How To Identify Pregnancy By Taking A Ept Test?
Hi I am 10 day late on my period. I took a ept test this morning and about 39 minutes later seen a positive line it was blue but I didn't know if it may have been an evaporated line. I went and got a answer test it has pink dye and as soon as the pee went across there were 2 lines then the positive line disappeared within 2 minutes. I'm confused I would think being 10 days late if I was pregnant it would show up dark and not disappear. What do you think?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Pregnancy test is to be read within 5 minutes. You had read first test late & hence the result inconclusive. Regarding second test, the line should not disappear within 2 minutes. Its highly unusual, but can happen in both positive & negative cases. You have two options. First is to do a third urine test & see the result. Second option is to do blood (beta hCG) test, which gives 100% correct results. Kindly choose the one convenient to you.
Wish you good health.
