What to do with a weak and fuzzy line on the test?

If the test gave a positive result with a weak second strip, then you should not consider it as confirmation of pregnancy. Only a doctor can give the most accurate result regarding pregnancy, because when using home express systems, there is always a risk of receiving erroneous, unreliable data, although manufacturers assure that their products are 100 percent accurate. Therefore, when a second blurry and dull strip appears, it is necessary to be examined by a gynecologist. Usually, to clarify the pathological picture, the doctor prescribes certain diagnostic procedures.

• Retesting. After the first test, it is recommended to undergo home diagnostics again after a few days (3-4).

Ultrasound diagnostics. It allows you to detect a fetal egg inside the uterine body through a transvaginal examination. This is possible already on the 6th day of delay. If ultrasound is performed through the abdominal wall, then conception can be detected only at 7-8 weeks of gestation.

• Blood test for chorionic gonadotropin. In the blood, this hormone is found much earlier than in urine, so a blood test helps to confirm conception at the earliest possible date.

• Gynecological examination on the armchair. With this examination, the doctor will be able to confirm the pregnancy, starting from the 4-week period.

• If the fact of conception is not confirmed, then the girl will be referred to specialists of a different profile.
