What does it mean when pregnancy line is darker than control line?
When taking a pregnancy test, any line in the test indication area is considered a positive pregnancy test, even if it is lighter than the control line. The darker line is usually the control line. Sometimes this second line is so faint, you can barely see it.
What if the C line is faint on pregnancy test?
If the line is faint, it usually means that the hCG level is low. One reason why hCG levels may be low could be because you’re still very early into your pregnancy.
Do evaporation lines have color?
Evaporation lines are colorless streaks, not faint lines. They typically appear if a person waits for longer than the suggested time to read the test result. An evaporation line can also appear if the test gets wet.
What does it mean if my T-line and C-line are dark?
Answer: If both of the lines appear within the first 10 minutes of taking the test, then yes, it could mean you are pregnant. After the first 10 minutes or so, the test is considered invalid, and any line that shows up after that is not considered a valid result. Question: I have taken a pregnancy test. My C-line is dark and my T-line is light?

Is it normal to have 2 lines on a pregnancy test?
1 In most cases, a second line on a pregnancy test—no matter how faint—means you are pregnant. 2 If you are early in your pregnancy, the line should get darker if you test again in the next few days. 3 Be careful not to mistake evaporation and indent lines for a positive pregnancy test.
What should I do if my hCG line is darker than normal?
If you wait a few days or even a week, the line may appear darker. If you’re still not sure or if the line appears the same, you can contact your healthcare provider to have a blood test. A blood test works in the same way as the urine test except that it is able to detect smaller amounts of HCG.
