What Does This Test Result Of Pregnancy Indicate?
I was due to have my cycle 3/14/15 and still nothing. I took many Pregnancy test, some were showing not pregnant and some with a faint light blue tint in the results window. I am wondering is that normal or bad test? I am several days late from my regular cycle.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Since, the urine pregnancy tests are confusing and inconclusive, levels of beta HCG needs to be determined in blood.
Levels of beta HCG increase during pregnancy and become double every 48 hours.
Ectopic most commonly tubal pregnancy causes inconclusive results on urine pregnancy test.
Tubal pregnancy is characterised by lower rise and lack of doubling every one hour.
