Hello,

Pregnancy test result with faint line is always doubtful and it needs to be confirmed by blood test for beta-hCG, which is MORE reliable in early weeks.

On POSITIVE test, one Trans Vaginal Ultrasound scan is advisable to determine the location of pregnancy (tubal or intrauterine) and viability.

Kindly, consult with your doctor following blood test for next management.

All the best and good luck.
