What Does A Faint Positive Pregnancy Test Mean?
Hi, I was 5 w 3 days pregnant when I started a miscarriage on June 2nd. I bled for about 1 1/2 weeks and all my pregnancy symptoms went away. I had an ultrasound mid June and the pregnancy was gone. I was intimate with my husband mid June but he never ejaculated. I took a pregnancy test today and it shows a very faint positive line. Can I be pregnant?

There is possibilty that you are developing new pregnancy as precum that is fluid from male pebis prior to ejaculation also contains sperms.
However faint line can also indicate because of your earlier pregnancy as hcg levels take time to vanish completely.
Do your urine pregnancy test in one week to see if the faint line disappears or become dark.
Alternately you can do your beta hcg levels at interval of 48 hrs .
If you are developing new pregnancy than hcg doubles in 48 hrs.
