Q: How to read an early pregnancy test strip
asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 19th, 2007
I have taken a couple of pregnancy test that have showed what looks to be a line, no color that you can see in the light and without on the positive side. I have very irregular periods but, I have had so many symptoms. What does that mean on the test? is it still to early? with my last pregnancy it took a little bit for the HCG to show up. I am really anxious to know cuz, if i am not I shouldn't be peeing this much and feeling like i am gonna puke every morning!.

A pregnancy test strip should show 2 clearly visible lines that indicate a positive result. One line means a negative result. No line means that the test is inconclusive and should be repeated. If your period is not regular, you can't be sure if your period is late or not. A new pregnancy test will probably solve the mystery if you are pregnant or not.
