Is A Faint Positive Line In HPT Conclusive?
I miscarried on the 10th of May. My period came back on the 13th of June, it was regular. I started spotting very light pink blood on the 20th that lasted 3 days. The spotting was only on the toilet paper. I took 5 home pregnancy tests and they all came back a faint positive during those 3 days. I m confused because I ve read that a positive won t show until 4-5 past implantation. I m curious as to if I m really pregnant

Hello,
Faint positive pregnancy test is indicative of pregnancy. However, you can have a repeat blood test as hCG shows up in the blood faster than in the urine.
You are suggested to visit your gynecologist get physically examined & get USG done to confirm pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
