Brief Answer: DO ONE BLOOD TEST FOR BETA-hCG FOR CONFIRMATION. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Two faint lines on two consecutive home pregnancy tests DON'T confirm or exclude pregnancy. I suggest to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to confirm pregnancy. It is more reliable than home pregnancy test in early weeks of pregnancy. Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query. Wish your good health and take care yourself. Regards, Dr Soumen For future query, you can directly approach me through http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/Funnel?page=askDoctorDirectly&docId=63326
