What Causes Equivocal Results With Pregnancy Test Kits?
the last time I saw my period was 38/05/2016 and now we are in July still it did not come, I took home pregnancy the first one was positive but wit very faint line and today I took again and it was negative iam so sad cos am try to conceive pls can u help me?
Hello dear Understand your concern Absence of period since from long time is not normal. Following are the cause of equivocal results: Ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy), low HCG level, did tests in wrong way. Now I would suggests to consult the gynecologist and undergo blood HCG and USG scan to confirm the above cause. In absence of pregnancy, period can be induced by progesterone injection/tablets. Ectopic pregnancy should be removed by surgery. In low HCG, HCG injection and progesterone should be given to maintain the pregnancy in absence of any detected abnormality. Take proper rest, healthy diet with iron and folic acid supplements. Hope this may help you
