Decoding Pregnancy Test Results: Evaporation, Indent, and Faint Lines

When you’re trying to get pregnant, you may feel eager, excited, and anxious when taking pregnancy tests. You want to see an easy-to-read result – but unfortunately, the reality of taking pregnancy tests is that the results can sometimes be challenging to interpret.

Faint lines, evaporation lines, indent lines, and more can put a damper on your pregnancy testing experience. Instead of getting excited about the results, you may find yourself confused or disappointed by a difficult-to-read result.

This blog post will teach you how to make sense of confusing pregnancy test lines — including faint lines, evaporation lines, and indent lines — so you can go into your pregnancy testing experience feeling confident and capable of interpreting your test.

The Different Types of Pregnancy Tests and How They Work

Home pregnancy tests use the concentration of the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) found in urine to determine whether or not you are pregnant. They do this by comparing your hCG levels to an average threshold of hCG found in early pregnancy.

Most pregnancy tests show two lines: a control line and a test line. The control line appears to show that you have tested properly, while the test line appears only if the test determines that you are pregnant. These lines are called “indents,” where the ink pools into one or two lines to show if you are pregnant or not.

You generally have the choice between three types of home pregnancy tests: mid-stream, dropper, and dip tests.

  • Mid-stream tests are held in your urine stream for several seconds (after it has already started).
  • Dropper tests use a dropper to extract fresh urine from a cup, which is poured inside the testing well.
  • Dip tests use test strips that are directly submerged into a cup of collected urine.

For each of these options, it’s important to read the instructions and follow them closely for an accurate result. Often, you must wait a few minutes before the pregnancy test shows a result.

You should also make sure to take a pregnancy test at the right time — typically two weeks after the date of ovulation (read more about how to use ovulation test strips correctly) — to ensure you do not receive a false-positive or false-negative result.

After a few minutes, you can look at the test window to determine the result of your pregnancy tests.

Some newer, digital pregnancy tests use a plus or minus sign, or words like “yes” or “pregnant” to make the results less confusing. However, most pregnancy tests use a test line and a control line. When the test line is faint or evaporated, it can be challenging to determine whether you are actually pregnant.
