Does A Faint Line In An HPT Mean Pregnancy?

I've taken three home pregnancy tests, all of which have been postive but i wasnt sure becuase the postive line was quite faint, i went into a chemist yesterday though and they told me that the tests still meant i was pregnant, however i have started bleeding a few hours ago and im really unsure what this means? its not massivly heavy but i have really bad cramps and it feels like a normal period.. could this have happened from an abortion i prevouisly have had in the past? and does it mean i am no longer pregnant? .. Thankyou

Hello thank you approaching health care magic,I understand your problem.

Faint line in urine pregnancy kit may be due to -

Pregnancy with low levels of human chronic gonadotropin(HCG) harmone.
Error in test result ,long after some time there may be faint line in the absences of pregnancy.

You said you got periods but did not mentioned whether it is coinciding with your actual dates or not.

It could be pregnancy with spontaneous abortion,repeat the test after 1 week.

Get an ultra sound abdomen ,and consult a gynic.

Hope this will help you,thank you.
