Hold the test up to the light to check for a faint line.

Hi!
I’m 2 weeks overdue and took an Etos test today for the second time. At first glance I thought it was negative, but when I hold it up to the light I can see a faint second line. Does that line always appear, or can you see it even without using the test if you hold it up to the light? Or does it mean something? It’s the type where you have to drip a few drops onto the test with a pipette.

I stopped the pill in October for medical reasons. I’ve been safe every time since then, but you never know—maybe a condom slipped or tore or something…

What else could cause being 2 weeks late? I’m a bit worried.

    Two weeks overdue should normally give a clear positive result. Then you wouldn't have to hold the test up to the light to see anything. Maybe you had an implantation but it went wrong shortly after. That's why your period was late. Or maybe your ovulation was later and you're not yet 2 weeks overdue... but if you had safe sex, the chance is small anyway. Still present, of course, but small. I'd test again in a few days. If this is negative, maybe call your GP. Good luck!

    Thanks for your reply! That puts my mind at ease a bit. If nothing shows up next week, I'll contact my GP to ask what they think.
