A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I've been using the Prega News kit, and there's a very faint line that showed up after a minute of taking the test. It wasn't there when I first checked right after the test. This faint line is barely visible, doesn't have much color, and it isn't showing in the picture I took. Does this mean it's just too early to tell, or could this mean a negative result? I'm a bit unsure and would love some guidance on this.

-A very faint line can sometimes appear when the test is taken early, as the hCG levels might be too low to show a strong result. It's best to wait a few more days and retest, as testing too early can lead to unclear results.
