Can you read a pregnancy test after 30 minutes?
This usually ranges between a couple of minutes up until 10 minutes later. If you see a positive result beyond this time frame, you may be left second-guessing the results. However, the false-positive reading, in this case, is due to something called an evaporation line.
How early in pregnancy do you get a faint line?
Some very sensitive pregnancy test kits can detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before you expect your period), however the levels of hCG this early are so low that you can expect any line to be faint.
Can a faint positive show up later?
A faint positive test line can also appear if you take a pregnancy test shortly after implantation when your hCG level is low, or if your urine is diluted. This can happen when taking a pregnancy test later in the day after consuming a lot of liquids.
What to do after getting a positive pregnancy test?
Stop taking birth control pills: Birth control pills are ineffective after you are pregnant.
Can I have a positive pregnancy test and not be pregnant?
It is possible to have a positive pregnancy test result and not actually be pregnant – despite many people telling you otherwise. It can be for a number of reasons: maybe you were pregnant but are no longer, or perhaps there was a fault with how the test was done / the test was out of date.
What does a positive pregnancy test mean?
A false positive pregnancy test means that your pregnancy test is positive but you are NOT pregnant. A false negative pregnancy test means that you test negative but you ARE pregnant. A true positive pregnancy test means that your pregnancy test is positive and you are pregnant.
