Pregnancy tests results: Only one line shows on the test?
Question Posted Thursday April 2 2015, 9:27 pm
Hi , so today I took a pregnancy test but I am so confused. So the pregnancy in order for it to be positive it should mark (+)(|) but if it's negative it should mark (-)(|). But my question is the pregnancy test marked (-) but it didn't mark the second line. In order to be positive the first line is a plus and then a straight line. And in order to be negative the first line should be horizontal (-) and then a vertical one (|). It marked negaitive as the first line horizontal (-) but it didn't mark the second line. Should I be worried? I mean the second line is the same for both positive and negative the only difference is the first lines a plus for positive and a horizontal line for negative. And I got the first negative horizontal line but no second line. Help?!

Every pregnancy test is different. Some have the "+" and the "-". Some have one line as negative and two lines as positive. Some actually say "positive" and "negative" on them.
Read the directions for your test and it'll tell you what's positive and what's negative.

If the second test from a different brand is negative then you are probably not pregnant. Should the second kit test positive wait ten days and retest. If you get a positive reading then see a doctor for a lab test which is the real test. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

like everything else in this world, products DO come out sometimes defective. ; )
