A member asked:

Hi i took a pregnancy test and i got a negative response and the control line is fainted and the negative was darker than the control line?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Still a negative: A visible but fainter control line than the visible negative line on a urine pregnancy test is still negative result. If still worried about pregnancy, one can test again the next day. Urine pregnancy tests are very accurate by 3 weeks after sex, or 1 week after missing a regular period.
