Is this pregnancy or menstrual irregularity?

Patient's question:

I've been married for two years and haven't been pregnant yet. But this time, I feel my period is delayed by more than two weeks. I took a pregnancy test, and it showed two lines, though they weren't very clear—kind of faint and blurry. I want to ask if this means I'm pregnant or if it's just irregular menstruation? Currently, I don't have any other symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is delayed, the result of a pregnancy test shows a weak positive. This situation may indicate pregnancy, but it's still too early. It is recommended to wait and see for a few more days. If the test paper shows a positive result, it confirms pregnancy. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital to have your human chorionic gonadotropin levels checked. If the levels rise, pregnancy is confirmed again. Regular prenatal check-ups can be done in this case. It is advisable to have a blood test to check the level of human chorionic gonadotropin at the hospital, which is relatively more accurate.
