What’s going on when the test strip tests one deep and one light but you’re on your period?

If you have a morning pregnancy test that is dark and light but your period is coming, it may be related to medication, biochemical pregnancy, pre-miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
1. Taking medications: When women take sex hormone-related medications (such as ovulation drugs, birth control pills, etc.), it may cause changes in hormone levels in the body, resulting in false-positive early pregnancy tests.
2. Biochemical pregnancy, preeclampsia: When there is a biochemical pregnancy or preeclampsia, the concentration of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) increases, but not as continuously as in a normal pregnancy, so it may appear in the early pregnancy test paper is a deep and light two bars.
3. Ectopic pregnancy: the most serious situation is that there may be ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level of ectopic pregnancy is lower than that of normal pregnancy, and there will be a small amount of vaginal bleeding after menopause, which is similar to the performance of the onset of menstruation.
When menstruation still occurs after pregnancy is suspected, it is best to go to the hospital to test the concentration of HCG in the blood as well as improve ultrasound and other related examinations to clarify the cause and determine the next step in the treatment plan.
