Hi doc! my pregnancy test showed me positive but the other line is faint!am i really pregnant? im delayed for 12days and have spotting 4 days!

Most likely yes: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If the test result is only a faint positive line, a woman can repeat the test after 1 more week to confirm.
