In a pregnancy test, there is one dark red line and one very faint line. Does this mean she is actually pregnant? If she is pregnant and we are not planning to have a child right now, what steps should we take?

One dark line and one faint line on a pregnancy test usually means pregnancy is likely. Faint line appears if hCG hormone is present, even in small amounts. To confirm, do a blood test (Beta hCG) at a lab its more accurate. If pregnancy is confirmed and not planned, visit a gynecologist immediately to discuss safe options.

View allMy wife is taking Susten 200 tablets to get pregnant. She has crossed her period date (regular 28 day cycle). We checked with a urine test on the 32nd day, and it was negative. I would like to know if the missed period is due to the Susten 200 tablet or if we did the pregnancy test too early? Thank you.

Mam and sir my friend took beta hcg blood test two times. First on 27th October the next day after missed periods it was negative. Then she again took beta hcg blood test on 30th October that was positive. Now my question is what can be the reason for the false hcg result before? So from this above incident I am forced to ask you when to take beta hcg test after missed periods or after 2 weeks of intercourse which is more accurate and more reliable? In the above case if he would have considered that she is not pregnant then the scenario can be the worst. So please reply when is the best time to take beta hcg after 15 days of sex or after missed period?
