Pregnancy test variations
Q: Hi, I have gone for an IUI on 19 sep, and have been taking pro 9 200 mg twice a day vaginally since 20th sep, I have also been given HCG injection on 20th, 23rd & 26th sep. I have taken home pregnancy test on 28th sep, initially it was negative, but after few minutes a faded but quite visible line appeared. Again on 1st October, I took the test, after 10 mins or so there was a very faint line and afterwards it disappeared. What does this means? Please help.

A: You need to follow the instruction given with your pregnancy test kit very carefully. If you are reading the test after the instructed time it will give a false reading. I would ask your clinic to run a blood test to confirm pregnancy.
