A member asked:

I have missed my period 0n 13th.my period cycle is of 30 days. i got a slightly faint line on upt , how much time required to get a complete dark line?

Depends on test: Read the directions that came with your test very carefully - it should tell you exactly how long to wait - but no longer. If unsure, check with your obgyn for a blood test - its more sensitive.
