In order to resolve the confusion in the minds of female friends, gynecological experts have listed several possible reasons for weak positive urine tests, hoping to bring some help to female friends.

What are the possibilities of a weak positive urine test?

1. Normal pregnancy

Although you are pregnant, the pregnancy has only just begun and the HCG level in your urine is not high. If you take a urine test at this time, it will often show a weak positive result. As the pregnancy progresses, the HCG levels in the blood and urine rise rapidly, and the urine test results will gradually become positive or strongly positive. A delay of about a week in menstruation is the best time to take an early pregnancy test.

2. Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is different from normal pregnancy. It is a dangerous gynecological disease. If it is not discovered in time, it will pose a fatal threat. In ectopic pregnancy, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the body is higher than that in normal pregnancy, and the urine test will show a continuous weak positive result using an early pregnancy test strip.

B-ultrasound examination can be performed in time to check the exact location of the gestational sac. Early identification can detect ectopic pregnancy as early as possible and ensure the safety of female friends. When menstruation is delayed by about ten days, it is the best time for B-ultrasound examination.

3. Other diseases

Some tumor cells, such as choriocarcinoma, hydatidiform mole, bronchial carcinoma, and renal cancer, can also stimulate the secretion of HCG in the body. If tested with an early pregnancy test strip, a weak positive result will appear. After a gynecological examination has ruled out the possibility of normal pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy, the possibility of a tumor should be considered.

If the urine test shows a weak positive result and you are eager to find out whether you are pregnant, you can solve the problem by doing a blood HCG test. The HCG blood test is the earliest pregnancy test method that can detect whether a woman is pregnant among all the current pregnancy test methods. You can do a blood HCG test 9 to 11 days after having sex.

From the beginning of the test, if the result is weakly positive, it cannot be said to be an ectopic pregnancy. If a positive result was detected in the previous test, you are pregnant! Well, now the test is weakly positive, it indicates an ectopic pregnancy, because it shows that the HCG value in the body has decreased, but it is not certain.
