Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Urine pregnancy test kit sometimes may not give accurate result.
Especially in early pregnancy.
Usually the result immediately after adding the urine should be considered.
As the positive line came 20 minutes after adding first sample, that is not reliable.
Positive line usually won't fadeout after one day.

To get accurate results, wait till your expected date of periods.
If you miss your periods, repeat urine pregnancy test with early morning midstream sample of urine.
Take care.
