Faint positive line on HPT pregnancy test
Q: I did a pregnancy test this morning and there was a very faint positive second line after 3 minutes. What does a faint line mean? Am I pregnant?
A: You either see a second line or you don't. Even a faint line is a positive line, as long as it's read within the suggested time frame. If you do the pregnancy test properly and read it within the recommended time, then a faint and weak line is very likely a positive pregnancy test. There could be several reasons that the line is faint and not darker
The urine is too diluted to show a stronger second line. Test again with first morning urine.
You may have tested a little earlier then you thought you were and ovulation happened later than you calculated.
You may be much later then you thought. The hCG level normally decreases after 9-10 weeks.
