    Most likely. Unless you have testicles, in which case you may have testicular cancer.

    In either situation, take another test or two, and then prepare to speak to medical professionals.

    Yes, this is a positive result, or at least it detects signifiers for pregnancy. You should take more tests, but they won’t disqualify the fact that these signifiers are present now. I would speak with a doctor to see if you can get a more accurate test (these could be wrong, don’t think that if you retest and you only see 1 line that you’re “safe”), and discuss potential next steps if necessary.

    Now I understand all those videos of guys thinking it’s a covid test and getting mad. That looks almost identical to a covid tester I had.

    You should see a doctor for better confirmation. My understanding has been, if you see positive on the test, see the doctor for actual confirmation since various things can throw the at home testers off.

    No offense but isn’t this something you can simply find out by reading the directions for the test? It should show examples of positive results, similar to covid tests where it shows you that a faint line is still positive.

    I’d do another test to be sure, but even a faint line can indicate a positive result (similar to Covid tests of the same form factor)

    Best to take more tests. First thing in the morning is often recommended as it can raise the concentration of possible hCG in your urine, making false negatives less likely. If possible and safe for you to do so, a blood test is usually much more accurate, with a lower detection threshold.

    I know it’s probably really stressful and causing a lot of anxiety but, try to do what you can to keep yourself calm and do self care, like drinking chamomile tea or whatever helps you. If it’s super stressful, just take things one day or one hour at a time and try not to put any pressure on yourself for any decisions that you may or may not need to make. You don’t even have the data yet.

    Hope that whatever the result that you have as good of a day as you can.

    Yes, that’s a positive pregnancy test. Any second line visible means it’s positive. But best do another test from another brand to be doubly sure.
