A member asked:
Is it normal to have a faint positive pregnancy line on your reading at five weeks pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Huh?: Not sure i understand this.... You are pregnant and wondering if your pregnancy test should have a faint positive line? Yes, it should. The test is not a quantitative test and cannot be used to "follow" your pregnancy. The faint positive means "yes you are likely pregnant." but you already knew that. If you are concerned see your doc who can perform a quantitative test.
