A member asked:

My pregnancy test result showed one red line, what does it mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: A positive test has two bands. One band means either a negative test or an invalid test. Please read the package insert as the position of the colored band determines if it is a negative test of an unreliable test.
