Is this a positive ca125 test?

Ordered a test after posting elsewhere about short periods, irregular cycles, low BBT, low progesterone/oestrogen, and someone suggested ca125.
I did a home test and I can definitely see a faint line in real life - but could it be an indent?
GP did bloods (hormones, not this) and I need to go back to discuss so I’ll raise this. But struggling to get an appt. Don’t want to panic if it isn’t actually positive though..
recently lost a close relative to cancer which is increasing my concern.

It looks like the middle, negative example to me.

Ca125 anything lower than 35 I believe, is considered higher than normal.
There are many conditions that cause a raised ca125.
I'd advise you visit the GP and have a ca125 test and let them decide on the path after the results.
My mum had ovarian cancer her ca125 was in the 100s, but even if you have a high ca125 is doesn't mean it's cancer.

Hi, couple years back i had heavy periods , bad pains and a ca125 blood test was done and mine was over 400! Even my doctor was concerned.. i was put on a 2 week referral to see a gynaecologist more tests
were needed and doc suggested a coil to go in and my ca125 was done again and it had dropped.. been ok with periods since.. all isnt bad when ca125 is high.👍
