Is A Faint Line In A Pregnancy Test Indicative Of Being Pregnant?

I went to the obgyn today and asked to be put on birth control, of course they have to do a pregnancy test. She said I was fine but I got a call about an hour later that there was a faint line and they wanted me to come in for a blood test. What is the possibility that I am pregnant?

Thank you for posting on HCM
It really depends to sensitivity of urine pregnancy test assay - I presume the one that Obgyn is using is fairly sensitive - I suggest not to take birth control pill til you get blood test done to confirm re levels of pregnancy hormone in blood
Hope this helps
