I came off the contraceptive pill early december and had aperiod on the 15th which was normal. I am due again but it hasnt arrived. As I have been having un protecetd sex I took a test yesterday and a very thin, faint line appeared in test window. I took another straightaway and again a very faint line. The other window had a deep purple line. Am I pregnant/?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion even the faint line suggests pregnancy.The faint line is seen in cases of miscarriage,ectopic pregnancy,any hormonal abnormalities like thyroid insufficiency or progesterone insufficiency,in cases if the test is done too early etc.As you had unprotected intercourse there would be chances for pregnancy.Usually urine pregnancy test gives good results a week after missed period.I suggest you to repeat the test after a week.And if still faint line then consult doctor as you might also need ultrasound to know the pregnancy status and treatment accordingly.Nothing to worry.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
