1. Home Pregnancy Test (HPT) (Urine Test):
Positive Result:
Usually, the test kit will have one or two lines or a symbol that indicates pregnancy.
If two lines appear (one in the control window and one in the test window) or if the digital test shows "pregnant" or a similar indicator, it means the test is positive, and you are likely pregnant.
Negative Result:
If only one line appears in the control window and no line or symbol appears in the test window, the test is negative, meaning no pregnancy hormones were detected.
Invalid Result:
If no lines appear or the lines appear faintly, it could indicate an invalid result, and the test should be repeated.
2. Blood Test (Beta-hCG Test):
Positive Result:
If the blood test shows the presence of hCG above a certain level, it means you are pregnant.
Negative Result:
If the hCG level is below the detection threshold, the result is negative.
Tips:
It’s best to take the test after missing your period, as taking it too early might result in a false negative.
If you have any doubts about the result, it’s a good idea to take another test a few days later or visit a doctor for confirmation.
