A member asked:

Took home pregnancy test, the control line is dark and the other line is very faint. am i pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

+ pregnancy test: The pregnancy test is a very sensitive test that detects the pregnancy hormone beta HCG. If you do not have that hormone in your urine the second (non-control) line would not appear. False positives can occur but it is very rare. It is likely still very early pregnancy.
