Suggest A Confirmatory Test For Pregnancy

Posted on Wed, 7 Oct 2015

Question: Positive??

Answered by Dr. Soumya (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Get serum beta hCG blood test for accurate results

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I saw the attached picture of home pregnancy test.

This appears to be weakly positive. But weak positive results are not hundred percent guarantee of pregnancy. You need to repeat this home pregnancy test again after 2 days to confirm if there is strong line in pregnancy test.

I suggest you get serum beta hCG blood test done which will accurately predict pregnancy than these home pregnancy tests.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.
