Now, my vaginal discharge is a bit red, and I'm wondering if it's time for my period. Even now, the test is still positive.History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered.
Desired Help: Am I pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you use a test strip when your period is about to come, it will not show positive. If your period does not arrive by the expected time and the test strip shows positive, this is likely pregnancy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination. Generally, it is not weak positive before menstruation, and the possibility of pregnancy is relatively high. However, because the time is short and the hormone level is not high, it shows weak positive. After a few days, the possibility of a positive result will be much higher. Weak positive has a high possibility of pregnancy! Since it has only been one month since the period stopped, the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level in the body is not yet very high, which is why it shows weak positive. It is recommended to do another test after one week.
