Very Tired. Pregnancy Test Faintly Positive Despite Regular Period. What Is Going On?
Hey, I am over two weeks late for my period. I have been a little more tired and not have been really hungry. I took a test after a week of being late and it came out negative then after two weeks of being late I took two tests that came out faintly positive. My period is always regular. Am I pregnant or could it be something else?

Hi Keana,
Thanks for posting your query.
If previously your periods were regular & now you are getting late & pregnancy test is coming weakly positive, it means you can be pregnant.
However to be weakly positive is a matter of concern.
So consult your doctor & get your blood beta HCG test done, if it is doubling every 48 hourly then it is ok;otherwise get trans vaginal scan done to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
All The Best.
