What should we consider? What is pregnant or not? Thank you

Question

Hello my girlfriend has taken 3 pregnancy tests 2 with lines: a clearblue and a first response with a very pale line and a digital clearblue mentioning "Not pregnant" I read that even a very pale line means being pregnant but the digital one makes us jump we would like your opinion on it thank you!

Hello and thank you for your answer :) There are a few important factors to consider when reading a pregnancy test: 1- Ideally, the first urine of the morning should be used (this is when the hormone level is the highest, especially at the very beginning of the pregnancy) 2- Do not drink too much water in the 2 hours before the test 3- Follow the instructions on WHEN to read the result. e.g. if you have to wait 3 minutes to read the result, then it is 3 minutes. You cannot rely on a result read after 10 minutes. If all these conditions are respected, indeed even a 2nd line of low intensity indicates a pregnancy :) Here you go, I hope this helps a little! p.s. I forgot to assure you that the test is not expired :) Have a good Sunday, Emmanuelle
