my report showed 162.8 high, marked in red. My doctor said there is nothing to worry and advised repeating the test after 48 hours. In my UPT test, there was a faint line. I am attaching my beta HCG report. Is my report okay?
