Question

When taking an at home test for illness what does it mean if it changed colors but it's not a choice?

Answer 1

Usually at home tests have a time point when you are supposed to look at the results (like 5 minutes after peeing on it, for instance). Some time after that, if the colors change it is because the test is done and the chemical components are breaking down.

Answer 2

im assuming your using some type of dip stick urinalysis?  it used to happen to me sometimes, usually if the color is darker than the scale, i say its higher, obviously.  i try to see what color it is in between and figure it out from there. if its just no good at all, i will wait a while and take another one
