How To Deduce Result Of Pregnancy From HPT?

Ive taken 2 CVS brand HPT both were positive and then a first response HPT that gave me a result of one line on the left side. In the instructions of the FR test it says 2 lines is pregnant and 1line which is on the right side means not pregnant, kind of confused. I had my last child 10 years ago, then my menstraul cycle was kind of off, then about a year ago it started to become regular again... Am I pregnant?

Hello. I have read your query.
I am assuming you did the HPT the week after missing your period.
The standard interpretation is-
2 lines-- positive pregnancy
1 line (its the control display)-- negative for pregnancy.
Different brands of HPT have varying displays eg plus/minus sign, change in color of urine. Please read instructions carefully on your test kits.

A negative test can occur if you'r not pregnant or you have tested too early. But since you have already tested positive twice, its difficult to interpret this result.
I suggest you repeat the test after a few (3-4) days.
Whatever the result-you should consult with your gynecologist:
for early pregnancy workup or workup for delayed irregular periods.
Your doctor may repeat the urine test/do a blood test/pelvic ultrasound to start with.

Hope this helps. All the best.
