What Does Faint Line In Pregnancy Test Indicate While On Implanon?

I m on the implanon and my belly is bloated and hard as a rock. For the last week every morning I wake up im nauseated. So I called the health department and the nurse said to take a pregnancy test so I did and it came back positive. But the line is kinda faint. What does this mean?

Hello and welcome,

There are 2 explanations for this:
1. There is an early pregnancy or a missed abortion and hence the line is faint.
2. it is a false positive.

The best way to confirm is by using a blood test to estimate the actual hormone levels in blood. If it is positive then pregnancy is there. Sometimes a missed abortion [ baby is not alive inside] also gives a faint line and low blood levels. In this case an ultrasound scan may be needed for confirmation.

So kindly get a blood test done as soon as possible to clarify matters.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
