hi,
there is very less possibility for pregnancy in your case,
as after miscarriage for fertilization to occur ovulation should happen which will take at least 2 weeks and for reformation of endometrium also at least 2 weeks is needed,
your faint positive line is mostly because of remaining HCG of prior pregnancy in the blood,
so you need not worry.
take care.
