A very faint line usually means you are pregnant, any faint line over the positive means you are, it just may well be that your hormone levels are low due to being too early in the pregnancy therefore the test is only just picking it up giving you a slight positive . Some have had a positive test early then found out later they are not pregnant a reason for this is because the levels have dropped to normal which is usually because those ''unfortunate woman have miscarried . Try retesting in another few days or weeks. The test clearly says not to test until the first day your period is due, because you ovulate 2weeks before (which is when ''most'' woman become pregnant.) Also that is why they count 40 weeks from your last period, to allow for the 2weeks ovulation. Every woman is different, some have higher HCG levels than others which explains why some are able to get a quicker result before others. Everyone has a different opinion, so when you ask you must openminded to different answers, if you are unsure of your result and you are overdue for your period then I suggest you see a midwife or doctor.
Two lines should show up If you are pregnant on a pregnancy test /:
that means your pregnant.
Two pink lines pregnant, one pink line not pregnant.
As long as two lines are still visable, even if one is extreamly faint, it means the test has detected hcg in your urine. The only very for sure way to know is to have an ultrasound done to set your mind at ease and make it so you are not always checking every day to make sure!
On most pregnancy tests: 1 line means: if the one line that you see is the control line, your test is negative; if the one line that you see is the test line, your test is invalid, and you must use a new test. 2 lines means: if you have two lines on a pregnancy test then your test is positive; if one line is lighter than the other, your test result is still positive.
Well, it depends if you have two faint lines then yes you are pregnant. HCG levels in your system is not as high. This situation happened to me before in 2004. I had to take 6 pregnancy tests to be sure cause they were so faint. I went to the clinic and they did the pregnancy tests and it came out faint, but I was pregnant. If not sure then schedule appointment to see the doctor.
There are a few reasons for faint lines on an at-home pregnancy test. You could have taken the test too soon, your urine was diluted, you were using a sensitive test, or you experienced a chemical pregnancy. To ensure better clarity my suggestion is to buy a more expensive test that clearly reads "pregnant" or "not pregnant" or you could buy some other form of a digital test. That will help with any confusion that might occur with pregnancy tests that require you to read lines or dots that may appear faint. If you do have positive result and it is faint, it is quite possible that you are pregnant. Wait a couple of days and try again to see if you get clearer results.

Even if it is very faint in color if it is there it is positive. I had one once and it was the faintest line, you could barely see it , and I was pregnant.
Yes. A pregnancy test is considered positive no matter how faint the lines are. Faint lines can be caused by a number of reasons like using diluted urine, factory defect, or not having a high hormone level. If you are questioning your tests answer always wait a few days and retest.
Okay, if you can see there is two lines, but one is very faint, that is a 50% chance that it is. It could also be from sitting too long, as tests can become positive after a while. This is not what I understand. I was told that any line at all = positive, as the HCG that the test measures isn't in your body unless you're pregnant.
Two lines should show up If you are pregnant on a pregnancy test /:
Try again. You may still be pregnant.
one line only is negative.. 2 is positive (doesn't matter if lines are faint)
Most likely yes, you are pregnant or were. I don't think a pregnancy test can read positive without HCG present and HCG is produced by pregnancy. If it is a digital pregnancy test and reads positive you are definitely pregnant. Do be aware of evaporation lines that are gray or colorless. Make sure this positive line is colored. If the positive lines are not all colored you could be seeing the evaporation line which could be misread as a positive.
Two lines
you are not.. the horizontal lines are just blotting of urine.. the vertical line is the one that confrims your pregnancy..
