Hello,

Faint line on pregnancy test kit doesn't mean you are pregnant. As it's equivocal, you may have to undergo a blood HCG test to confirm if you are pregnant or not. In my opinion, you can't be pregnant as you had sex during the periods time. So you don't need to be worried.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
