What's the matter with two lines showing early pregnancy after more than a month of abortion?

Many women find out they are pregnant through a pregnancy test strip or a pregnancy test stick. But everyone knows that the results of test paper measurements are not necessarily accurate. Problems with the quality of the test paper or incorrect testing methods may lead to errors in the final results. Some women found that more than a month after having an abortion, the pregnancy test showed two lines. So, what does it mean when there are two lines on the pregnancy display more than a month after an abortion?

1. HCG test is not obvious

When the fertilized egg successfully implants, the placenta initially produces HCG, but the amount produced may be small. Therefore, if you use a pregnancy test stick too early, the HCG level in the human body will usually be relatively low, which may cause one dark line and one light line to appear. To be on the safe side, it is best to test again after 2 days to know exactly whether you have successfully become pregnant.

2. Low urine concentration

Pregnancy test sticks are generally used to test changes in human chorionic gonadotropin in women's urine, also known as HCG. If a woman drinks too much water at night, it will cause her urine concentration to be low, which will dilute the normal level of hormones, which may cause the pregnancy test stick to appear dark and light. Therefore, try to test with your first urine after getting up in the morning to ensure that the urine has been in the bladder for more than 4 hours, and do not drink too much water at night.

3. Ectopic pregnancy

What we usually call ectopic pregnancy refers to the process in which the fertilized egg "sets up camp" outside the uterine cavity. Generally speaking, after a woman becomes pregnant, the amount of HCG secreted by the villi in her body will be relatively large, and the concentration will continue to rise. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, the HCG in the woman's body will change abnormally, resulting in a decrease in the secretion of HCG. This situation may affect the accuracy of a woman's pregnancy test results. If you take pregnancy tests multiple times and the pregnancy test stick still shows one dark and one light, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination as soon as possible to see if there are any symptoms of ectopic pregnancy.

4. Medication or disease

When a woman has some diseases, such as ovarian disease, uterine cancer, gastric cancer, etc., it will also lead to an increase in the secretion of HCG in the body. If a pregnancy test stick is used for testing, it may cause a problem of one dark and one shallow. Or some women may take some hormonal drugs on a regular basis, which may also affect the results of the pregnancy test. If a woman uses a pregnancy test stick after menopause and still sees one dark and one light line, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any other health problems.
