How To Confirm Pregnancy?
dear doctor,
I am lakshmi, I am 34 yrs. Today i have checked my first urine for pregnancy, it's been done on a home pregnancy test device. It showed one strong Line under the negative result and one faint line under the positive result. What does it mean. I am very much confused now. Kindly pls advice.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there is C the control and T the test on pregnancy test strip.In case of positive test there will be two dark lines on both C and T.In case of negative test there will be dark line on C and no line at T.In case of weakly positive there will dark line on C and faded line on T.This weak positive test is seen when the test is done early or in case of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
