A member asked:

When will a positive result start to get darker on a pregnancy test?

Dr. Stephen Pappachen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Another week: Obviously, the further along a pregnancy is, the more BhCG is secreted (plateaus out around 10 weeks) and will be filtered by the kidney; eventually showing up in the urine.
