A member asked:

Will a faint positive preg test get darker if you do one 2 weeks after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Your urine pregnancy test may or may not "get darker" depending on the condition of your pregnancy, the quality or sensitivity of the testing/kit you are using and other factors. A blood betaHCG level is much more accurate, sensitive, specific and reliable than a urine test.
