Does a pale second line on the pregnancy test mean pregnancy?

Two lines on the pregnancy test - both in the control field (C) and the test field (T) - indicate a positive test result, in most cases the second, even very bright line in the test field indicates pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of a hormone - chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which begins to be produced already in the first days after fertilization. According to various sources, this hormone is detectable in the urine from about 6 to 12 days after fertilization. The intensity of coloration of the second line (T) on the pregnancy test may depend on: - the sensitivity of the test performed - the smaller the amount of the hCG hormone the test is able to detect, the higher the sensitivity characterized by the test. Perhaps your test had a low sensitivity, so the coloring of the second line was not very intense; - the day on which the test was performed - it may turn out that chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which the test detects, begins to be produced by your body and occurs in a small amount, which is why the coloration of the second line is hardly visible; - the time of the urine sample taken to perform the test - it is recommended to perform the test from the morning urine, because it is more dense, therefore the concentration of the hormone will be the highest in it, which may increase the visibility of the second line, - the amount of fluids taken - the intake of a large amount of fluid before the test causes thinning of urine and thus reduces the concentration of the hormone in the urine, which may affect the result of the test and the visibility of the second line, - the quality of the test used - make sure that the pregnancy test used was not expired and was stored properly. Otherwise, the test may falsify the result. Particular attention should also be paid to the instructions attached to the test, as the time during which the result must be read is often taken into account. If such information appears in the instructions, after this time an additional line may appear, which does not indicate pregnancy. If you are taking hormonal drugs containing the hormone hCG (e.g. Pregnyl), the test result may be false positive. Unfortunately, I do not have such information from you, so I assume that this situation does not occur. To make sure of the result, you can repeat the test. It should also be remembered that the effectiveness of pregnancy tests is very high, but it is not one hundred percent. To confirm the result of the test, I recommend consulting a gynecologist who will order appropriate tests to detect pregnancy.
