Am i pregnant if pregnancy test is faintly positive?
Patient: Hi, 2 days ago I did a home pregnancy test as I was having symptoms. It came up with a faint but clear positive. I took another this morning to be sure and again it came up a faint positive but took a bit longer for results to be clear. Am I pregnant or could the test be wrong. Doctor: Hello dearI understand your concernFaint positive pregnancy could be due to1. Done very early in the pregnancy2. Done with diluted urine and Failure to follow instructions properly while doing test3. Chemical pregnancy/miscarriage4. Positive pregnancy test as some time pregnancy test will give false negative testPregnancy test will give positive result 8-10 days after the missed period.I would suggest to go for blood HCG test after consulting the gynecologist for final confirmation of the pregnancy.Blood HCG is more accurate test and give positive result only 10 days after the unprotected sex.Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of waterHope this may help youBest regardsDr. Sagar
