Recent induced or spontaneous termination of pregnancy.
Sometimes a faint line on the test is visible shortly after menstruation. This indicates that pregnancy occurred, but then rejection and loss of the embryo occurred. The situation is similar with abortion.
Important note: As a rule, retesting after a faintly colored test the next day will give a negative result.
Sometimes a woman will test directly during her period or vaginal bleeding after a short delay. If in such cases a second pale line appears, you should consult a doctor. This can be a sign of either a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.
