If only the C line appears, that is, a bar on the control line, it means that the result is negative, indicating that there is no pregnancy at present, but it may also be because the fertilized egg implanted earlier and has not been detected for the time being. If there are two bars on the test strip, one deep and one shallow, it is judged to be weak positive, it may be just pregnant, it is best to re-test with morning urine the next day. If there are two bars, and they are both obvious and clear, it means that you are pregnant. If there is no red line, or no C line, only the T line appears, that is, the test line is a bar, indicating that the test failed, usually because the HCG test strip expired or there was a quality problem.

False positives can occur when certain components are oxidized. In addition, it is best to use morning urine for testing. If you are in an early pregnancy, the concentration of HCG in morning urine is relatively high, which can make the test results more accurate. If you have doubts about the results, you can consider the hospital's blood test to check the HCG of the blood, which is more accurate.
