<\/span><\/h2>\nSince pregnancy tests detect the HCG levels in the urine,\u00a0 a faint second line will still mean a positive pregnancy. This is as long as you read the results during the specified time indicated in the home pregnancy test\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n
There are instances when a very faint second line may appear on the pregnancy test after the indicated time for reading the results. This is called an evaporation line. Evaporation lines appear on a pregnancy test after a long time has passed and the urine in the test begins to dry.<\/p>\n
The evaporation of the urine can create a shadow along the test line and can often be mistaken for a positive pregnancy test result. This is why it is important that you read you results only in the allotted time stated in the kit\u2019s instructions. Reading the results beyond the allotted time can no longer be valid since evaporation lines may occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
