What's wrong with the second line of the early pregnancy test being unclear?

Patient's question:

Just took an early pregnancy test, the second line is very faint. Is it because of irregular periods? First follow-up question: What does a weak positive mean? Is it also pregnancy? Or a false positive and not pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Dear lady, in your current condition, the probability of pregnancy is very high. However, if you use a pregnancy test strip to test for early pregnancy, it should be accurate after seven days of missed menstruation. If you need to know the result urgently, you can use a pregnancy test stick to test. Testing for early pregnancy with a pregnancy test stick can accurately detect it five days after intercourse. Rest well, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and wear cotton, loose underwear. Additionally, during the early stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be avoided, and a light diet should be maintained.
