Although each of these products may look slightly different and provide a different set of directions for use, each one detects the presence of hCG. This indicator contains chemical components called antibodies

What does blue mean on a pregnancy test?

It depends on what that pregnancy test uses to indicate pregnancy. Read the directions carefully to see what they use to indicate a positive or negative pregnancy test.


How does a pregnancy test tell that you are pregnant?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy and the pregnancy test kits determine the pregnancy based on the availability of this hormone in your urine. These are fairly accurate if tested 2 weeks after gestation. Manufacturers claim that the test kits are 99% accurate. Doctors recommend to carry out the home pregnancy test a week after you missed the due date of your cycle.


You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive you are also almost 2 months late on your period is this a phantom pregnancy?

If your pregnancy test is positive then most likely you are. You would be more likely to get a false negative rather than a false positive. If you are unsure, you can request a beta HCG test from your doctor. This will measure the HCG hormone in your blood system which is an indicator of pregnancy. The pregnancy test is positive and you haven't had a period in two months. I see nothing to indicate that this is a 'phantom' pregnancy other than maybe wishful thinking. I've been told that the home test kits may give a false negative, but that they never indicate a false positive.
